Why do we do Group Work with Cacao?

Group energy in presence is dynamic. It allows us a beautiful and spacious container in which many things can arise and be held old wounds and troubles but also greater awareness and new ways forward. That's what Saoró wishes to support in our collaborations, opening spaces in community with others and Mama Cacao in order to support healing and the birthing of a new world.

The people have spoken

Cacao Reviews

“My favourite cacao is Spirit of Borneo, but I love each and every one of their amazing cacaos. Cacao, this beautiful medicine, and spirit helped me become my true self, helped me reclaim the person I wanted to be but wasn’t allowed to be. Mama cacao helped me to embrace every facets of myself and love who I am and who I’m becoming. I prepare my cacao with first of all, intentions. And gratitude. Recipes may varies, but the intentions and love and gratitude are always present. Drinking this beautiful medicine is special, but for me, the preparing it, the making it is even more important.”

“Saoró cacao is pure luxury. The entire experience feels like a self-care ritual, from the moment you open the gold packaging until you are sitting down with a cup in your hands. Saoró partners with Balinese chocolatiers, and you can really taste the craftsmanship. As a self-aware chocolate addict, their cacao completely satisfies that craving and some! It gives me a boost of energy and helps uplift my mood. I’ve tried all their blends, but Borneo is hands-down my favourite—it’s the smoothest and most comforting in my opinion. I like to make mine with almond milk, cinnamon, and honey. It’s the perfect coffee replacement and a daily treat I genuinely look forward to.”

“I have had so much fun experimenting with all of the beautiful varieties in the Saoro range, my favourites at the moment are borneo and wildchild. Ohh I cannot leave out the Sumatra Tiger also….its just too hard to choose as all are just so beautiful. I make mine with half water, half almond milk with a pinch of turmeric and sprinkle of cinnamon with a dash of honey” - Sinead King “I think Saoro Cacao is beautiful as it is :-) no honey or coconut milk needed. Let the natural beauty of the drink to come out”
