Lauren L. Hill As a professional surfer and writer, I love finding natural ways to boost my energy and focus and Nya Rituals Ceremonial Cacao Adaptogens is a lovely way to meet those needs in a fresh way. The rich, earthy cacao, with sweetness from organic vanilla and carob creates a subtly sweet, grounding experience. I like the idea of adding adaptogens here to stay centred for long sessions with the pen and paper. And the packaging- The dark glass jar with contrasting metallic accents really makes the whole experience feel special! Nya’s foundation of organically grown ingredients, with the addition of Australian native wattle-seed and no added sweetners really sets them apart in the drinking chocolate space. Their refill program, options for bulk buying and focus on single origin bean usage really speaks to the layers of Nya’s environmental commitment.Amy Campbell Nya Rituals Ceremonial Cacao is such a grounding, feel-good drink- it’s rich and earthy with that beautiful depth you only get from proper ceremonial cacao. I love that it’s blended with adaptogens and Aussie wattle-seed, giving it a really unique flavour that feels both indulgent and nourishing. There’s no added sugar or sweeteners, which I appreciate, so you can enjoy it as is or tweak it to your own taste. It’s become one of my favourite ways to slow down and reset- like a little daily ritual in a cup. This brand really stands out with its strong focus on ethical and sustainable practices, from using USDA-certified organic ingredients (except for their wild-harvested wattle-seed) to supporting traditional, eco-friendly cacao farming in Peru. They work closely with local communities there, helping improve farmer’s conditions and teaching sustainable agriculture, while their wild-harvested Australian wattle-seed is sourced in partnership with Indigenous growers. Their commitment continues at home, with all products made and packaged in Australia using recyclable materials, refill options and even Miron glass jars that protect the product naturally without preservatives. Plus, they keep their production low-impact by blending and packaging by hand, support local women through employment and actively back environmental projects like mangrove restoration with Happify Earth. It’s clear they’re not just about great products, but also about creating a healthier planet and community, which feels really authentic and refreshing.Jordan Pie As a visual person, I was instantly drawn to Nya Rituals- the branding, the design, the whole aesthetic. It’s beautifully and thoughtfully put together, giving it such an elevated, luxurious feel. It’s also incredibly user-friendly, the screw-top lid is easy to open and the spoon fits perfectly inside the jar, which I find so much more convenient than some of the messy packet options out there. The ingredients are just as impressive. This blend tastes rich and decadent and I love that you can add your own preferred sweetener. It’s perfect if you like it less sweet or are avoiding sugar altogether. I really like how this brand is genuinely committed to doing things the right way when it comes to ethics and sustainability. They use USDA-certified organic ingredients and make sure everything’s safe with heavy metal testing. Their cacao comes from the Amazon, where they work closely with local farmers, helping out with tools and training to support the community and the environment. They also team up with Indigenous groups in Australia for wild-harvested wattle-seed, which feels really respectful and transparent. I love that their packaging is eco-friendly, with recyclable materials, Miron glass jars that keep the nutrients fresh and a refill system to cut down on waste. Plus, their mostly hand-done production and plastic-free shipping show they’re serious about keeping their impact low at every step.
