Amazonik Taster Gift Set: Cacao Paste, Nibs, & Tea

Amazonik Cacao offers premium, single-origin cacao products, sustainably sourced and minimally processed to preserve their rich nutrients and authentic flavours.

Cacao beans are the whole seed, while nibs are broken, roasted pieces of the bean, offering the same nutrition with a convenient texture.

We source our cacao from trusted single-origin farms and work closely with experienced farmers who are committed to quality and responsible growing practices. Our cacao is minimally processed to preserve its natural energetic, nutritional, and sensory qualities — no additives, no shortcuts. Ethically traded and intentionally crafted, Amazonik Cacao is rooted in respect for the people and processes behind every bean.

Yes, all Amazonik Cacao products are 100% plant-based, making them suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and quality.

Most products have a shelf life of 12–18 months if stored properly. Check individual packaging for specific expiry dates.

Yes, Amazonik Cacao is safe for children and can be a healthier alternative to sugary chocolate, though portions should be moderate - recommended dose is 5-10 grams.

Cacao tea is a delicate, aromatic infusion made from the husks of the cacao bean. Naturally rich in antioxidants and theobromine, it offers a gentle energy lift and a subtle chocolate flavour without the intensity of a full cacao dose. To prepare, steep the husks in hot water with a garnish of your choice — such as honey, lime, or cloves — for 5–7 minutes. Strain and enjoy: simple, soulful, and grounding.

The Taster Gift Set is a curated collection of cacao paste, nibs, and tea, ideal for exploring the versatility of cacao or gifting to others.

Criollo cacao is a rare and premium, and precious variety known for its refined flavour, low bitterness, and superior nutrient profile - it makesn up 0.01% of the global production and was at risk of extinction for many years.

Cacao is rich in magnesium, iron, and antioxidants, promoting heart health, mood enhancement, and sustained energy.

Cacao has a small amount of caffeine but contains theobromine, which provides a gentler, longer-lasting energy boost without jitters.

While the terms ‘cacao’ and ‘cocoa’ are often used interchangeably, there’s a key difference when it comes to their processing and health benefits. Cacao refers to the raw, minimally processed form of the cacao bean — it’s rich in antioxidants, supports mood, enhances brain function, promotes heart health and circulation, encourages radiant skin, and may aid in weight management. Cocoa powder, on the other hand, is more heavily processed, often at high temperatures. This reduces its nutritional value and may include added sugars, hydrogenated oils, and artificial flavours — ingredients that can contribute to weight gain and other health concerns. Choosing cacao means choosing a more natural, nutrient-dense option that supports both body and mind.

Not in the traditional sense. Cacao is a natural stimulant, thanks to compounds like theobromine and phenylethylamine, which gently elevate mood, increase blood flow, and heighten focus and clarity. It doesn’t induce a psychedelic state, but many people report feeling euphoric, open-hearted, and deeply connected - especially in ceremonial or intentional settings.

Yes. In its purest, most unprocessed form, cacao is revered as a plant medicine. Used for thousands of years by indigenous cultures — especially the Maya — it has spiritual, emotional, and physiological benefits. It’s been used in ceremony to open the heart, aid inner work, and support healing, clarity and connection.

Simply dissolve the desired amount depending on how strong you like it, in warm water or milk, whisking until smooth. It’s recommended to start with a low dose of 15–20g in 150–200ml of water. You can gradually increase the amount if desired — 30–35g is considered a medium dose. A high ceremonial dose ranges from 40–50g, though it’s advised not to exceed 50g without proper preparation and guidance. Adjust sweeteners or spices to taste.

Absolutely! Cacao paste can be used as a base for desserts, sauces, and baked goods for a rich chocolate flavour.
