In a world that pulls you in a thousand directions, cacao brings you home to your heart.
The relentless pace of modern life is overwhelming.
Constant rushed mornings leave us disconnected from ourselves.
At Cacao Love, we believe radical, heart-led living shouldn’t be a luxury for those with time to spare.
With a cup of cacao, begin your mornings with presence, and feel more focus, more joy and more connection throughout your day.
-
Boost Your Energy
Cacao stimulates the cardiovascular system, giving a full body high without the anxious buzz of coffee.
-
Reduce Your Stress
Cacao stimulates the release of endorphins, which calm the body's stress response and act as a powerful and natural anti-depressant.
-
Improve Your Focus
Cacao stimulates the production of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that aids mental concentration, focus and the cultivation of positivity towards life.
Joy to the body, openness to the heart, clarity to the mind!
"I ask that blessings fall upon everyone who drinks our cacao, so that the blessings of our forest plantations can continue to support us. May our brothers and sisters continue to be imbued with more strength in their search for wellbeing with cacao. Pasonki"
Ángel Pedro Valerio
Asháninka leader, president of CARE, an organisation that represents 23 Indigenous communities, some living in voluntary isolation.

Cacao Love is proudly Asháninka grown.
We have personal, direct and ongoing relationships with the farmers who tend the orchards that produce our cacao. Created in small forest clearings, these remote villages are located six hours up river from the nearest town of Satipo, in the Junín province of Peru.
Self-governing communities
The Asháninka are largest Indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon. They are organised as a network of autonomous communities, a political structure that has sustained their resilience across centuries.
Sacred plant medicine
Central to traditional healing in Asháninka culture is the use of sacred plant medicines, including ayahuasca, coca and tobacco.
Diverse ecosystem
The Junín National Reserve protects over 53,000 hectares of high-altitude wetlands, hosting diverse wildlife, migratory birds, insects, and native frogs.
Located in the Central Highlands
Junín is a high-altitude province located in the central highlands of Peru. It sits at an elevation of over 4,100 metres and is home to Lake Junín, the largest lake in Peru.
Stories, science, and daily rituals to ground, guide, and transform your life.
Cacao Love Letters
Our weekly love letters are free, longform explorations that distil original cacao research into simple, practical ways to live a heart-led life.
You’ve probably discovered that most information online about cacao is a rehash of the same handful of facts again and again and again.
We created this Substack to share stories, discoveries, and the research that most people don’t know exists.
It is the most in-depth resource about cacao online.
Each letter guides you to a deeper relationship with cacao, and shows you how to integrate what you learn into how you live each day.
Join us in this exploration, and discover beautiful rituals to hold space for yourself and those you love.
We understand how hard it can be to prioritise your wellbeing.
And we know that most people fail to stick to new habits.
This is why we have made transformation taste delicious by sharing our life-changing cacao and guided meditations with thousands of people all over the world.
By following our free video recipes, it takes just a few minutes to prepare your cacao each morning, and our free guided meditations are between ten and fifteen minutes long, meaning there is always time to choose a mindful start to the day, even with the busiest of schedules.
Like any mindfulness practice, the life-changing benefits of a conscious morning ritual build over time, and with each serving of Cacao Love working out at just £1.88, it is a small investment in your daily wellbeing.
Ceremonial Grade Cacao is chocolate in its most natural, most nutritious and most delicious form. This means it is vegan, gluten-free, and free from added sugars. If this is your first time experiencing cacao, you’ll find our video recipes super easy follow, ensuring you enjoy a sensational drink, every time!
Not all cacao is ethically sourced, and one of the things we value about Cacao Love is that from seed to ceremony, we work only with indigenous growers on family-owned plots of land. Our cacao is grown as part of a diverse forest ecosystem and the families we work with are able to live entirely from their forests in the Central Highlands of Peru. For these growers, our purchases contribute towards a truly regenerative economy: sharing profits, harvests, and economic gain with those in the community.
