Week 0 — your baseline

Eight ways to take your four-a-day
0 of 8 triedTick each one off as you try it — three lay the third stone of your pyramid, all eight make you a Maestro de Cacao.
What's in your tube
Four buttons a day — raw, ceremonial-grade Nacional cacao carrying three botanicals honoured for centuries. Nothing else, and only 3.3g of coconut sugar per serving.
Lion's Mane
The scholarHericium erinaceus · fruiting body
Taken by scholars and monks before study — the anchor of the focus ritual.
Cordyceps
The mountaineerCordyceps militaris
Treasured at altitude in Tibetan tradition — the calm-energy thread.
Ginkgo Biloba
The elderthe oldest living tree species
200 million years of patience — a fixture of clarity traditions.
Nacional Cacao
The carrierTheobroma cacao · single origin
Raw, ceremonial grade, from the "Arriba" lineage — why a button beats a capsule.
In every four-button serving
Levels relative to a typical chocolate bar — exact values from the label.
Taking it well
Tasting notes arrive in order — velvet dark, then soft coconut sweetness, closing on the floral "Arriba" finish — so eat slowly enough to catch all three. Keep the tube cool and dry, below 20°C. Theobromine lifts gently rather than spiking, so your four are welcome in the afternoon too. The full repertoire lives in La Cocina.
The message is the ritual.
You are the runner.
Chaski takes its name from the chasqui — the relay runners of the Inca road — and its cacao from where cacao itself was born.
Cacao is born South American
The earliest traces of cacao yet found are 5,300 years old, in vessels of the Mayo-Chinchipe people of the upper Amazon — the story of chocolate begins in the forests below the Andes.
"Arriba" — the aroma from upriver
Traders on the Guayas river asked where the fragrant beans came from: de arriba — from upriver. Chaski buttons are pressed from that single-origin Nacional lineage, raw and ceremonial grade.
The chasqui — runners of the Qhapaq Ñan
Across 40,000 km of mountain road, relay runners moved an empire's news — up to 240 km a day, station to station. A chasqui trained two things above all: breath for the altitude, and memory for the message.
A small daily relay
A daily ritual is a message passed from the person you are this morning to the person you'll be in three months. Four buttons, one quiet minute — station to station, the trail does the rest. That's why your portal is a pyramid: you build it a level at a time.
