SOMA AUSTRALIAN CEREMONIAL CACAO – DAINTREE REGION
Embark on a journey with the essence of single-origin, certified organic cacao—100% pure cacao paste sourced from the breathtaking Daintree region in Far North Queensland, Australia. Nestled between two UNESCO-listed wonders—the iconic Great Barrier Reef and the ancient Daintree Rainforest—these cacao trees thrive in a pristine environment.
Dedicated growers in the region prioritize environmental sustainability, ensuring no chemical run-off that could harm the soil or waterways. On-farm inputs, including leaves, prunings, and cacao pods, contribute to fertilizers, while cacao pod juice, a by-product of extraction, becomes a natural weed-killer through fermentation. The presence of green ants acts as a natural pest control system, preying on beetles, termites, and moths.
The decision to source this cacao locally is driven by a commitment to sustainability, support for local businesses, and, most importantly, a connection with the Soma Cacao community, sharing the joy of cacao from nearby origins.
Certified organic by the ACO and recipient of the Cocoa of Excellence Award, this cacao boasts a deliciously smooth, light, chocolatey, and uplifting profile. Much like fine wine and coffee, cacao quality varies based on soil, climate, genetics, and post-harvest processes. Dedication to single-origin cacao ensures the distinct flavor profile of each region remains intact, though it may vary month to month or harvest to harvest.
As the Mayans revered cacao as ‘The food of the Gods,’ at Soma Cacao, experience its millennia-old tradition of being prepared into a beverage for rituals, celebrations, and medicinal use. Scientifically, cacao proves to be a potent source of iron and magnesium, rich in antioxidants, and supportive of neurotransmitter production, including serotonin, dopamine, and anandamide—the “bliss molecule.” Cacao’s crown jewel, theobromine, offers a gentle, long-lasting stimulant that uplifts without a crash.
This cacao, sourced from the heart of Daintree, reflects the dedication of local farmers to preserving the rainforest and minimizing environmental impact. Indulge in the rich history and diverse flavors of cacao from one of the world’s oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests!
Ingredients:
100% Pure Whole-Bean Cacao Paste (solidified)
Additional Information
Preparation: Step 1: Measure 1 tablespoon (10-15g) of cacao for gentle drink, 2 tablespoons (25-30g) for a creative boost, or, on special occasions, 3 tablespoons (40-45g) for a "ceremonial" dose. Step 2: Using a milk frother, handheld barmix, or heat-proof blender, blend cacao with 150ml very hot (not boiling) water, 40ml plant-based milk and sweetener to taste (e.g. honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar). Step 3: Pour into your favorite cup. Pause to take a moment of gratitude, and perhaps even set an intention for your day. Inhale the aroma, sip and savour.$64.00
