Rich, earthy, lightly sweet and perfectly spiced. Madré Cacao is our signature cup, made with cacao from southern Thailand and served hot with steamed plant milk.
The flavour begins with the cacao: chocolatey depth, warm earthy notes and a soft bitterness. Milk, sweetness and spice come together around it to make the drink we serve at Madre Tierra.
The heart of our cacao menu
Madré Cacao can be enjoyed on its own, and it is also the base of our cacao elixirs. Each builds on that signature blend with its own botanicals and spices.
Ignite brings cayenne, ginger, turmeric and beet to the cup. Blossom combines rose, vanilla and gentle warming spice with Vessel, our floral botanical infusion. They offer different ways to enjoy our cacao, while the signature cup lets you get to know the blend we begin with.
Our cacao comes from southern Thailand
The cacao we serve at Madre Tierra is organic, stone-ground cacao from Nakhon Si Thammarat in southern Thailand. It feels especially fitting to serve cacao grown here in Thailand, where a beautiful cacao culture has been steadily developing, particularly in the warm, humid south.
Stone-grinding keeps the cacao close to its whole form, retaining the natural cacao butter along with the cacao solids. The result is deeply chocolatey, slightly earthy and beautifully full-bodied.
From cacao to cup
At the café, we prepare Madré Cacao as a finished drink with steamed plant milk and serve it hot in an earthy vessel. The cacao’s soft bitterness gives the cup depth, while its earthy notes sit beautifully alongside spice. Our signature blend is lightly sweet, with the richness of the cacao still at its heart.
A small ritual
There is something about cacao that feels immediately different from other drinks. It is rich and grounding, soft but substantial. It slows you down a little. It asks to be noticed.
A warm cup of cacao is sensory. The smell, the bitterness, the texture, the heat of the cup in your hands — all of it creates a small reason to stop doing ten things at once.
We keep our own relationship with cacao simple. A ritual can be drinking something slowly instead of rushing.
In the café and at home
On our shelves, Raw Cacao is the cacao ingredient for your own cups and recipes. You can choose your milk, sweetness and spices to suit your taste.
