DIRTEA Cacao

Our customers love DIRTEA Cacao for its rich, chocolatey taste and calming, focus-enhancing properties. Despite its delicious flavour, it's healthy and clean and comes with the additional benefits of Lion's Mane, Tremella and Reishi together with MCT and Moringa.

DIRTEA Cacao releases anandamide, also known as the bliss molecule. Anandamide is a neurotransmitter that binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body, stimulating a sense of happiness and mental wellness. This effect is enhanced by the added Lion's Mane and Reishi. Cacao is also a good source of magnesium, an essential mineral that regulates neurotransmitters such as serotonin and can support a sense of calmness. Together with raw cacao, these ingredients promote a sense of calm and relaxation, making it ideal for evening consumption to support better sleep.

DIRTEA Cacao is made from raw cacao, providing a deep, rich flavour without the added sugars and artificial ingredients found in many traditional hot chocolates. The inclusion of functional mushrooms like Lion's Mane, Tremella, and Reishi provides additional health benefits for the mind and body.

Cacao is also rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which can assist a healthy immune response. (1) The added Reishi and the B6 from the B Vitamin complex, contribute to the normal function of the immune system

DIRTEA Cacao balances subtly sweet tones with a light bitterness from the raw cacao.

Our Super Blends have been formulated to offer you a powerful mixture of DIRTEA Mushrooms in your favourite drinks so that you can easily enjoy a range of benefits in the flavours you love. Our mushrooms work synergistically together so combining them maximises their benefits. 

Functional mushrooms are types of fungi that are known for their health benefits beyond their nutritional compositions. The exact benefits differ depending on the mushroom. We use 3 different functional mushrooms within our Super Blends - Lion's Mane, Reishi and Tremella.

DIRTEA Chai is made with 6 Indian spices which balance together warm, aromatic flavours with sweet notes of cinnamon. Our DIRTEA Coffee is made from premium 100% Arabica beans and Lion’s Mane creating a rich, nutty flavour. Our Cacao is made with raw cacao for a deep, rich flavoured healthy hot chocolate, and our Matcha is made with 100% ceremonial-grade Japanese Matcha for a balanced, smooth velvety flavour.

There is plenty of evidence to support the benefits that functional mushrooms can offer children, but it’s worth noting there is no definitive research on the topic. Meanwhile, there is also no indication that they pose any danger to children.

We recommend it not be given to children under 10 years of age. At this early stage, children’s bodily systems are still developing and adapting to their environment.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s always a good idea to consult your child’s paediatrician before introducing any supplements into their diet particularly if they’re on medication.
