POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Some journeys aren't measured in miles but in moments.
This is an invitation to slow down to gather around a living story that began deep beneath the rainforest canopy and has travelled through countless hands, hearts and generations to reach ours.
Together we'll explore the remarkable journey of cacao, share a nourishing feast, then as the sun begins to soften, we'll move as one community through the joyful experience of Human🎧Rhythms.
Whether you come alone or with friends, we hope you'll leave feeling a little more connected to yourself, to each other and to the living world around us. by @ixcacaocornwall

Ever notice how a proper cup of ceremonial cacao feels different from normal chocolate or hot cocoa?

That’s because 10g of pure raw Criollo cacao paste is packed with magnesium, iron, theobromine, healthy fats and some of the highest levels of antioxidants found in any food.

This is why it feels so rich and grounding — like your body is receiving exactly what it needed.

Calling cacao a “teacher plant” describes a relationship—not necessarily an ancient tradition.

Many modern cacao ceremonies are contemporary practices rather than direct continuations of historical Indigenous rites.

Not all cacao is created equal.
Most commercial cocoa is made from bulk varieties and heavily processed.

Our Criollo is rare, unroasted, unalkalised, and kept as close to the bean as possible — so you can actually feel the difference.

Swipe to see why it matters. Then come and encounter real cacao at From Pod to Cup to Rhythm, Saturday 22 August at Old Ivy Farm. Open a fresh pod, taste its fruit, prepare ceremonial cacao and share it with us through food, music and movement. 🤎

Have you ever tasted cacao before it becomes chocolate? 🌿

Open a fresh Criollo cacao pod and you’ll discover rows of seeds wrapped in soft, silky white pulp. The fruit is fragrant, juicy and naturally sweet—a wonderful surprise if you only know cacao for its deep, bitter flavour.

Hidden beneath that pulp is the seed we call the cacao bean.

Many Criollo varieties have unusually pale beans and lower levels of some of the compounds associated with bitterness and astringency. With careful fermentation and drying, they can develop a beautifully delicate and aromatic flavour—but every cup begins here, inside the living fruit.

Come and see, touch and taste it for yourself at From Pod to Cup to Rhythm on Saturday 22 August at Old Ivy Farm.

During our hands-on workshop, we’ll open a fresh Peruvian Criollo pod, taste its sweet fruit and follow its journey from seed to ceremonial cacao—before sharing a cup and dancing together. 🤎

Most chocolate is made from bulk cacao.
Criollo is different.
It is rare, aromatic, and full of character.
The trees grow slowly in the shade of the forest, and the beans carry that story into the cup.
At IxCacao we work only with Criollo from the Junín region of Peru — kept pure from pod to paste.
Swipe to learn why it matters.

A cacao circle is an invitation to slow down, share a warm cup and meet one another with presence. There is no right way to arrive—only a willingness to listen, feel and be part of the circle. 🤎

On 22 August at Old Ivy Farm, we’ll gather around cacao and let the journey unfold—from cup to connection, music and movement.

What does “ceremonial-grade cacao” actually mean? 🤎

It isn’t a formal certification. For us, it means whole, carefully sourced cacao paste—made by grinding quality cacao beans while preserving their naturally occurring cocoa butter.

Unlike ordinary cocoa powder, it remains rich, full-bodied and deeply connected to the bean from which it came. Our Peruvian Criollo cacao is prepared slowly and with care, creating a beautiful drink to pause over, share with others and enjoy with intention.

But the best way to understand cacao is not simply to read about it—it is to touch it, taste it and prepare it yourself. 🌿

Come and experience the entire journey at From Pod to Cup to Rhythm on Saturday 22 August at Old Ivy Farm, Leedstown. Open a fresh cacao pod, taste its sweet fruit, learn how to prepare ceremonial cacao—and later share a cup before dancing together.
