Culver City runs on long creative days: edit bays, writers' rooms, design studios and a lot of coffee. Ceremonial cacao is a calmer way through them. Alma Cacao is 100% whole cacao from single-origin Peru, made by your neighbors in Marina del Rey, and it melts into a rich, steady cup that many people drink in place of the second or third coffee of the day. Shop ceremonial cacao.
From the stairs to the studio
Some of the best Culver City mornings start at the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, climbing the stairs as the basin and the ocean come into view, or rolling down the Ballona Creek bike path toward the beach. Then comes the long stretch of the workday, and that is where cacao earns its place. Theobromine, its main stimulant, arrives slowly and fades slowly, so afternoons tend to feel level rather than spiky. If you are sensitive to stimulants, enjoy your cup before early afternoon.
An easy office ritual
No machine, no pods. Shave 15 to 20 grams into a mug, add hot (not boiling) water or milk, and whisk or froth for about 20 seconds. For a whole team, ask us about wholesale.

What makes it ceremonial
It is the whole bean and nothing else: single-origin Peruvian cacao, traditionally fermented, stone ground with its natural cacao butter and broken into pieces that melt into hot water or milk. No sugar, no fillers, and lab tested for heavy metals. The co-op we source from gives 2% back to the producer communities who grow it, and we donate another 2% of every sale to For the Love of Mateo.
