It was around a wonderful gathering with Mélanie and Julie that we discovered, tasted and enjoyed a cocoa ceremony. A ceremony around a cocoa of exceptional quality, kindness and incredible energies. We came out enlightened, aligned with ourselves, serene, touched and filled with new energies.
 
With this Cocoa Ceremony Kit we invite you to taste a real cocoa originating in Peru, where cocoa trees, the Criollos, grow naturally. All cocoa beans are carefully selected and chosen by Julie's local farmer partner.
 
Nazca Peru cocoa is minimally processed to ensure that its natural properties are retained. Drinking Nazca Peru benefits the human body in several ways: it is excellent not only for promoting healthy skin, heart, brain and stomach, but also for boosting energy, fighting depression and promote weight loss.
 
Nazca Peru is described as "the quintessence of delicacy" of cocoa. The main theme of this cocoa is authenticity. After drinking about 300ml (ie 20/30g of cocoa), you can observe its psychoactive effects: it stimulates creativity, allows you to turn inward… to contemplate! To start, do it slowly, with 15g per cup for example and observe the effects. You can drink it both in the morning and in the afternoon. The preparation is simple, you can add a little cinnamon, a pinch of cayenne pepper, a pinch of sea salt and vegetable milk and a drop of happy maple to sweeten it.

Cocoa is a little-known superfood in Europe.
"Theobroma Cacao" literally means "food of the gods"... This name does not come without reason; cocoa is one of the healthiest superfoods in the world, containing 400 to 500 different compounds.
 
Here are a few:
Iron: Cocoa is the highest natural source of iron, far more so than red meat. Iron also energizes your body, strengthens your immune system and helps with concentration.
 
Theobromine: Besides caffeine, this compound acts as a muscle stimulant and relaxant. It energizes the body, improves your mood and lowers blood pressure at the same time.
 
Magnesium: As one of the highest plant sources of magnesium, cocoa keeps your heart and brain healthy and gives you clarity and focus.
 
Zinc: Zinc supports a healthy nervous and immune system.
 
Phosphorus: Actually much better than calcium, this mineral is great for healthy bones and teeth.
 
Antioxidants: Cocoa is the most antioxidant food in the world — 15 times more than blueberries, 20 times more than green tea, and 30 times more than red wine. Antioxidants improve blood circulation and protect you from aging - which is why cocoa is the world's number one "longevity" food.
 
Contraindications
- People taking anti-depressants
- People with high blood pressure
 
For pregnant or breastfeeding women, no contraindications, it is possible to reduce the ceremonial dose to live the experience in a gentler way. Cocoa is not a hallucinogenic medicinal plant. The theobromine it contains allows for a smooth and mindful experience.
