Single Serve Cacao Packets
One-ounce packets, pre-weighed at roughly a cup each, so there is nothing to measure and nothing to carry beyond the sachet.
What they are for
Travelling, where a block and a scale are not practical. Retreats and circles, where every person gets their own portion without anyone weighing out at the table. And trying several blends before committing to a full bag of any one of them, which is the reason most first orders include a box.
Making one
Empty a packet into hot but not boiling water and whisk until smooth. That is the whole method, and it is the same whether the packet is pure cacao or one of the blends.
What is inside a box
Packets cover the pure ground cacao and the flavoured blends, so a single box can carry several different cups. The cacao itself is the same single-origin Chuncho from southern Peru that fills the full-size bags, portioned rather than changed.
Once you know which one you return to, the full bags are in ground cacao and blends.

Ground Cacao & Cacao Paste (Full-Fat) Ceremonial cacao has traditionally been prepared as cacao paste—whole beans ground with their natural cacao butter intact. At Pacha Mana, we honor this tradition by never defatting our cacao, preserving the full character, richness, and quality that ceremonial cacao is meant to offer.
