Playa Vista packs a lot into a few square miles: tech campuses, long desk days and some of the best green space on the Westside. Ceremonial cacao suits that mix. Alma Cacao is 100% whole cacao from single-origin Peru, made next door in Marina del Rey, and it gives you a slower, steadier lift than coffee, the kind that suits a long afternoon. Shop ceremonial cacao.
Park mornings, Silicon Beach afternoons
Start with a loop through Playa Vista Central Park or the trail along the Ballona Freshwater Marsh, grab your laptop, pass The Runway on the way in, and let the day stretch out from there. A cup of ceremonial cacao keeps pace without the spike. Its main stimulant, theobromine, is a gentler cousin of caffeine that builds over an hour or two and eases off slowly.
Made for the desk
Keep a bag at work. Shave 15 to 20 grams into a mug, add hot (not boiling) water or oat milk, and whisk or froth until glossy. Two minutes, no machine. Teams and office pantries can order through wholesale.

What makes it ceremonial
One ingredient: whole cacao from Peru, from native heirloom and criollo varieties, fermented the traditional way and ground with its cacao butter intact. Nothing added, nothing pressed out, and it is 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.
