Ayurvedic perspective
In Ayurveda, cardamom is known as balancing, warming, and gently refreshing. It supports digestive fire Agni, opens the chest, and deepens the breath. Cardamom softens tension, brings mental clarity, and is harmonising for Vata and Kapha.
Cacao naturally contains theobromine, which supports circulation and heart energy, and is rich in minerals such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and copper. Together, this makes this cacao a gentle plant ally for both body and heart.
How to use
From one 500 gram block, you can prepare approximately twelve cups of ceremonial cacao, depending on your preferred dosage.

- Warm 180 to 220 millilitres of water or (plant-based) milk to around 70°C.
