Drinks Ceremonies

Ceremonial Cacao

A Cacao Ceremony is a spiritual ritual that involves drinking ceremonial grade cacao in a group setting to facilitate connection, healing, and self-exploration. It originates from ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions and has gained popularity in modern times for its ability to promote mindfulness and personal growth. 

Ceremonial Cacao is made from heirloom strains of Cacao from Central and South America and the top quality product we use is imported from Peru. Unlike conventional cacao or cocoa powder, ceremonial cacao has not been de-fatted and is minimally processed under low temperatures to maximize its health benefits, plus it tastes exceptional!

Yerba Mate

Yerba mate is an herb native to South America and is used to make the national drink of Argentina, Paraguay, Uraguay and Southern Brazil. Discovered by the indigenous peoples of the forests of Paraguay and Southern Brazil, it was known as an herb “from the gods” used mostly for physical stamina. 

Yerba mate is often described as earthy, vegetal, herbaceous and bittersweet, a beverage with the energy kick of coffee, the smooth flavour of traditional tea, the healing components of herbal tea and the feel-good factor of chocolate. In fact, the yerba mate plant contains caffeine and the other stimulants also found in coffee, tea and chocolate. Generally, the caffeine content of a yerba mate beverage is typically more than black tea but less than coffee – give it a try!

Moroccan Mint Tea

Anyone who has visited Morocco will have experienced mint tea – just about every Moroccan person consumes numerous glassfuls every day! It is simply made with fresh mint leaves and green tea with sugar added to taste to produce a refreshing drink, but it is the mixing and pouring ceremony that makes it something special!
