Delicious

The Mexican cacao is delicious. So smooth and creamy. I used to drink hot chocolate as my comfort drink. No more. The Mexican cacao is too good to even compare with hot chocolate. 😋

I love this cacao and when I taste anything else, it simply doesn't compare. The quality of Soma cacao is second to none, love it!

My favourite afternoon pick me up

I drink soma cacao for its wonderful boost effects, which I find more grounded than coffee, while still being creatively locked in and driven.

If I didn’t enjoy the flavour of coffee so much I would be happy living just with soma cacao. Highly recommended.

Bliss in a cup

I have been enjoying Soma Cacao for a good 18 months or more.
Soma have requested a few times, Would I like to review ? And I have always hesitated because of lack of words to describe how Amazing or Euphoric it really is.
Its Almost a hug in a cup, I am completely addicted, I have tried other Cacaos but this is my favourite.

Mexican Ceremonial Cacao

Richly delicious and I enjoy it unsweetened. As I move away from coffee, this cacao gives me the boost I need in the morning. I’ll definitely be buying the bigger bag and before the taster runs out!

Nothing special

Nothing special sums it up really. No better than coffee regarding taste, effect, or enjoyment. It’s just like drinking bitter hot chocolate.
The ancient Mexicans clearly didn’t have much else to drink. Pretty boring.

Hi Lincoln,

It's Rose here, the founder of Soma Cacao.

I appreciate your time in sharing your thoughts with us and our prospective customers.

I just wanted to make sure you're aware of the following points as your review suggests some confusion/lack of information:

A) cacao is the main ingredient in chocolate. So naturally it is not dissimilar to a hot chocolate - that's kinda the point 🙂. It's just missing all the unhealthy additives, and because it's minimally processed, maintains the highest concentration of antioxidants (by the way - bitterness is a sign of high antioxidants) and essential minerals. And you, as the consumer, (similar to every coffee consumer), has the power to master the preparation according to your unique tastes and preferences. So if you want it less bitter - add a little more milk or sweetener. A pinch of salt is also a great trick for this (ask any good chef!).

B). We have the Mayans to thank for the multi-billion dollar chocolate industry, not sure if you're familiar of the history of the Spanish conquistadores in Mexico. So I think they were in fact onto something... rather than simply having nothing better to drink.

C). Cacao is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. The is a stark contrast to coffee, which is virtually nutrient free.

D). This particular product is the most highly awarded of any cacao we've come across - think top shelf fine wine. But like fine wine I realise not everyone will appreciate it (not everyone is a wine connoisseur - I'm certainly not!).

E) The effect and enjoyment... well not sure if you were expecting green fairies and rainbows or what 🙂. But of course this is dependent on so many factors. Your sensitivity to stimulants, your diet, your interoseptive awareness, the amount of sleep, exercise or food you've had on any particular day.

In general, as is evident from our reviews across our website, Google and Facebook, it's a dearly loved product, and I hate to think of a bag going to waste. So perhaps you can give it another crack with an open mind, given the above, or you can try it out in one of the many recipes for treats and healthy snacks on the website.

Alternately, I have sent you an email if you'd like to return the product to us instead.

Thanks for your time and consideration,

Rose
