What is Ceremonial Cacao?

Ceremonial Grade Cacao is a sacred plant medicine that has been revered for centuries by indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica for its role in spiritual growth, emotional healing, and physical well-being.

At Grounded Cup, we are dedicated to bringing this tradition to life in Melbourne and throughout Australia, offering the best ceremonial cacao sourced ethically and sustainably from family-owned farms in Peru.

Unlike conventional cocoa powder or chocolate, our ceremonial cacao remains free from additives and chemicals, ensuring a pure, unprocessed experience. We focus on the well-being of both the environment and the farmers, supporting fair and sustainable practices throughout the production process.

It’s more than just a product—it’s a journey toward connection with earth, spirit, and community. Experience the richness of ceremonial grade cacao delivered across Australia, thoughtfully crafted to enhance your well-being and spiritual practice.

Just tried and loved

I’ve been using their pre-chopped cacao for a while and really love it, but decided to try the powder for an upcoming camping trip since it’s more convenient. It’s super easy to use—about two tablespoons in one cup does the trick for me, and it’s a lot quicker than cutting or grating. I’ll definitely be keeping both options on hand!

Love ✨🍃

I’ve always loved using moringa oil, but this one with the blue lotus infusion is on another level. The subtle herbal scent is lovely, and it absorbs easily, leaving my skin soft and nourished

Delicious cacao.

We first tried their cacao at their van in Richmond and they shared the recipe with us, so we now make it at home all the time. Quick postage and friendly staff. ❤️🫶

This is my 4th order of the ceremonial cacao. I started including it in my morning routine, instead of coffee about 3 months ago, and I am loving it.

Amaru Cacao Paste

The Amaru Paste is a rare, 100% organic, single-origin ceremonial cacao with unique therapeutic properties. Hand-crafted from criollo cacao in Tocache, Peru, it is organically shade-grown and hand-selected for the best potency and quality.

The Spiral in Andean cosmovision represents the Ukhu Pacha - the world below and the connection to our ancestors, and this ceremonial paste is made in honour of the Awajun tribe.

It brings uplifting, heart-opening bliss and energizing clarity, making it perfect for use in ceremonies involving movement, breath work, dance, expression, and daily use for energy, immunity, balance, and well-being. With a strong profile of sweet and fruity flavours absorbed from the Amazonian agroforestry in which it grows, it has shown it to be potent in levels of ethanolamides (NAEs), polyphenols, and tryptophan for intense bliss, mental clarity, joy, and happiness.

Uturunku Cacao Paste

The Uturunku by Seleno Health is handcrafted from indigenous cacao in Tarapoto, Peru, in honor of the Uturunku (Jaguar).

This rare and ancestral cacao is grown from wild trees in the area, making it a unique ceremonial cacao. The Uturunku (Quecha language - Jaguar) in Andean cosmovision represents the Kay Pacha - the natural world of the here and now, which makes it ideal for grounding and inner work.

The pods of the Uturunku are less dense and thicker-walled, resulting in less cacao per year, hence its rarity but producing a rich and complex flavour profile.

We recommend this cacao for use in ceremonies involving embodiment, trauma release, meditation, connection, and awakening, and for daily use to assist with feeling present, improving mental health, providing mental connection, and mind-body-spirit balance. The rarity and potency of the Uturunku make it a special and powerful ceremonial tool.
