Manhattan Beach mornings start on the sand: surfers at El Porto, runners on the Strand, the steady climb up Sand Dune Park. Ceremonial cacao is a calm way to fuel that routine. Alma Cacao is 100% whole cacao from single-origin Peru, a rich cup with a gentler lift than coffee. Shop ceremonial cacao.
Strand mornings, steady energy
Paddle out before work, walk the pier at sunrise, then settle into the day. Cacao's main stimulant, theobromine, rises over an hour or two and lingers, so the energy feels even instead of spiking and dropping. It is a good fit for early risers who want to stay clear through the afternoon.
Before or after the water
Many people like a smaller cup, around 15 grams, an hour before a morning session, and a fuller cup afterward as a slow, warming ritual. Start small and see how it sits with you.

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.
