Heat6–8 oz of water or milk until steaming, not boiling.
Whisk and sipFroth it smooth, sweeten if you like, and drink it slowly.

Why full-fat matters

Most cacao and cocoa powders have their natural butter pressed out. We keep all of it, and you can taste the difference.

Full fat ceremonial cacao compared with defatted cacao powder

Richer and creamier

The cacao butter gives a full, smooth body, even when you make it with water.

The whole bean

Nothing removed, nothing added. Just cacao, the way it grows.

A steadier lift

The natural fat slows absorption, which is why many people describe the energy as smooth rather than sharp.

Why people drink it every day

A calmer coffee alternative

Cacao's lift comes mostly from theobromine, a gentle relative of caffeine, so many people find the energy calmer and clearer than coffee, without the crash.

A daily ritual

A slow morning cup, a companion for meditation, yoga or breathwork, or the center of a cacao ceremony shared with friends.

Naturally nutrient-dense

Whole cacao is one of the richest natural food sources of magnesium, and also brings iron and the flavanols found in the bean.

Mana Cacao is a food, not a supplement. We don't make health claims; we just keep the cacao whole and pure.

Real words from verified Amazon customers.

★★★★★

Very high quality cacao

“I have purchased and consumed a lot of cacao over the years. There is something about the frequency and the clean energy from this one that is unlike any other. And the taste is amazing. My favorite by far… It mixes easily and has a creamy texture, not chalky.”

Exactly what I wanted!

“Incredible product! Taste was top tier, and the energy it gave me all day was undeniable. Coffee has always been my go to but always had me jittery. This was smooth constant energy with zero jitters! Will absolutely be buying again.”

Such a great addition to my life!

“I have been on a journey of health while trying to live with more intention. This Mana Cacao is the perfect complement to my life. I love the taste when sweetened a bit with dates or honey… I set my intention and enjoy this replacement to my 2nd cup of coffee.”

A note from our founder

“Cacao changed something in me. I just wanted to share that with people.”

I started Mana Cacao out of love, plain and simple. Cacao was my morning drink for a year before I decided to bring it to the United States, with one intention: start with the highest quality beans and turn them into the best cacao I could.

I've traveled all over Central and South America, Guatemala and Peru especially, and nothing I tried compared to the cacao here in Costa Rica. It's the creamiest and most flavorful I've found. The volcanic soil and tropical climate give it a depth you can't fake.

Ours is heirloom cacao, roasted at low temperatures for the shortest time possible and kept whole and full-fat. Every bag carries a little of the land, the farmers and the care that goes into it. I hope you feel it too.

Michael GarvinFounder, Mana Cacao

Grown in the heart of Costa Rica

We work directly with small farms in Costa Rica's rainforest regions, many of them Indigenous-owned, where cacao is still treated as a sacred plant. Volcanic soil, humid jungle climate and traditional small-batch processing: that's what makes Mana Cacao taste alive.
