Sacred Roots Warming Cacao

A warming drink harnessing the goodness of mushrooms and cacao

Vast networks of mycelium are hidden beneath our feet, which support around 95% of our plants and trees by transporting water and nutrients, breaking down matter that enables the recycling of vital nutrients to replenish the earth and support new growth. 

Mushrooms are mind blowing on many levels and it's no secret that they’re absolute powerhouses when it comes to their natural health-giving properties. Traditionally used for centuries across many global cultures, fungi are celebrated for their incredible healing powers, nutritional potency and warm earthy taste. We’re longtime fungi lovers here at Sweet Bee Organics, in fact it’s a superfood close to our founder’s heart.

Sacred Roots blends the healing powers of reishi and chaga mushrooms, and organic herbs with the nutritional goodness of cacao to create a delicious drinking chocolate that nourishes body and mind. A powerhouse of natural minerals, antioxidants and wild medicine, it’s something of a super fuel for humans. 

Cacao is the perfect partner to the deep, earthy flavour of mushrooms. Packed with flavonoids, it has been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to your brain and heart, and help prevent blood clots. The antioxidants in cacao may also affect how your body responds to insulin, which can lower your risk of diabetes.

Reishi mushrooms contain hundreds of biologically active molecules which are known to support the wellbeing and longevity of the cardiovascular system and brain. A powerful anti-inflammatory, they alleviate the symptoms of stress and allergies, support hormonal balance and promote healthy sleep. Chaga Mushrooms have been used for hundreds of years to alleviate digestive issues, manage blood sugars, lower high cholesterol, and promote healthier hair and skin.

Bringing flavour and goodness in equal measure are also: maca root powder, traditionally used to balance hormones, enhance libido, boost fertility, and increase energy; cinnamon, said to be anti-inflammatory; cardamon, to promote good digestive health, reduce high blood pressure and help the body detox; pink Himalayan salt containing vital minerals and said to help the body detox; and coconut sugar, a natural sweetener with a lower GI than sugar.

Sacred Roots makes the perfect cocoa substitute, so works well in chocolate cake, mixed with coconut milk for a decadent rice pudding, in energy balls, biscuits or in raw chocolate goodies for healthy and hearty snacks.
