Cocoa Laboratory
Latina-owned & Indigenous-owned
Ceremonial Cacao is genetically different than 99% of commercially available Cacao. Beyond genetics, the intention of using this Cacao in ritual and ceremony radically changes the way Cacao is handled from the time of harvest, all the way into your cup.
Ceremonial Cacao is made from heirloom strains of Cacao seeds from Central and South America. Unlike conventional Cacao or cocoa powder, Ceremonial Cacao has not been defatted and is minimally processed to maximize its health benefits. The Cacao trees are grown and harvested sustainably, employing regenerative agricultural practices. Above all, the people involved in bringing this Cacao to you are properly compensated and tend lovingly to their work.
A Cacao ceremony is a community gathering centered around the ancestral drink of Cacao. We drink Cacao to meditate and to express gratitude for all that we have and all that we are.

Vegan
Planet-friendly packaging
Handcrafted plant-based protein & superfood mixes
Growing up, I witnessed many family members struggle with diabetes, including my father, whom I lost to the disease. Conscious of ingredients and a smoothie fanatic, I struggled to find a clean source of protein to add to my breakfast. The available products had added sugar or were overwhelmingly filled with unnecessary ingredients.
I set off to create my own, and after months of experimentation, Plantnrgy was born, featuring a line of plant-based protein and superfood mixes that help develop a strong immune system, healthy muscles and boosts everyday energy.
Eat mindfully. Stay healthy.
Love,
Sumita

The Qi
Asian-owned
After discovering eastern wellness was too difficult to access, low quality, or complex, Lisa founded The Qi to share the power of eastern wellness rituals in today's pace of modern living. Lisa's one-of-a-kind whole flower teas are about taking a moment to connect with yourself and someone else in real life. A moment to rest, reset and nourish from the inside out.
