Like coffee, cacao activates the brain. But where caffeine brings a sharp onset and a fast crash, theobromine acts gently and lasts — no jitters, no slump.

Cacao — theobromine
Coffee — caffeine
0h 2h 4h 6h 8h Energy
Caffeine from coffee4 Fast onset, peak at ~1 hour, then a steep drop. A typical energy crash at 4–5 hours.
Theobromine from cacao1 Gradual onset, peak at ~3–4 hours, effects lasting 6–8 hours. No jitters, no crash.

Built With Intent

Powerlogy World Class Ceremonial Cacao is 100% unadulterated cacao beans. Every 100 g contains three groups of bioactive compounds.

Theobromine
1 320 mg per 100 g
A gentle, sustained stimulant. Unlike caffeine, it dilates blood vessels and brings calm alertness without jitteriness. Effects last 6–8 hours and fade gradually — no crash.1
Flavonoids and polyphenols
1 030 mg per 100 g
Supporting circulation and cognitive function. Significantly more than alkalised cacao. They increase blood flow to the brain and contribute to mental clarity.2
Tryptophan
~230 mg per 100 g
A natural serotonin precursor. The body converts it into serotonin — the neurotransmitter of contentment and inner calm. Combined with theobromine, it creates a sense of balanced well-being.
Magnesium
280 mg per 100 g
A natural mineral from cacao beans. Each 20 g serving contains ~56 mg of magnesium — the natural content of the raw ingredient, with no added fortification.

Why Chuncho

Most cacao on the market is alkalised and blended from various varieties. Chuncho is different — rare, limited, and acclaimed.3

Varietal origin

Chuncho — an Andean rarity

Harvested just once a year in the sacred region of Quillabamba in Cusco. One of the most ancient cacao varieties in the world — recognised at the International Cocoa Awards.

Processing

Hand-picked, lightly roasted

Non-alkalised. Beans are processed traditionally in small batches directly in Peru – preserving maximum flavonoid and theobromine content.

Purity

BIO + lab tested

Certified BIO. Lab tests confirm the absence of pesticides, mycotoxins, and heavy metals. Ochratoxin A below the detection limit.

A return to ancient tradition

The ancient cultures of South America, including the Incas and the Maya, drank pure cacao during important moments and rituals. They saw it as a drink that helps calm the mind, cultivate presence and inner awareness. Today, this tradition is making a comeback. Ceremonial cacao made from high-quality, minimally processed beans is rich in antioxidants, minerals, and theobromine. It gently energises, supporting focus, creativity, and a sense of wellbeing.

The ritual can include quiet sitting, breathwork, or meditation — the aim is to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and mindfully savour the present moment.

Flavonoids in cacao — it all comes down to processing

Alkalisation (Dutch process) destroys up to 90% of flavonoids. Powerlogy World Class Ceremonial Cacao Chuncho is non-alkalised.4

Alkalized cacao (Dutch process)~3 mg/g
Standard cocoa powder~7 mg/g
Powerlogy World Class Chuncho10,3 mg/g
Total flavonoids per gram of raw material. Comparative values: average from published studies for each processing type.

How to prepare ceremonial cacao

The recommended serving is 15–20 g per cup (200 ml). Use warm, not boiling, water or milk.

1
Measure
15–20 g of cacao. Start with 15 g if you are trying cacao for the first time.
2
Mix
Mix with warm liquid (70–80 °C). Whisk or use a handheld frother for a creamy foam.
3
Presence
Drink slowly, in silence. The effects of theobromine will set in within 20–30 minutes.

Ceremonial cacao may be consumed in moderation during pregnancy, as it contains theobromine and a small amount of caffeine. It is advisable to monitor total daily caffeine intake (max. 200 mg/day) and to be mindful of individual tolerance. Studies suggest that excessive consumption may affect blood flow to the foetus. For the safety of both mother and child, it is recommended to consult a doctor regarding cacao intake.

Frequently asked questions

Chuncho is one of the most ancient and rarest cacao varieties in the world, grown exclusively in the Quillabamba region of Peru's Cusco. It bears fruit only once a year, harvested by hand in small batches, and has been recognised at the International Cocoa Awards. Its flavour profile is exceptionally refined — minimal bitterness, with notes of dried fruit and nuts.

Both products are 100% pure cacao beans with no additives. World Class Chuncho comes from Peru (Chuncho variety), while the classic Ceremonial Cacao is from Colombia (Fino de Aroma). Chuncho has a more pronounced theobromine profile and a softer, less bitter flavour — making it ideal for those new to ceremonial cacao or those who prefer a gentler taste experience.

Yes, but in very small amounts — approximately 42 mg per 20 g serving, which is significantly less than a cup of coffee (80–120 mg). The primary stimulant is theobromine (264 mg per serving), which acts more gently, lasts longer, and comes without the typical caffeine crash.

Yes. 15–20 g per day is a standard serving. For most people, morning or before focused mental work is ideal. Those who are more sensitive are advised to avoid consuming it in the evening due to the mild stimulating effect of theobromine.

Yes. World Class Ceremonial Cacao Chuncho is a 100% plant-based product — free from lactose, gluten, and any additives. BIO certified, made in Slovakia.

Translated from SK

I used the cacao in a cacao ceremony and when I compare it to other brands I've used so far, this one is without a doubt the best.

Translated from SK

Full chocolate flavour, great ;)

But please, dear Powerlogy, you write a dosage of 15-20g and then sell it as one big thick chocolate bar? No notches/grooves so we can at least break off that dose like from a normal chocolate bar? If for this money I still have to hack at it with a knife on a chopping board, and lose bits in the process, then I'd rather just buy the Ceremonial Cacao 300g, where it's at least portioned into "half-spheres" of 5g. My husband, our little son and I were looking forward to cocoa powder, and we got a 200g brick instead. I'm writing this review on 18.5.2026 and I still don't see anywhere in the description that this product comes as a cast chocolate block. I've taken off two stars for the design and form of the product, and in my opinion it's also misleading to customers regarding dosage in this format, and also in Slovakia the word "cacao" or kakao makes us think of a loose powder and a drink made from it, not a chocolate brick with 100% cocoa content.

Diana Lackovičová

Hello eL,

thank you for such a detailed and useful piece of feedback.

We're sorry the block form and the lack of scoring for portioning caused you trouble.

You're right that the product description should state more clearly that this is a compact cocoa block (15–20 g dose, 200 g pack), not a loose powder; we'll pass your suggestion about scoring the portions and describing the format more precisely on to our product development and website content teams.

If you'd like a suggestion for an alternative, write to us at [email protected].

This is seriously powerful and very tasty.

Translated from SK

a luxurious ceremony with this unique cocoa.

Translated from CZ

Hello, is this cocoa alkalised? Thanks for the answer

Diana Lackovičová

Hello Dominik,

No, our World-Class Ceremonial Cacao is not alkalized – it's 100% BIO Chuncho cacao beans from Peru, gently roasted and otherwise unprocessed.

Thanks to that, it keeps its natural theobromine and polyphenol content, which is partly lost during alkalization (so-called Dutch processing).

Kind regards,

The Powerlogy Team

Translated from SK

an extraordinary little cocoa :)

Translated from SK

This is not an ordinary little cocoa :) the taste is amazing, so far tried only in water and a lower concentration of 8 g/100 ml of water, histamine was fine

Translated from SK

The cocoa is really smooth and different from the "standard" version. It's a bit harder to "portion out" since it's a block of mass. But that doesn't change the fact that as a product it's exceptional. I do have to learn how to prepare and serve it properly though. I'm simply missing the ceremony that goes with it.

Translated from CZ

If you're used to quality ceremonial cacao, for example brands like Cacayo love, and expect to get the same goods here for less money, don't be naive like I was :) … This cacao is unfortunately quite below average in quality, all I got was a block covered in a grey layer, the kind you get when you have cheap chocolate or when chocolate has been sitting around for a long time. The texture is soft, like some kind of bubbly chocolate. Taste isn't distinctive at all, maybe slightly sour, but no really interesting notes. So a disappointment for me :(

Diana Lackovičová

Hello Kris,

Thank you for writing to us, and we're sorry your experience with our cacao didn't meet your expectations.

Our ceremonial cacao block is 100% BIO Chuncho cacao beans from Peru, gently roasted with no additives or emulsifiers of any kind (unlike some commercial chocolate products) – the lighter greyish coating on the surface is usually natural cocoa butter bloom and has nothing to do with the product's quality or safety.

Both consistency and taste can vary slightly between batches with pure, lecithin-free cacao, since it's a natural raw material, not standardized chocolate.

If the piece you received seems genuinely different from usual, please get in touch at [email protected] with your order number — we'll be happy to look into it.

Kind regards,

The Powerlogy Team
