Ascend Cacao

Ascend Ceremonial Cacao is truly the most beautiful and delicious cacao I’ve experienced. Smooth, rich, and naturally sweet, it melts into a velvety cup that feels both grounding and heart-opening. You can truly feel the love and intention Jack and Tay put into every batch. Perfect for ceremony or a simple daily ritual.

My love affair with Ascend (and founders Jack and Tay) started with their Mushroom Matcha. So smooth and yummy and many of my friends agree and have become customers. About two months ago I got serious about their Cacao Mushroom blend and became totally hooked on that too! Taste, texture, sensations… all around perfection. So good I sometimes feel like I’m cheating on the Matcha! 😉

We’ve been drinking ceremonial grade cacao since 2012 and have tried a lot of different strains and blends. Ascend is by far the best. Perfectly sweet, creamy, the addition of mushrooms is the icing on the cake. We’ve been ordering both the Ascend cacao and matcha on repeat for a couple of years now and highly recommend it!

This cacao not only tastes delicious but it is truly heart opening. Each time I work with it in my rituals I can feel its energy aligning with mine. I feel incredibly lucky to have found this product sourced by individuals who are really walking the path and keeping the nature of these medicines in their complete/natural state. Thank you thank you.

I am not a fan of the coca nut sugar, if I'm being honest. I prefer unsweetened and using raw honey..

Shipping was super quick. Handwritten note was a nice touch too! I love the metal tin and the cacao is delicious and high quality. I recently quit coffee and this was my transitional treat to myself. It’s not overly sweet, and I was happy to find a company that uses coconut sugar not stevia or monk fruit which have a fake taste to me. Sometimes I also add some protein powder as well. It is best enjoyed with milk, though when I’m out I’ve made it with water and it still works, just a different mouthfeel/less rich. I drink my cup in the grass in my backyard while grounding and getting morning light.
I probably won’t be able to afford to have it often- but it’s definitely become a welcome addition to some lifestyle changes I’m making.

This is by far the tastiest mushroom infused cacao we’ve had! It’s worth the cost because the ingredients are high quality, the taste is delicious, and it’s great for the soul! My husband and I enjoy a cup every night. It’s like a nightly thing now. The cacao dissolves well and I use a hand frother that gives the drink a creamy texture. We mix it with hot water and top it off with a 1/4 cup half n half. Yummy and so good for the body/mind. I have a tin and an extra bag om hand always.

You all should credit the folks at the farmers market in Bend, Oregon. It looks like several of us found your products there! I love them.

Love this brand, such great tasting cacao.The reusable container is a beautiful place to store it too. Also the founders are lovely people.

I found Ascend in the Saturday farmers market while visiting my best friend in Bend, OR. I loved it so much that now I’ve had it shipped to me in New Jersey. I’ve even converted my mom! Thanks so much for making a product that’s clean, tastes great and has a great variety of healthy mushrooms. It’s nice to have an alternative to coffee or tea and the cacao is perfect. 10 stars!

Ascend mushroom cacao is better than I expected. No jitters, no running to the bathroom, no coffee breath. Ascend provides a sense of calm & increased clarity. Flavor is delicious with light cocoa overtones & no woody grit. Blends easily & a terrific way to start your day or wind down your evening. It will definitely be on my wish list for every occasion.

Im loving this. Have been trying to find a way to get away from iced coffee and hot drip. I am very happy with this and it tastes amazing. I personally add a tablespoon of honey and some cinnamon (and a little St johns wort) and it tastes like mexican hot coco. Perfect way to start my day. I feel great. i feel less jittery and its a good way to help me stay home and grounded in the morning because i actually look forward to it and i dont feel the need to go through a drive through every morning. Using this every morning instead of getting coffee filled with sugar and processed almond milk has lowered my cortisol and anxiety. Thank youuuuuu. (just signed up for the monthly subscription.) I also am now spending about 1/3 on my morning ritual than before. thank you.

Best cacao I’ve ever had, great balance with the coconut sugar and cinnamon and love having the mushrooms already in there.

Ascend Mushrooms tastes similar to hot chocolate. My kids could not believe it the word mushrooms was even a part of the name. Tastes too good to be called healthy!

A friend visiting from out of town traveled with her mushroom infused ceremonial cacao, and I was surprised by the smooth taste and uplifting feeling I had after drinking. My own package of this warming goodness just arrived, just in time for fall. What a treat to start the day with this beverage!

Has such lovely nutty flavor. I love creating a morning ritual with this cacao. Works perfectly for aligning yourself and having a great start to your day!

I was first introduced to this cacao at an Owaken Breathwork ceremony in Austin, and WOW, talk about love at first sip! If you’re expecting just another mug of chocolatey goodness, think again. This isn’t just cacao. It’s ceremony. Since that fateful day, this magical brew has become my secret sauce. My favorite time to sip it is during coaching sessions, watching my intuition bloom like cacao blossoms.

Houston Summertime Tip: Ugh, 6+ months of suffocating heat. That’s when the iced version came to me...and my taste buds threw a full-on party! Blended with raw milk from the local dairy farm and poured over ice, it's Absolute perfection. Creamy, cooling, and still carrying that glorious, grounding mushroom depth. (Pro tip: blend the powder with a splash of warm water or milk first to melt the cacao, then top off with cold milk and ice.)

Whether you’re diving deep in breathwork, elevating a coaching session, or simply treating yourself to something sacred in a mug (or a glass of iced bliss) this cacao is pure alchemy. Highly recommend! ✨

I have been working through grief and depression at this time in my life. Every morning I get a bit of love from my cup with this product. It tastes amazing and it brightens my day! ✨️

Ceremonial cacao combined with a premium mushroom blend is absolutely delightful 👌🏼. I mix it with boiling water and stir until it cools down, which enhances the chocolate flavor perfectly. Adding unsweetened milk can sweeten the drink due to the coconut sugar from AscendMushroom. I prefer my ceremonial cacao to taste slightly bitter, so I find that any milk is unnecessary.

I absolutely love ascend Cacao!! It is beyond delicious. I use it daily with a little almond milk and I even add my creatine into the Nespresso frother and it’s what I enjoy waking up to in the mornings!!

This is the best Cacao I have tasted. No weird mushroom after taste either.

Better than the others! Helps with focus and tastes amazing 🤩

This is hands down the best cacao ever! It tastes delicious and you can tell that it was made with love and intention! 10/10 recommend purchasing!

This is exactly what I go to when I need a sense of calm and clarity. I love this stuff, I’m hooked :)

I stumbled upon Ascend at the farmers market and bought it for the taste. Now, a year later, it’s replaced my morning coffee and sets my day off on a calm, ready to conquer the world, positive note. It helps me celebrate every morning without spiking my blood sugar. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a healthier routine for their morning. ❤️

This brand is incredible. My friend knows the owners and they are living up to the hype of them as humans and their product. Great communication, fast shipping, and nice humans.

Highly recommend!! I have been loving the cacao mushroom blend. It is a part of my morning ritual. It has a great flavor and I feel both grounded and energized after drinking it.
