So you’re curious about trying ceremonial cacao. But what is the best ceremonial cacao to buy online?
Here are my favorites! Tune into which ceremonial cacao is calling you.
If you’re called to experiment with different ceremonial cacao brands and can afford it, follow the calling – otherwise start with one and see how it feels as part of your morning or afternoon ritual.
Remember: cacao spirit is a frequency that can be called upon even when not drinking cacao. We covered its plant consciousness on this podcast episode.
That said, the physical benefits of drinking ceremonial cacao are undeniable, and it’s oh so delicious and grounding!
As you may have picked up on the podcast episode, our recommendation is to not use store bought powder cacao. It has usually been dutch processed (or stripped of its nutrients and the fat), so it will most likely not be an authentic experience.
Not to mention all the brands we use are trusted for their integrity and authenticity.
While ceremonial cacao can seem expensive, please consider the price of making sure farmers and workers are paid fair wages. Unfortunately most of the cacao farmers in the world are extremely underpaid.
Ksenia’s Ceremonial Cacao Recommendations:
I’ve intentionally sat with every major cacao brand on the market, and these are my very favorites right now – based on the taste, texture, authenticity and integrity of the brand, and energetic experience of the product. Choose what speaks to you!
1. WANA HEY Ceremonial Cacao
ABOUT:
WANA HEY ceremonial cacao (and chocolate!) is the smoothest, most gentle, and complete ceremonial cacao I’ve ever worked with! It is crafted from ceremonial-grade, wild strain Peruvian cacao, produced at origin with integrity and deep respect for the land and the people who steward this sacred plant.
Unlike many ceremonial cacaos that arrive in dense blocks requiring chopping, mixing, and guesswork — WANA HEY is already ceremonially complete and ready to weave with you. It is made with the purest Peruvian ceremonial cacao, alchemized with organic rose, golden lucuma, sea salt, and a touch of coconut sugar.
“I created WANA HEY in one of the most challenging seasons of my life — as a single mother, rebuilding from the ground up. In the midst of heartbreak and unraveling, cacao showed me a way back to myself. It softened the noise in my head and awakened the truth in my body. WANA HEY exists to carry that same medicine forward: to remind women everywhere that their softness is sacred, their feelings are wise, and their creativity is not optional.” — Ksenia
CEREMONIAL CACAO PRODUCTS:

2. Ora Cacao
Firefly ceremonial cacao comes in a disk shape that’s very easy to blend (or eat straight up, which is what I often end up doing).
I have ordered the Ceremonial Cacao Sampler Kit and tried all the flavors, and these are my favorites:
- Tantric Rose Blossom – the only ingredients are ceremonial cacao and rose blend, no sweetener. It’s smooth and warming. Rose and chocolate make a fantastic heart-opening combo.
- Vibrant Vitality – this ceremonial cacao with tricolor maca and turmeric is very nutty and earthy, and is one of my all-time favorites. Blend it with hot water, coconut oil and sweetener, and it’s ready!
- Connected Colombia – the only ingredient is 100% ceremonial cacao with nothing added, yet this is one of the smoothest cacao experiences I’ve ever had. I’m obsessed!

3. Cacao Laboratory
Cacao Lab is a conscious ceremonial cacao brand founded to bridge the gap between the modern culture and the indigenous communities.They work closely with the Tzʼutujil in Guatemala to spread the message of cacao medicine around the world.
- Plain: 1KG ceremonial cacao paste block with nothing added – buy this if you want plain cacao and will add your own spices. The experience is smooth and powerfully grounding. Format: It comes in what looks like an oversized chocolate bar shape, making you feel like you’re Alice in Wonderland. Make sure you chop it before blending. This cacao is great for making your own sacred ceremonial chocolate!
- Spiced: Elemental cacao options are Water, Fire, Air and Water, with spices and superfoods like cardamom, maca and damiana already added (no sweetener). Format: Chocolate bars that can be easily broken up into squares and places into a blender – no chopping needed.

4. Keith’s Cacao
Keith’s Cacao could be the most potent cacao I’ve experienced – start with a smaller dose. Keith’s ceremonial cacao blocks come pure with nothing added, making it a powerful way of connecting with pure cacao and a flavor playground to add spices and superfoods you’re drawn to.
Keith’s Cacao is said to be the world’s first “ceremonial” cacao founded by Keith, aka “The chocolate shaman.”
