HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SOMA CACAO
All our cacaos are single-origin, meaning that each has a unique flavour and nutritional profile. All are made from whole-bean cacao, antioxidant-rich, packed with essential minerals, and brimming with bliss compounds and happy hormones. All have won international awards, and all are sourced from small, sustainable farms. All our cacaos are brilliant, but which is the cacao for you?
Everyone has a different favourite at Soma Cacao. Our general recommendation is to grab a STARTER PACK to try out a few different varieties, and let your tastebuds choose for you.

Let customers speak for us
Absolutely delicious.I rate it as highly as Daintree which i usually drink.
This is my favourite and then it’s Daintree, but Peruvian just gives a beautiful chocolatey taste which I love. I only add a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar and it’s so calming and relaxing for me.
I’ve tried almost all your single origin cacaos, and had to come back for more in bulk size of the Solomon Islands. The most chocolatey flavour I’ve found so far, absolutely delicious - and it goes further because I’m using less per cup to get the same depth of flavour.
I love the starter packs and getting to try all the different cacaos and pick my favourites (which I'm not sure I can decide on!). I also love trying different strengths of blends from 1 to 3 scoops.
This one is very smooth, smells amazing out of the bag. New favourite.
I've tried a number of the cacao varieties provided by Soma but this in my opinion is the best. It's got a nutty flavor and lingering aftertaste that will want you coming back for more.
This cacao is a very chocolately, warming beverage that gives me great mental clarity in the mornings and during the afternoon slump. I enjoy with honey and milk
I am an avid lover of the Mexican cacao, I never imagined anything would come close to it, but the Peruvian has done exactly that! It truly is amazing! This will definitely be part of my order ongoing, so yummy!
The best hot chocolate I have tried. They were out of stock a few times and it was frustrating for me, that's how good it is. I even tried other brands while I waited for the restocking, they came nothing close to Soma cacao.
2 new origins within a few months. Love both of them, I'll be stocking up for the Christmas break 👊🏼
Always look forward to my daily dose of Soma!! Solomon Islands is a masterpiece xx
Always consistently delicious! I've been really enjoying mine with a pinch of salt, maple and a dash of soy milk.
after two different brand failed attempts at compact blenders i can use multiple times a day for hot(ish)/iced drinks this one has definitely become my instant favourite.
only had it for a few weeks so longevity wise we'll see, but as for function, ease of use, lightweight, power output, ease to clean everything about it so far is fantastic.
My husband and l really enjoy the delicious flavour of the Mexican Cacao. best we have had!
I practically order cacao on a subscription, and the Daintree variety is my go-to staple, but I recently tried the new Solomon Islands origin and it is exactly as they describe it. It smells very much like smoky Russian Caravan tea! I don't think I'll give up my Daintree crush, but if you are on the fence about which origin to try next, give the Solomon Islands cacao a spin! Delish!
