Absolutely incredible cacao!
I’m honestly blown away by this cacao. The flavor is so rich, earthy, smooth and deeply chocolatey without tasting overly processed or artificial. You can really taste the quality and craftsmanship that went into it. What makes me love it even more is knowing where my money is going. Soul Lift Cacao works directly with small family farms and Indigenous cacao making communities in Latin America, rather than treating cacao like just another commodity. The Ruk’u’x Ulew cacao I purchased is made by a Maya women’s collective in Guatemala, where the beans are selected by hand, roasted over a wood fire, hand-peeled and minimally processed into cacao paste using traditional methods. 🙏💙 That means I’m not just buying a beautiful cacao, I’m supporting the people and traditions that have been caring for cacao for generations. There’s something really special about knowing the product in my cup has such a direct connection to the land, the culture and the people who made it.... and the taste? WOW 😋. This is nothing like ordinary cocoa powder or heavily processed chocolate. It feels like an entirely different experience.... Rich, grounding, and incredibly satisfying. I’m so happy I chose Soul Lift Cacao, and I’ll absolutely be buying it again. Supporting ethical, transparent sourcing while getting an exceptional product is a win/win in my book. Highly, highly recommend.
Mitla is my favorite cacao. It tastes delicious and is also a grounding and beautiful heart opener. It is also sourced with such integrity.
I saw this company was one of several highly recommended places to buy high quality ceremonial grade cacao and chose to order from them based on the reviews, the companies' mission, and the lab testing to ensure high quality. Since I was new to this, I decided on this one since a lot of people had tried it and really liked it, and I found all of the details provided in the cacao's profile very helpful. There was also lots of informational videos about where it comes from, interviews with the people that grow it, and the relationships this company has with the people very heartwarming. The package arrived very well packed so it would travel well at any time of the year and I ended up making a ceremonial dose (roughly 25 grams) as my first cup and went into meditation. My experience was truly quite amazing and I could feel my pineal gland tingling and I felt a wave of clarity, positivity, love and gratefulness flow through me. Many emotional roadblocks I had been experiencing felt distant and softened which allowed me to focus more clearly on my true intentions. The profile of the cacao is excellent, this one does not have as much of a bitter bite and can be enjoyed without adding anything to it such as sugar, honey or milk and is a great replacement for coffee as it can be very energizing without jitters or crashes. I have since reduced my amount down to roughly 12-15 grams a day and do short meditations each day when enjoying a cup in the morning and it has been one of my favorite things to look forward to in the morning! I would highly recommend this cacao and supporting this company to those looking for a good source. I especially appreciate the relationship you have with the people that make this which I think plays a big role in the quality of this cacao. There are so many companies whose focus is solely on profit and so many of them fail to provide anything that makes a positive difference in people's lives and the world as a whole. I am very appreciative this company is focused on providing good quality and building good relationships with the people they work with, and when combined allows profit and abundance to flow naturally. I am glad I stumbled upon this company and hope this review helps others with their decision on what cacao to invest in!
With Love and Gratitude,

Great customer service fast shipping high-quality best chocolate on the planet
I’ve been ordering this cacao almost monthly because of how strong it is when it helps me with connecting to myself emotionally. I’m pregnant now, but I’ve still been having it in small amounts (think 1 tsp per day) because it’s been helping me with my leg cramps and blood pressure! I always recommend this brand whether it’s for inner journeying or for health related concerns
Have tried a variety of pure Cacao and this one is my favorite. Rich beautiful taste. Great with chai.
This cacao is so smooth, creamy and delectable. I felt tingles of uplifting and grounding and it makes for a sweet ritual for reconnection. Super grateful for all those who make it possible for us to able to enjoy this medicine.
Smooth texture, lovely energy, wonderful taste. Precious really. This might be my new favorite. We are so fortunate our friends from the south choose to share this medicine with us. Thank you Soul Lift for your continued efforts!
I enjoyed the Betena but ordered and was charged for a pound but only received a half pound that was mislabed as a pound. I have corresponded with Maria on your team to resolve this matter.
Thanks for distributing this beautiful medicine. Much needed and high quality! thank you to the ladies who work so hard to grow, harvest, dry, grind, and pack!
There's ceremonial-grade, and then there's Pacala. Quality of this caliber is a gift from nature.
The flavor is intense, concentrated, and the way it evolves on the palate conveys a story, shaped by molecules and spoken through the nervous system.
I searched for a very long time for something that would hit the effing spot. Pacala is the only one that does it for me - and to be frank, it's made me completely uninterested in anything else besides what Soul Lift has to offer.
The rest of the so-called "ceremonial cacao" brands out there feel more like mids than magic, and honestly as Soul Lift has worked hard to offer better pricing over the years, the price gap is now pretty tight while the quality gap remains insane.
At this point, the price to quality ratio of anything from Soul Lift makes it a no-brainer to try - and Pacala continues to soar in a league of its own.
Heart opening cacao made with good intentions. This is an authentic, transparent, loving company and product.
This frother is powerful enough for any of your frothing needs. It is larger than I expected, but comes with a nice hard case to cover it all up and is pretty. The one flaw in my opinion is the power button. It will start at the low speed and on the second press will go to high speed and then on the next press will go off. This sounds ok, but when you are using the low speed in a cup of chocolate and then you are trying to turn it off it will cycle thru the high speed which sometimes can over flow your cup (if you cup is slightly small)! You have to be quick to turn it off!
I ordered Lava Love and Heart of the Earth from Guatemala. I like the Lava Love a lot but I love the Heart of the Earth esp. for its earthy flavor with a hint of berry. It tastes almost like a tiny bit of blueberry--my fave. The shipping on my order was great. Got them both with time to spare for my next ceremony. Soul Lift is really providing a great service to the US Cacao community. Thank you very much Nick for all you do.
I first tried LavaLove two years ago and liked it, but I prefer Heart of the Earth as my ceremonial cacao. On a whim, I recently ordered it again and I’m glad I did. It smells like flowers and has a peaceful, pleasant energy. With a little honey, LavaLove has become my new "dessert" cacao—it’s delicious!
The training course provides so much information from history, to agriculture to community, to processes tip and tricks. I facilitated two Heart Opening Cacao Session his weekend coupled with my usual sound bath. I had experienced attendees who even commented on the quality of the Soul Lift cacao and wish to order their own for home. Thank you!
Started out with Nick’s new business. Ordered the individual packet sampler. They were great. Now, that I’m looking for more healthy benefits, I did some “soul” searching. The cacao remedy fits the bill! Good things condensed into a lovely cup of cozy in the morning. I add my cacao into my mushroom coffee, a 1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup. So yummy! I sent some to a friend and have ordered more. LOVE IT!
This was my first time experiencing ceremonial cacao. The cacao is beautiful and so is the aroma and taste. When I get ready to prepare the cacao I hold it in reference to the process it went through and the people who so lovingly made it. Highly recommend Heart of the earth. The name says it all.
This cacao tastes lovely. I find it to have a nice nuttiness. Supportive energy. Grateful to the hands seen and unseen that bring us this cacao medicine.
I tried this cacao because it was on sale and had good reviews. I like it a lot. It has a mild earthy flavor to me and is good with added mushroom powder or cinnamon. It is good made with plain water or oat milk, but I preferred it with 6 oz or liquid rather than 8 oz. I would definitely buy this again.
The aroma is fantastic, it has tremendous flavor. Amazing
I bought this cacao for a women's circle in my home. Most of the women had never tasted ceremonial cacao, they were blown away by the quality and taste of this sacred medicine. Thank you!
