Why Drink Cacao?

Energy, sleep, digestion, skin, periods—there’s a cup for that.

If you love dark chocolate, you’re already halfway there. But unlike your average bar of chocolate, our pure grated cacao isn’t loaded with sugar or additives. It’s just one ingredient: organic, stoneground cacao—rich, smooth, and naturally functional.

We’re talking the kind of cup that supports your focus, digestion, and mood—all while tasting like a creamy, dark hot chocolate.

Here’s why it deserves a daily spot in your routine:

For Energy

A calm lift without the caffeine crash.

Our cacao contains theobromine, a natural stimulant that gives you a steady boost—without the jitters, spikes, or crash. It supports clear, calm focus (ideal for morning emails or the afternoon slump).

If you’ve ever felt wired from coffee or struggled with sleep after an afternoon flat white, this might be your moment to switch.

📦 Try it in our Starter Kit—with everything you need to get frothing.

For Sleep

Yes, you can drink it in the evening.

Surprise: cacao isn’t just for mornings. Thanks to magnesium (to relax muscles and support your nervous system) and tryptophan (a precursor to melatonin), a night-time cup can help you wind down and get better sleep.

Skip the wine. Add hot cacao to your wind-down routine instead.

For Skin

Glow from the inside out.

Cacao is naturally rich in antioxidants, which help protect against oxidative stress and support healthy, balanced skin. Add in zinc (which helps with cell repair and oil regulation), and you’ve got yourself an internal skincare ritual.

We like to think of it as a glow-up in a cup.

For Digestion

Good gut vibes only.

Our grated cacao is 30% fibre, which means it’s a great way to support healthy digestion, feed your gut, and keep things moving. It’s especially helpful in the morning—paired with warm liquid, it gently gets your system going.

Bonus: it keeps you full and satisfied too.

For Period Support

Cravings with benefits.

Craving chocolate around your period? Your body’s onto something. Cacao is naturally high in magnesium, zinc, iron, and antioxidants—all of which help support your cycle and ease symptoms like cramps, fatigue, and low mood.

And because our cacao is 100% pure (with no added sugar), it’s a nourishing way to satisfy those cravings and support your body at the same time.

A Little Cacao History

The original way to drink it? Pretty close to how we do.

Centuries ago, cacao was used by the Mayans and Aztecs in rituals, ceremonies, and daily life. Beans were roasted, ground, and mixed with hot water or spices to create a rich, frothy drink. No sugar, no dairy—just cacao.

Today, our grated cacao is made the same way: roasted, stoneground, and ready to mix. The only difference? We now have frothers, oat milk, and cosy mugs to make the ritual even better.
