    100% 'Ahika' Daily Ritual Cacao - Kawakawa + Horopito

    $24.00 AUD

    Ahika | Kawakawa + Horopito

    Ahika is a sacred blend of 100% pure Pacific cacao infused with the fiery medicine of Kawakawa and Horopito — two powerful rongoā of Aotearoa that awaken warmth, courage, and restoration from within.

    Crafted from 100% pure Pacific cacao, Ahika is designed to support your daily ritual with depth, intention, and integrity. Each batch is stone-ground and slow-crafted to preserve the full spectrum of cacao’s natural oils, flavour, and energetic potency.

    Named Ahika — the sacred fire, the fire that keeps home alive — this blend is an invitation to tend to your inner flame.

    Kawakawa, known as a plant of courage and fortitude, has long been used within Te ao Māori to support healing, circulation, digestion, and emotional restoration. Its heart-shaped leaves remind us to move fearlessly in the present, softening into trust while strengthening connection to self and wairua.

    Horopito, one of Aotearoa’s most ancient plants, carries the element of ahi/fire. Growing at the edge of forests for over 65 million years, Horopito is revered for its warming, protective, and stimulating nature. Traditionally known as “the Māori painkiller,” Horopito has been used to support digestion, circulation, respiratory wellbeing, and discomfort in the body. Its fiery peppery nature brings warmth to stagnant spaces — awakening movement, vitality, and renewal.

    Infused with sacred karakia, this cacao carries a grounding yet activating presence — a gentle invitation to return to yourself, your breath, and the rhythm of Papatūānuku. The rich, earthy depth of pure cacao is met with the peppery warmth of kawakawa and the gentle fire of horopito, creating a bold, invigorating cup with an internal warming afterglow — the kind that lingers in the chest, softens the body, and gently stokes the inner fire long after the last sip.

    Perfect for daily drinking, ceremony, cold mornings, or sharing within your whānau and community, Ahika allows you to work with cacao as a living practice — one that steadies the mind, nourishes the body, ignites the inner spark, creates an inner glow and deepens connection to whenua, wairua, and self.

    Our 115gm bar makes 4 cups, Our 500gm round makes a minimum of 20 cups and our 1kg block makes approx 40+ cups.

    This is cacao in its most honest form — warming, bold, deeply restorative, and crafted to keep the inner fire burning.

    Tasting Notes: Earthy • Peppery • Warming • Bold • Lingering Heat

    Please note: Do not ingest if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking blood thinning medication (including Warfarin or Aspirin). Use with caution if taking mental health medications. Some people may be sensitive or allergic to kawakawa or native rongoā plants. Please seek professional advice if unsure or taking medication.

  • 100% Daily Ritual Cacao + Kawakawa

    $24.00 AUD

    Ka kā wā 100% Cacao + Kawakawa

    Mauri Rich Cacao + Kawakawa is a sacred blend of 100% pure Pacific cacao and the healing wisdom of Aotearoa rongoā.

    Crafted from 100% pure Pacific cacao and infused with kawakawa — one of Aotearoa’s most revered native plants — this cacao is designed to support your daily ritual with depth, intention, and integrity. Each batch is stone-ground and slow-crafted to preserve the full spectrum of cacao’s natural oils, flavour, and energetic potency.

    Known as a plant of courage and fortitude, Kawakawa has long held significance within te ao Māori as a protector, healer, and heart medicine. The heart-shaped leaves symbolise strength in times of challenge, inviting us to move fearlessly in the present while softening into trust, release, and restoration. Traditionally used to support digestion, circulation, inflammation, and overall well being, Kawakawa offers both grounding and gentle activation — holding the paradox of being both a stimulant and a relaxant.

    Infused with sacred karakia, this cacao carries a grounding presence — a gentle invitation to return to yourself, to your breath, and to the rhythm of Papatūānuku. The deep, earthy richness of pure cacao meets the peppery warmth of Kawakawa, creating a bold and nourishing cup that steadies the mind, supports the body, and opens the heart.

    Perfect for daily drinking, ceremony, or sharing within your whānau and community, this blend allows you to work with cacao as a living practice — one that nourishes the body, steadies the nervous system, and strengthens connection to self, whenua, and wairua.

    Our 115gm bar makes a minimum of 4 cups, our 500gm round makes a minimum of 20 cups, and our 1kg block makes approximately 40+ cups.

    This is cacao in its most honest form — strong, simple, deeply supportive, and rooted in the wisdom of the whenua.

    Our Kawakawa is hand harvested using tikanga from the Otago Peninsula and Banks Peninsula.

    Please note: Kawakawa is a natural blood thinner and stimulant. Use with care if taking Warfarin, Aspirin, or some mental health medications. Not recommended during pregnancy. Some people may be allergic to kawakawa. Please seek professional advice if unsure, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.

First day of my cycle today and your beautiful chocolate came to my rescue. Because it contains so much wholesome goodness and its so 'Clean', it totally hit the spot on every level, well done!

I'd been holding on to this for sooo long, waiting for the "perfect moment" to come so I could make it and just sit, chill and receive... But when you are a Māma, you just have to do those little things for yourself when you can. It's still a "perfect moment" it just looks a little different.

I had been drinking coffee since I was about 13 years old. As an adult I have been relying on those little boosts that you get from coffee through the day, but I’ve needed several boosts a day once the last one had worn off. A couple of months ago I went cold turkey and replaced coffee with one cup of Ka kā wā in the morning. That’s it! I didn’t have any withdrawals and have not missed coffee at all. I don’t have those highs and lows throughout the day anymore.
