I love love this cacao! Love how my energy and focus is after I drink it too

Grounding delicious and nourishing. Heavy metal tested is a relief.

Amazing product and phenomenal delivery.If you aren't ordering from this company you are clueless

Love this flavor.

Arrived as a solid melted brick. Found out I can't return it. Opened customer service conversation based on Amazon policy. Reply from ORA: "So sorry it melted, ...we don't offer refunds, ...it still contains the nutrients... just chop it up". I pushed back, requesting a refund, they refused and closed the inquiry. Thank goodness Amazon stands behind their business model, as they issued a full refund on behalf of the business. This experience has been like ordering an awesomely promoted meal at a restaurant, paying $60+ for it, then arriving in a glass all blended up! Politely requesting a refund/replacement and then being told: Oh, your meal “still contains the nutrients intact for the purpose of it's drinking.” The company clearly does not stand behind its product, and relies on Amazon to bail them out. Won’t be going back…..

This Ceremonial Cacao comes beautifully packaged. The product itself comes in small disks that melt easily in the hot water. It was very bitter, but the cacao flavor itself was pretty good. The next time we drank this, we added a pinch of salt to it as that counteracts the bitterness. You still get the benefits that come from bitters in the diet, but the flavor is more pleasing. We did sweeten it with a bit of maple syrup, as well. What I do LOVE about this brand is that they carefully test for heavy metals and they list the theobromine content, as well as the caffeine content. They also list the amount of other important minerals such as magnesium. It is easy to know the vital nutrition and feel at ease that the product is not contaminated. The reason for the four stars instead of five stars is that the cacao leaves a rather acrid after-taste that leaves our mouths feeling dry and puckery--kind of like when you eat a banana that is far from ripe.

I appreciated they sent it with some insulation and a cold pack. A bit wasteful but it would've been liquified if they had mailed without the extra precautions.

Easy to make delicious cacao. Helpful instructions included.
