### Cocoa - the precious food of the gods

The true 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 from them that cocoa is produced, a raw material popular all over the world.

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, therefore it was only accessible to selected high-ranking men and it was also used as 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. For example, coconut sugar, stevia, or 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 Carob Syrup, Organic":[https://bewit.love/produkt/bewit-karobovy-sirup-bio].

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, children and drink more delicate taste: 15-20 g
- For cocoa full of flavour: 20–34 g
- Ceremonial dose: 34–44 g

Store in a dry and dark place. Ideally at a temperature between 14-18 °C, up to a maximum of 24 °C, protect against temperature fluctuations. Once opened, store in a tightly sealed container - food moths love cocoa.

 
### Warning

This product does not have a powdery consistency, it is a solid mass, which must be chopped or grated before use. This is not tempered chocolate. Fatty blooms are natural, they are not a defect.

Due to the theobromine and caffeine content in combination, the effects of which can last up to 7 hours, we recommend drinking cocoa rather in the morning.
