Ancestral Cacao Essentials Bundle
Taxes included. Free NZ shipping over $150.
Crafted for intentional daily ritual, this ceremonial cacao bundle pairs Seleno Health's two signature single-origin Peruvian pastes with an authentic hand-carved molinillo whisk. Sourced through direct-trade partnerships with indigenous farming families in Peru and traditional artisans in Mexico, each element honours ancient preparation methods while offering everyday convenience.
What is Included
-
Organic Amaru Ceremonial Cacao Paste Drops (250g Tube): Made from raw, un-tempered Criollo cacao grown by our farmer and his family in Peru. Amaru (representing the snake archetype) features an uplifting flavour profile with sweet, fruity, and gently acidic notes. With an impressive naturally occurring theobromine-to-caffeine ratio of 29:1, it provides sustained, heart-centred vitality without jitters or an afternoon slump. Moulded into convenient 4g to 5g disc drops, it eliminates the need for chopping or shaving solid blocks.
-
Organic Uturunku Ceremonial Cacao Paste Drops (250g Tube): Crafted from rare ancestral cacao tended by artisan farmers in Peru. Uturunku (the jaguar archetype) connects to the traditions of the Chavín de Huántar temple and provides a grounding, introspective experience ideal for meditation, journaling, and stillness. Stone-ground and unrefined with no added sugars or fillers, it delivers deep, complex earthy and nutty flavours rounded out by dark fruit undertones.
-
Traditional Mexican Molinillo Cacao Whisk (15cm): Hand-turned from a single piece of natural wood by our master crafter and his family in Mexico, carrying forward five generations of artisanal knowledge. Sized specifically for single-serve preparation (one cup or small bowl), this heat-resistant, unpainted tool features specialized grooved rings that effortlessly emulsify the cacao butter into a velvety, frothy drink while infusing presence into your preparation ritual.
Why You Will Love It
-
Pure Ancestral Quality: 100% certified organic, pure whole-bean cacao paste that preserves the natural fats, bioactive minerals, and mood-supporting compounds. Free from alkalisation (Dutch processing), sweeteners, emulsifiers, or preservatives.
-
Duality of Energy: Alternate between the bright, heart-opening momentum of Amaru and the deep, grounding stillness of Uturunku depending on what your day calls for.
-
Effortless Dosing: Pre-measured wafer drops dissolve smoothly in warm liquid, saving time and keeping your preparation clean and precise.
-
Authentic Emulsification: The traditional molinillo whips the natural cacao butter into a luxurious, thick froth using nothing more than the friction between your palms.
Suggested Ritual Preparation
-
Heat 200ml to 250ml of spring water or your favourite plant-based milk until hot but not boiling (ideally around 70°C to preserve bioactives).
-
Add 20g to 25g of cacao drops (approximately 4 to 5 drops for a daily cup, or 6 to 8 drops for deeper ceremony) into your mug or small jug.
-
Place the head of the 15cm molinillo at the bottom of the vessel, hold the handle between the palms of your hands, and rub them back and forth rapidly to spin the whisk.
-
Continue whisking until the cacao has fully melted and a thick, creamy foam rises to the top. Sip mindfully.
