The Sol Alkhemi cacao is all about self-love. By intentionally choosing myself, setting intentions and really appreciating the cacao, I've created a ritual that has become very special to me. Something I can always come back to. I enjoy mixing and matcing the different cacao sorts and it makes it extra special. The cacao ritual really works its magic.

I came across Sol Alkhemi's instagram and bought a 44 g box in each flavour and WOW! I am blown away by how gorgeous and delicious this cacao is. I live in Sydney and it arrived the next day. Can't wait to order more.

Ceremonial Cacao working in synergy With Medicinal Herbs
Increase energy and vitality
Cacao contains theobromine which offers a smooth and sustained release of energy. This works synergistically with the adaptogens which support the body's natural energy production and help maintain vitality.
Reduce stress and anxiety
Adaptogens reduce stress and anxiety by regulating cortisol levels, balancing neurotransmitters, exerting anti-inflammatory effects, supporting energy production, and modulating the HPA axis, which collectively helps the body adapt to and cope with stress more effectively.
Improve mental focus & clarity
Cacao is rich in flavanols, which enhance blood flow to the brain, supporting better cognitive performance, including memory and attention. The adaptogens in our blends help improve mental clarity, focus, and concentration, providing a natural way to support cognitive function and combat mental fatigue.
Enhance mood
Cacao elevates mood by increasing serotonin, triggering endorphin release, and promoting improved brain blood flow. It also contains PEA, which is often referred to as the "love molecule" and is associated with mood boosting effects.
Support Immunity
Adaptogens have immunomodulatory properties, helping to regulate and balance the immune system's response. They can enhance immune function when it's underactive and prevent excessive activation in conditions of overactivity.

This has been such a boost to my week! Usually a dose of 2 tableya a day, or three if getting extra creative. And blended for extra creamy, frothy texture.
The flavor is perfect, not too sweet, malty and delicious.
I love the heart connection that comes with this cacao.

I tried the Lola Cacao for the first time and was absolutely blown away at how delicious this drink is. It was so smooth and easy to make. I was suggested to use a frother to make the drink by the beautiful creator herself, and I will never go back to stirring with a spoon ever again. Maz is the best.

Love how delicious this was, this combo gave me so much inner clarity and was perfect for a group journalling session and wellness ritual with my girlfriends and i! <3
Got Questions?
How often can I enjoy cacao?
This is entirely up to you and your individual constitution. Some people are more sensitive to cacao than others.
We suggest that you start with once per day and if you’ve never had ceremonial cacao before, start with a micro dose. From there, work your way up gradually to your desired dose, checking in with how you feel with each increase and settling on the dose that suits you best.
Once you’ve done that, you can slowly introduce another serving to your day if you feel called to it, however we suggest keeping it to a smaller dose and a least 4 hours from your last serve. We also advise that you gradually work your way up to anything beyond 44 grams of cacao over a few days and that you do not exceed more than 85 g in total per day. Allow the innate wisdom of your body to guide you.
How much cacao should I have per dose?
We advise that if you haven’t had ceremonial cacao before, or if you have a sensitive constitution, it’s best to start with a micro dose.
If you wish to enjoy ceremonial cacao as a daily practice at home, anything up to a creative dose is suitable. If you are partaking in ceremonial dosing, no more than 2-3 times per week is best.
We also advise that you gradually work your way up to anything beyond 44 grams of cacao over a few days and that you do not exceed more than 85 g in total per day. Only those with an established practice and who respond well to cacao should partake in ceremonial dosing.
Micro Dose – 1 Tableya (Approximately 11 grams):
Starting dose for those new to ceremonial cacao or those with sensitive constitutions.
Daily Dose – 2 Tableya (Approximately 22 grams):
The recommended dose for daily enjoyment.
Creative Dose – 3 Tableya (Approximately 33 grams):
For enhancing your creative & artistic processes.
Ceremonial dose – 4 Tableya (Approximately 44 grams):
The recommended dose for use in cacao ceremonies, shamanic work & deep meditation.

What happens if I have too much cacao?
Consuming cacao in moderation is generally safe and even offers many potential health benefits due to its antioxidant content. However, excessive consumption of cacao or cocoa products can lead to various potential effects, including:
• Caffeine and Theobromine Intake: Cacao contains caffeine and theobromine, which are stimulants. Excessive consumption can result in symptoms such as increased heart rate, restlessness, anxiety, jitteriness, and difficulty sleeping. The severity of these effects can vary depending on an individual’s sensitivity to these compounds.
• Digestive Discomfort: Cacao is naturally high in fibre, and consuming it in excess can lead to digestive discomfort, including bloating, gas, and diarrhoea.
• Potential Allergic Reactions: While rare, some individuals may be allergic to cacao. Over consumption increases the risk of allergic reactions.
Does Tsokolate contain sugar?
Tsokolate does not contain any added sugar, or sugar alcohols. It is lightly sweetened naturally with a certified organic, pure monk fruit juice powder. Monk fruit’s delightful sweetness is a gift from nature, thanks to its natural antioxidants called ‘mogrosides.’ Hailing from the mystical mountains of China, where monks treasured it for centuries, Monk Fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, was not just a fruit but a revered traditional Chinese medicine. These days it’s valued as an ingredient in many products because it provides sweetness without the calories and potential blood sugar spikes associated with sugar. If you prefer you cacao to be sweeter, add your sweetener of choice to taste. We love pure monk fruit juice, coconut sugar or maple syrup.
Does cacao contain caffeine?
Yes, in very small amounts. The caffeine content of cacao ranges from 0.1% to 0.5%, depending on which type of beans are being used. Unprocessed raw cacao has much less caffeine than processed cacao powder and significantly less caffeine than coffee making it an ideal coffee alternative.
30 g of pure raw cacao contains about 40 mg of caffeine. To provide some context, 1 shot of espresso contains between 75 and 100 mg of caffeine whereas a cup of black tea contains between 49 and 90 mg of caffeine.
Theobromine is the stimulant that is predominantly found in raw cacao. It is in the same alkaloid family as caffeine but is non-addictive, more gentle on the adrenal glands and nervous system and is more alkalizing. It works on the cardiovascular system, increasing your blood flow throughout the body and brain, providing a longer, more sustained focus and energy. Caffeine on the other hand, works on the nervous system and this can result in a more jittery and sudden energy hit.
Are there any contraindications to consuming cacao?
Certain antidepressant medications, like monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), might interact with elements in cacao. MAOIs can impact the breakdown of amines, and if combined with foods high in tyramine (more in aged or fermented foods), it could cause a hypertensive crisis. While cacao has less tyramine than some other foods, it’s a good idea for people on MAOIs to talk to their healthcare provider about what they eat.
Is cacao safe to consume in pregnancy?
As always, we encourage you to make choices that align with your unique needs and circumstances, as we all have individual considerations and constitutions. To ensure your well-being, we strongly advise you to consult with your trusted healthcare professional if you’re considering the use of cacao during pregnancy.
That said, for healthy individuals with no underlying conditions, cacao is generally considered safe during pregnancy. Recent research has indicated that while cacao is entirely safe in small quantities, it may potentially exacerbate pre-existing conditions, such as preeclampsia, in the third trimester. Therefore, we recommend a daily upper limit of 30 grams during the first two trimesters and 15 grams per day during the third trimester.
It’s worth noting that some indigenous cultures have regarded cacao as a beneficial addition to the diet during pregnancy. This remarkable plant medicine and food have been traditionally offered to expectant mothers, providing them with stamina and helping reduce depletion during labor, reflecting its long-standing role as a cherished source of support for women during this transformational journey.
Is cacao safe to consume when breastfeeding?
As always, we encourage you to make choices that align with your individual preferences and needs, as we all have unique considerations and constitutions. To ensure your well-being, we strongly recommend consulting with your trusted healthcare professional if you’re interested in incorporating cacao into your diet while breastfeeding.
That said, for both mothers and babies who are healthy with no underlying conditions, we generally consider cacao to be safe during breastfeeding. Cacao can serve as a valuable supplement to support the well-being of both the mother and her baby, offering an energy boost for those who wish to avoid caffeine. We recommend a total weekly intake of up to 90 grams, with a single dose not exceeding 30 grams.
