Frequently Asked Questions

For the perfect ritual, mix 1 scoop (20g / 2 tablespoons) of Kurai Cacao with 250ml of hot water or your favorite plant-based milk. Heat it gently (avoiding a full boil to preserve the nutrients) and use a frother or blender for 10-20 seconds to create that signature ceremonial foam. Sip mindfully and set your intention.

Unlike commercial chocolate, Kurai Cacao has a rich, earthy, and deep flavor profile. Our blends are intentionally curated for a sophisticated palate: Focus carries the grounding notes of Lion’s Mane, while Beauty is centered around the restorative power of Collagen, subtly enhanced with warm notes of cinnamon and vanilla. Each sip is designed to be a balance of functional power and sensory pleasure.

Absolutely! While we love the traditional hot water ritual, Kurai Cacao is a versatile superfood. You can blend it into your morning smoothies, stir it into coffee for a functional 'Mocha boost, or even add it to your favorite baking recipes to infuse them with adaptogens and premium cacao flavor.

Cacao contains a very small amount of caffeine, but its primary stimulant is Theobromine. Unlike the 'jitters' and crash from coffee, Theobromine provides a gentle, sustained energy boost and improves blood flow without overstimulating the nervous system.

Pure ceremonial cacao contains healthy fats and minimal calories, which may technically break a metabolic fast. However, many in the fasting community use it as a 'fat fast' tool. It provides stable energy and suppresses hunger without the insulin spike associated with sugar or processed snacks.

Regular cocoa powder is often highly processed at high temperatures, stripping away natural fats (cacao butter) and vital nutrients. Kurai Cacao is 'ceremonial grade', meaning it is minimally processed to preserve the living enzymes, antioxidants, and theobromine. We keep the natural cacao butter intact, which is essential for the slow absorption of nutrients and that rich, creamy texture.

While cacao is a superfood, it is a natural vasodilator. We recommend that pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with severe heart conditions, or those on SSRI antidepressants consult their doctor before consuming ceremonial amounts.
