Daintree Organic Ceremonial Cacao
Grown in one of the most breathtaking corners of the world, Soma’s Organic Daintree Cacao is a true gift from nature. Sourced from the lush, fertile lands of Far North Queensland, this premium, certified organic cacao grows between two World Heritage-listed natural wonders — the ancient Daintree Rainforest on one side, and the vibrant Great Barrier Reef on the other.
This cacao is not only rich in flavour but deeply respectful of the land it comes from. The growers use regenerative, chemical-free farming methods that honour the delicate ecosystems surrounding them. Fertilisers are made entirely from on-farm inputs — leaves, prunings, and cacao pods — while fermented cacao pod juice, a by-product of harvesting, is repurposed as a natural weed suppressant. Even the region’s green ants play their part, acting as nature’s pest controllers by keeping beetles, termites, and moths in check.
The result is a cacao that’s as clean and sustainable as it is delicious.
Expect a flavour that’s earthy and smooth, with a hint of the wildness that surrounds it — rich, grounding, and subtly bright. This cacao is perfect for daily rituals, creative focus, or simply reconnecting with the natural world in your cup.

What's the difference between Cacao Powder and Ceremonial Cacao?
Cacao powder (or cocoa powder) has undergone intensive processing to extract cacao butter from the paste. This leaves the cacao chalkier and more insipid, and also reduces the fat content, which is vital for the transmission of the neuro-active substances. Studies have proven the widely used method to produce cocoa powder (dutch-processing) significantly decreases the levels of compounds with positive physiological effects.
Soma Cacao's cacao contains the entire cacao bean (excluding the husk/shell). They add nothing, they take nothing away, maintaining the highest concentration of antioxidants, essential minerals, and bliss-inducing compounds.
