Yacon-sweetened. Prebiotic. Non-glycemic. Full adaptogen stack.
Explore Sugar-Free Bars →Most chocolate is built around sweetness. Mandala starts somewhere different — Maya Mountain, Belize cacao with real complexity: bitterness, earthiness, warmth.
We stone-grind for 6 days. 72 hours with the cacao alone, then 72 more with the botanicals. Slow grinding at low heat preserves alkaloids, flavanols, and lipid-bound compounds.
Herbs come from our 67-acre forest farm and Appalachian wild harvest: wood betony, spiceberries, chaga, hemlock reishi.

USDA Organic · Fair Trade · B Corp. 1lb · 16 × 1oz Disks · Single-Origin Maya Mountain, Belize This is cacao before anything was added or taken away. The 6-day stone grind matters. Seventy-two hours on the cacao alone, then 72 more. Slow and low-heat, because the alkaloids, flavanols, and lipid-bound compounds in real cacao don't survive industrial processing. To prepare: Heat liquid to 150–170°F · Blend one disk with 8–12oz for 30–60 seconds · Drink immediately. USDA Organic · Fair Trade · B Corp Certified · Non-GMO Project Verified
