Developed by founders Alyna and Elliot Rivera over a year of kitchen testing, the blend combines ethically sourced organic cacao with MCT coconut oil, cardamom, rose, vanilla, sea salt, and sunflower lecithin. The product is designed to be vegan, sugar-free, and gluten-free, catering to consumers who find standard cacao products harsh on the stomach. A box of six 35-gram servings retails for $65 through the company’s website.
Naked Earth Debuts Ceremonial Cacao as a Coffee Alternative
For coffee drinkers seeking sustained focus without the familiar caffeine-induced jitters, a new ritual-focused beverage has arrived. St. Petersburg-based wellness startup Naked Earth launched its single-serve ceremonial-grade cacao packets today, aiming to capture the growing market for functional drinks that prioritize steady energy over sudden spikes.
The launch coincides with rising consumer interest in the cognitive benefits of cocoa polyphenols. A randomized trial published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology suggests that consistent consumption of these compounds can improve reported levels of calmness and contentment. Beyond the ingredients, the brand emphasizes its supply chain, utilizing direct trade relationships with small-scale farms across Central America and Africa and employing industrially biodegradable packaging. The company also pledges $1 from every sale to support Ana Iris and the Boruca community in Costa Rica, a partnership established following a 2025 panel discussion.
