Make every day sacred with an at-home cacao ceremony. Cacao was used by the ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures as a way of connecting into the heart’s wisdom and accessing divine guidance. Cacao ceremonies are enjoying a wave of popularity, as we look for new ways to ease the tensions of modern life, and access states of deep relaxation, without causing damage to our bodies and minds. Enjoy as a morning ritual, to replace coffee, or an evening ceremony, to replace alcohol.
Pure unroasted Peruvian cacao with added stevia & spices. Created to make a cacao drink with, but it tastes so good, you can eat as is for a high vibe pure chocolate hit!
Our chocolate bars are produced by hand, in a process which takes a couple of days to ensure a superior quality bar. All our bars are crammed with super foods! Not just a token nod, we believe adding super foods to our chocolate is an important part of creating a high vibe treat that delivers optimum joy.
The chocolates are wrapped in biodegradable plastic with a cardboard outer box.
We believe we were the first people in the world to commercially produce raw chocolate bars, in 2005. Back then we only had cacao beans, so we would grind them up with brazil nuts and agave nectar to create what we named the Hi-bar. In 2006, cacao powder was introduced to the market, and we upgraded our recipes and started producing bars such as Whoosh, Be the Change, and Hi-Lovers.
Now, over a decade later, we are excited to introduce a new upgrade to our processes. For the first time, we are producing our bars in a dedicated chocolate facility. We conch and temper the raw cacao to produce a bar of outstanding velvety smoothness.
What has always made our bars stand out from the rest is the generous amount of superfoods we include. Every bar contains a medicinal dose of potent plant foods to take your energy and vitality to the next level. Now we can offer you this exceptional nutritional content in an even more delicious package.
We use pure unroasted Peruvian cacao, and as a sweetener we use Ecuadorian cane juice crystals. This is a unique sweetener that ticks every single desirable box: low glycemic, high in minerals, truly raw, truly vegan, fairtrade, and with a blissful melt in the mouth texture.
Then we add superfoods. Try all the range! Be the Change (reishi and Klamath Lake algae), Whoosh (maca, gingko and vanilla), Hi-Lovers (maca, shatavari and rose) & the upcoming Ceremonial Cacao bar.

How To Use
Grate or finely chop half a bar. Add to a pan with 1 cup spring water, and simmer gently until all the cacao is melted (don’t bring to the boil). Set your intentions as you stir. If you’re in a hurry, you can simply add the cacao chunks to a blender and blend with hot water. Don’t add sweetener or milk as this lessens the potency of the cacao. Sip slowly, and as you do, give thanks for all the blessings in your life, release what no longer serves you, visualise all the wonderful things that you want to invite in, and call back your power into you.
