Our coconut milk comes from organic, sustainably grown coconuts harvested on farms in Vietnam that prioritize fair wages, environmentally responsible practices, and inclusive hiring. Our coconut milk powder is uniquely crafted without gums, casein, or fillers — just simple, allergen-friendly coconut milk powder that’s organic, kosher, and free from gluten, GMOs, and sulfites.

Coconut milk naturally contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), lauric acid, potassium, and small amounts of minerals like manganese. Research has explored how certain fatty acids found in coconut may support the body’s natural immune and microbial processes (Healthline, 2019). Potassium is also recognized as an essential electrolyte involved in fluid balance and muscle function, and coconut milk contains naturally occurring amounts depending on serving size (Medical News Today, 2017).

Together, our clean, minimally processed coconut milk creates the creamy, dairy-free richness in our hot cocoa while aligning with our commitment to simple ingredients, sustainable sourcing, and better-for-you comfort.

Our organic, unrefined coconut sugar is made from the gently evaporated sap of coconut flower buds on organic farms in Indonesia. Because coconut sugar is minimally processed, it keeps its naturally caramel-like flavor and can retain small amounts of vitamins C and E, minerals such as zinc, iron, potassium, and phosphorus, and plant compounds like antioxidants, flavonoids, anthocyanidins, polyphenols, and inulin (NIH, 2023; NIH, 2019).

Coconut sugar is also naturally vegan, allergen friendly, and free from gluten, GMOs, sulfites, and refined sugars. Published values place its glycemic index around 35 — lower than many conventional table sugars (Saraiva et al., 2023). Researchers also note coconut palms’ environmental advantages: as long-lived tree crops, they contribute to soil health and require notably fewer resources compared to many traditional sweeteners (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, 2014).

All together, this warm, naturally sweet ingredient aligns with our better-for-you and better-for-the-planet values, adding gentle sweetness to our hot cocoa without the intensity of refined sugar.

Our cacao comes from organic, single-origin Arriba (Nacional) beans grown on sustainable, family-run farms in Ecuador. These farms prioritize biodiversity, fair wages, and eco-friendly cultivation practices that align with our mission to reimagine better-for-you comfort foods. Our cacao also undergoes quality and safety reviews, including heavy-metal screening, as part of our commitment to clean, carefully sourced ingredients.

Minimally processed to preserve its bold, naturally chocolatey flavor and naturally occurring plant compounds like polyphenols and flavonoids — compounds widely studied for their antioxidant activity and their potential role in supporting how the body responds to everyday stressors (American Chemical Society, 2012).

Some research has explored how these naturally occurring compounds may influence the body’s stress response — including studies examining cacao and markers such as cortisol within the context of overall well-being (Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014). Additional studies highlight how cacao’s polyphenols may support the body’s natural inflammatory response (American Chemical Society, 2014).

What’s the difference between cacao and cocoa?
Cacao refers to minimally processed beans or powders that retain more of their natural flavor and aromatic compounds, while cocoa typically undergoes higher-heat processing that results in a smoother, milder taste. We use cacao because it preserves the bold, naturally chocolatey character of the Arriba bean.

Our vanilla begins on organic farms in Madagascar, where sustainable growing practices support soil health, biodiversity, and fair wages for the farmers who hand-cultivate each bean. We use only 100% organic ground vanilla beans — never flavorings — and they’re always free from alcohol, added sugar, dyes, preservatives, and fillers. This purity allows natural compounds like vanillin to shine, and vanillin has been shown to exhibit antioxidant activity in scientific studies (Kim et al. NIH, 2018).

Vanilla’s warm aroma is traditionally appreciated for its soothing, comforting qualities, a connection supported in early scent-related research (WUR Sensory Science Group, 2012). All of this comes together in our hot cocoa: sustainably grown, aromatic vanilla that enhances the chocolatey richness of every sip and brings a cozy, better-for-you indulgence to your day.

Our raw, kosher Himalayan pink salt comes from ancient mineral deposits in Pakistan, where it is harvested and minimally processed to preserve its natural purity. Free from dyes, iodine, anti-caking agents, and added sugars, this unrefined salt reflects our commitment to simple, clean ingredients sourced responsibly and with care for local communities.

Himalayan salt is primarily composed of sodium chloride and contains naturally occurring trace minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron (Blumfield et al., 2020). The salt’s characteristic color is generally attributed to naturally occurring iron oxide within the deposits (Healthline, 2023).

Used in small amounts, our Himalayan salt enhances the chocolatey richness of our hot cocoa, bringing depth and balance — all without additives or unnecessary processing.

Our peppermint essential oil powder comes from pure, steam-distilled oil of the Mentha piperita plant — no flavorings or artificial "mint" additives. Certified organic, kosher, Non-GMO, and free from added sugar, it’s a clean, allergen-friendly essential oil powder without preservatives, colors, or fillers. This process preserves peppermint’s naturally refreshing aroma while also allowing the oils to contribute to the rich body and thickness of our peppermint hot cocoa.

Peppermint’s signature cooling sensation comes from the plant's menthol, a naturally occurring compound widely studied for how it stimulates cold-sensing receptors and shapes our perception of freshness and soothing coolness (Bautista et al., 2007). Research has also explored how peppermint’s aroma may influence sensory experience, alertness, and overall perception of clarity and comfort (Moss et al., 2008).

Altogether, this pure, thoughtfully sourced essential oil powder brings a bright, clean peppermint flavor to our hot chocolate — delivering a naturally refreshing seasonal twist without artificial flavorings or added sugars.

Our pumpkin spice blend is made from real, organic spices — cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves — never "flavorings". Each spice is sun-dried, ground, and blended to preserve its natural aroma, phytochemicals, and character, creating a warm, sweet-spiced profile that feels like autumn in every sip (Rao & Gan, 2014; Mao et al., 2019; Jirovetz et al., 2006). And yes — despite the name, pumpkin spice blends rarely actually contain pumpkin… just the cozy spices we all think of as “fall in a cup.”

Certified organic, gluten free, Non-GMO, kosher, and vegan, this simple blend contains no fillers, dyes, or added sugars. Each spice blend is also tested for quality and safety, including heavy-metal screening, reflecting our commitment to clean, carefully sourced ingredients. Its golden-brown color, naturally woody sweetness, and comforting aroma come entirely from the spices themselves, bringing flavor the way nature intended.

Stirred into our hot cocoa, this seasonal blend adds depth, warmth, and a gently spiced finish — all from real organic spices, never pumpkin spice “flavoring.”
