Lion’s Mane has long been used in traditional practices and is known for its role in rituals that invite awareness, clarity, and mental presence. Used by Buddhist monks to heighten their state of meditation, it has gained renewed interest across Europe. It moves through the cacao with a steady and grounded character.
Combined with the full ceremonial cacao bean, never defatted or alkalised, and stone-ground in small batches, the cacao retains its natural richness and depth.
Golden Focus honours the traditional pairing of cacao with cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla, spices used for centuries in ceremonial preparations across Mesoamerica. Together, they create a smooth and rounded flavour, allowing each element to unfold in a harmonious and layered experience.
A blend that reflects a balance of ancestral tradition, crafted for moments of presence, intention, and conscious action.

As you prepare your cacao, allow the ritual of preparation to become a pause for reflection. The simple act of whisking becomes a moment of focus, a way to gather your energy and bring clarity to your intention.

As you sip, invite steadiness into your awareness. Let your thoughts settle into a more spacious rhythm, where action can arise with clarity and ease.

Let this moment invite mind and heart coherence, a gentle alignment between thought, feeling, and purpose, creating space for clarity, presence, and inspired action, allowing you to move forward with awareness and intention.

Usage Precautions:

Lion’s Mane is a functional mushroom traditionally used in herbal practices.

Begin with a smaller serving to understand how it feels in your body. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

Avoid use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are taking medication or have underlying health conditions, consult a healthcare professional before use.

This product is not intended to substitute a varied and balanced diet.

Cacao is always best enjoyed fresh, ideally right after opening, and shared with loved ones. If not, be sure to store it in a cool, dry place.

To extend its shelf life (up to two years or more), keep your cacao away from moisture and temperature fluctuations. As a natural, preservative-free product, ceremonial cacao is more sensitive than commercial chocolate and may change in texture over time.

If it melts or shifts in appearance, don’t worry, it’s still perfectly fine to use and retains all its nourishing properties.

*Ceremonial Cacao
Ethically sourced from Indigenous Q’eqchi’ and Poqomchi’ Maya family farmers from Alta Verapaz, Guatemala

𓍊𓋼 Key Ingredient: *Lion’s Mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus)
Lion’s Mane is a functional (non-psychedelic) mushroom, traditionally used in herbal practices and known for its role in rituals of awareness and presence.

This cacao blend contains a concentrated dual-extracted 15:1 Lion’s Mane extract. Using both water and alcohol extraction methods, this process captures a broad range of naturally occurring compounds within the mushroom.

A 15:1 extract means that 15 grams of raw, dried Lion’s Mane are used to produce 1 gram of extract. Sourced from the fruiting body and prepared without additives or mycelium, it integrates smoothly into the cacao while allowing the flavour of the blend to remain balanced and refined.

*Cardamom

Grown alongside cacao in Guatemala and known as the queen of spices, has long been traditionally paired with cacao in Mesoamerican preparations. It contributes aromatic brightness and warmth.

*Ceylon Cinnamon
Softly warming and aromatic, cinnamon brings smooth structure to the blend, supporting a balanced and steady flavour profile.

*Vanilla
Subtle and harmonising, vanilla smooths the cacao and spices, creating a clean and smooth, rounded experience.

*from organic farming

From Bean-to-Cup

In the fertile region of Alta Verapaz in northern Guatemala, cacao is grown by Indigenous Q’eqchi’ and Poqomchi’ Maya communities, whose ceremonial relationship with cacao is deeply woven into the spiritual history of the land. Referenced in the Popol Vuh, this region remains a place where cacao is grown with reverence, patience, and prayer.

Surrounded by rivers, mountains, and tropical cloud forest, cacao trees grow within diverse agroforestry systems that mirror the natural landscape. These environments allow native cacao varieties to develop slowly, shaped by climate, soil, and altitude, maintained by farmers who continue these traditional growing systems in harmony with the land and its natural rhythms.

We collaborate with smallholder farmers and FEDECOVERA, a respected Indigenous regional cooperative partner, supporting thousands of Maya farmers. This collaboration strengthens community well-being through education, healthcare access, and sustainable agroforestry, while protecting sacred traditions and the rainforest ecosystems that sustain them.

Once harvested, fermented, and sun-dried, the beans are carefully hand-sorted and made ready for transport to the Netherlands, where they are stone-ground and prepared in small batches. The final packaging is carried out by a social working team, extending the journey into a space of inclusion and shared contribution.

With each cup, you are connected to the landscapes of Guatemala and the communities who continue to carry this tradition forward.

By choosing this cacao, you are supporting a supply chain rooted in mutual care, creating a ripple effect of positive change from the land and the farmers, to your cup.
