What is the difference between Ceremonial Cacao and Raw Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is grown and prepared with intention and ritual by indigenous communities who have been using cacao for spiritual purposes for thousands of years. It is traditionally consumed in a ceremonial setting, such as a traditional cacao ceremony, to connect with the spirit of the cacao and to facilitate deep healing and inner exploration.
Raw cacao, on the other hand, is typically consumed for its high nutrient content and culinary versatility. It can be used in a variety of recipes, from smoothies to desserts, and is known for its rich flavour and health benefits. While raw cacao can certainly be used in ceremonial contexts, it is not specifically grown or prepared with the same level of intention and ritual as ceremonial cacao. At Sacred Taste, we believe that ceremonial cacao and raw cacao are two distinct forms of cacao with different purposes and energies.
Ceremonial cacao is specifically grown, harvested, and prepared for use in sacred cacao ceremonies, while raw cacao is typically consumed for its nutritional and culinary benefits.
Can I drink Ceremonial Cacao everyday?
We believe the consumption of ceremonial cacao holds a special place. While it is possible to drink ceremonial cacao every day, it is essential to approach this practice with mindfulness and reverence. We advise on drinking your ceremonial grade cacao on special occasions, in a ritualistic practice or in sacred ceremony.
What are the benefits of Cacao?
- Calms the mind - Cacao contains Magnesium and other compounds that help relax the nervous system, decreasing stress levels and inducing a blissful state.
- Elevates the mood - The production of endorphins from cacao consumption can enhance mood and promote a sense of happiness and well-being.
- Enhances focus and productivity - Cacao contains Theobromine, a caffein like substance that helps increase blood flow to the brain to mental clarity, memory and focus.
- Relaxes the nervous system - Cacao contains several powerful antioxidants, including flavonoids and polyphenols, that are known to protect the brain from oxidative stress.
- Deepens connection - Cacao has been used in spiritual and ceremonial practices for centuries to connect with higher spiritual energies.
- Provides sustainable energy - Theobromine, a caffeine-like compound found in cacao, can boost energy levels without the jitters associated with caffeine.

Meet The Founder
DJ turned adventureprenuer, Dan Koch spent his early years featuring on the lineups of some of the biggest trance events and festivals in Australia.
Finding the scene too toxic with drugs and alcohol, Dan left the industry at the height of his career to pursue a more holistic lifestyle. After doing three years sobriety with Cacao as his only substitute, Dan discovered a new way to party and celebrate life, without compromising his health or the experience.
In August 2019, Dan travelled to South America in search of the origins of cacao. It was his mission to go straight to source and discover exactly where cacao comes from, how it is made and the impact it has on the local people and environment.
After spending weeks travelling through the high and lowlands of Peru, his journey led him into the centre of the Amazon basin and to the birthplace of cacao. After a 16 hour bus ride and 7 hour canoe ride, he reached the heart of the Amazon basin where he met with the oldest Indigenous tribes in South America, the Ashaninka. Here, he discovered the importance of cacao, the essence of its spirit and learnt about the Ashaninka way of life.
Now, five years on, he has founded Sacred Taste and is turning the party industry on its head, throwing drug and alcohol free Cacao parties that are good for the planet and the people, where every drink sold and each pack purchased, protects an acre of Indigenous Lands in the Amazon Rainforest from where their Cacao comes from.
