Cocoa contains theobromine and caffeine, the effects of which set in more gradually than those in coffee, but last longer. The unique ratio of these substances provides an unusual combination of stimulation and calming at the same time. Look forward to a state of calm and relaxed alertness.

According to traditional cultures, cocoa contributes to recovery and works as an overall boost for the body. In its country of origin it is used to support digestion, childbirth or breastfeeding and as a boost not only in old age. It also has anaphrodisiac effects.

This cocoa is made from selected cocoa nibs sourced from organic farming. The small batch is being created right here at BEWIT.

### Cocoa - the precious food of the gods

The cacao tree (//Theobroma cacao//) is a tree native to tropical parts of South America. Today it is widespread throughout the tropical belt, widely cultivated in Africa (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon and others). Its name means "food of the gods". The fruits are pods about 30 cm long that contain seeds called cocoa beans inside. And it is precisely from these that cocoa is made, a raw material beloved worldwide.

What is ceremonial cocoa?

Ceremonial cocoa is designed for meditation ceremonies and rituals, whether by this ritual you mean a morning moment to yourself with a cup of the delicious drink, or special cocoa circles. We make it with love from quality cocoa beans in organic quality, which have undergone gentle processing to preserve the maximum of beneficial substances in them.

Cocoa ceremonies originated in the 1990s in the context of the New Age movement. They loosely follow the traditions of Central American civilizations such as the Maya and Aztecs. For them, cacao was a sacred and ritualistic ingredient. It was expensive, so it was only available to selected high-ranking warriors and also served as a form of currency.

What is the difference between chocolate and 100% cocoa mass?

The cocoa mass consists exclusively ground cocoa beans. It can be used pure, e.g. as ceremonial cocoa, or used as raw material for further processing, e.g. for chocolate. Chocolate is then made from cocoa mass, which is tempered and supplemented with sugar or other added ingredients.

 
### Method of use

Ceremonial cocoa is traditionally prepared as a hot drink. Cut the cocoa with a ceramic knife into smaller pieces and pour the desired amount of water, vegetable milk, or herbal or spice decoction.

The liquid you choose should be at a temperature of 70 to 80 °C to preserve as many beneficial substances as possible. To dissolve and simultaneously create a rich foam, use a whisk (if you have one, the traditional Mexican molinillo), a matcha whisk, or an immersion blender.

If you need to, add sweetener to taste. The taste of cocoa is well combined with e.g. our "BEWIT Cane Juice Dried Organic, Unrefined":[https://bewit.love/produkt/bio-susena-trtinova-stava-panela-rapadura], "BEWIT Date Powder, Organic":[https://bewit.love/produkt/bewit-datlovy-prasek-bio] or "BEWIT Coconut Syrup, Organic":[https://bewit.love/produkt/bewit-bio-kokosovy-sirup].

There are no limits to the combinations of tastes and intentions!

Cocoa is traditionally prepared with intention, in a space cleansed with heating agents (palo santo, white sage, copal, etc.), in the presence of the element of fire and music.

 
### Dosage

For 200 ml of drink you will need:
- For beginners and children - drink of more delicate taste: 15-20 g
- For cocoa full of flavour: 20-34 g
- Ceremonial dose: 34-44 g
