Whereas cocoa is made using a fermentation process drying, roasting and then milling cacao beans into a fine powder - raw cacao is made from unprocessed and unroasted cacao powder.

This gives raw cacao a subtle chocolate flavour and an improved nutrition profile since many of the natural phytonutrients, enzymes and vitamins found naturally in the cacao bean may be lost during the roasting process.

You’ll find organic raw cacao in our Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi where it imparts a rich, smooth chocolate flavour.

Cocoa originates from South America and was used by the Mayans for ceremonial rituals and health purposes.

Harvested from the cacao fruit tree, also known as Theobroma Cacao, cocoa is high in fibre, polyphenols, iron and magnesium and also contains phenylethylamine and theobromines which may have mood enhancing properties.

Cocoa beans are crushed, the fat or cocoa butter is removed, the beans are roasted and ground to create a deep, rich, intense, chocolaty, slightly bitter, slightly sweet flavour.

We pride ourselves in sourcing the best quality organic cocoa for our Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi. It is so good we couldn’t resist adding a touch to our Coffee + Collagen.

Reishi

Known as ‘The Mushroom of Immortality’, Reshi has been used in traditional medicine practices for millenia. In Traditional Chinese medicine, Reshi is considered a ‘Shen Tonic’, used for restoring emotional balance, calm and consciousness. As such it has been studied as an incredible support to help wind down and improve sleep.Thanks to the naturally occurring active compounds such as beta-glucan polysaccharides and triterpenes found in Reishi, this mushroom has been found to be adaptogenic, aid cardiovascular health, support hormonal balance, and natural immune function. These powerful triterpenes are also what accounts for the bitter taste in reishi and is therefore is a good indicator of quality. Our Reishi Mushroom is 100% fruiting body and grown in controlled organic conditions to ensure purity. 

You can find our Organic Reishi Mushroom in our Cacao + Reishi Blend, formulated for your Rest Rituals.

We use an intensely delicious organic beetroot powder which adds depth, richness and velvety texture to our Cacao + Collagen, Radiant Collagyn and Cacao + Reishi blends.

Also known as Indian ginseng this botanical is native to North Africa and India. It has been used for over 3000 years as one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine.

The Sanskrit translation of ashwagandha is ‘smell of the horse’ which refers to its ancient belief of supporting energy, endurance and strength.

In the West, ashwagandha is known as an adaptogen which helps build resilience to stress. These benefits are thought to be attributed to bioactive compounds naturally present in ashwagandha called withanolides.

As for taste, ashwagandha has a sweet, nutty, malty taste which adds a real comfort factor. It is one of our favourites and you can find organic ashwagandha in our Coffee + Collagen, Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi blends.

Originating in Africa, the baobab tree produces a hard fruit with a shell like coconut which is full of nutritious pulp. Baobab is an exceptional unique fruit with the ability to naturally dehydrate while still on the branch.

Our organic baobab has a delicate slightly sweet and tangy flavour and adds a creamy texture to our Coffee + Collagen, Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi.
