Silver Lake has always done mornings its own way: a lap around the reservoir, a climb up one of the hillside stairways, coffee that takes itself seriously. Ceremonial cacao is the quieter option. Alma Cacao is 100% whole cacao from single-origin Peru that melts into a deep, chocolatey cup with a gentle, lasting lift. Shop ceremonial cacao.
Reservoir walks and slow mornings
Walk the path around the Silver Lake Reservoir, stretch out on the Meadow, then head down to Sunset Junction as the neighborhood wakes up. A cup of cacao belongs to that slower start. Its main compound, theobromine, is a milder relative of caffeine that builds gradually and eases off gradually, so you get focus without the rattle.
What it tastes like
Deep, nutty and chocolatey, with a little bitterness and no sugar. Most people add a pinch of salt and cinnamon, a spoon of honey or maple, or blend it with oat milk into a latte. Because the cacao butter is still in it, the cup comes out thick and velvety.

What makes it ceremonial
Alma Cacao is 100% whole cacao paste: single-origin Peruvian beans, traditionally fermented and stone ground with the cacao butter left in. 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.
