What customers have told us

The best cacao I’ve ever tried!

I’ve been to many places in South America and have tried really good ones, but Unified is the perfect blend between quality and the modern fuel for creators. Absolutely love it!!!

Tastes so good & really easy to make

I even take mine to the office and just stir it into hot milk. I love it as an alternative to coffee…

I always preferred coffee, but...

the ceremonial cacao experience with unified cacao changed that completely. The taste is unlike any cacao I have ever had before. It feels warm and comforting, like coming home to myself. I love it ♥️

Common questions

Ritualise has 0.3g of sugar a cup, none added, and almost half of each cup is cacao butter, so it tastes closer to very dark chocolate than a hot chocolate sachet. Flow is sweeter, with 4.1g of sugar a cup from coconut sugar.

Very little, and it all comes from the cacao. We don't add any. Cacao also naturally contains theobromine. For the numbers, see cacao vs coffee.

Put 15g in a mug, add a splash of hot water and whisk it to a paste, then top up with about 200ml of hot water or warm plant milk and whisk again. About sixty seconds.

A 250g bag makes 16 cups. At one cup a day that's about 16 days, and it works out at £1.75 a cup, or £1.40 on subscription.

If you take your coffee black, start with Ritualise. If you take sugar in everything, start with Flow. Not sure? The Welcome Pack has a cup of each and a whisk for £7.

I started Unified Cacao after a cup of ceremonial cacao in Bali in 2019. I blend and pack every bag myself in the UK, from single-origin cacao grown by co-operative farms in Peru. If your pouch isn't right, email me and I'll sort it.
