Virgin vs Serendipity vs Buttons, here’s how they compare

We often get asked:

“What’s the difference between your ceremonial cacao options?”

So if you’ve landed here wondering which ceremonial cacao is right for you, this guide will help.

Whether you're just beginning your cacao journey or deep in your ritual practice, here’s how our three ceremonial cacao options compare: Virgin Ceremonial Cacao, Serendipity Ceremonial Cacao, and Ceremonial Cacao Buttons.

Can I mix them?

While most people will usually drink a single type of ceremonial cacao at a time, there's nothing to stop you creating your own blends. Our customers regularly blend Virgin and Serendipity to combine the depth of Virgin with Serendipity’s lighter touch.
