Your baseline
Five questions, 1–10. Answer for the past week, not for today — this is the "before" photo every gain is measured against.
Self-reported, 1–10, measured against your own baseline — not against anyone else. One check-in a week is plenty.
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 single-origin cacao carrying three well-studied botanicals. Nothing else, and only 3.3g of coconut sugar per serving.
Lion's Mane
For focusHericium erinaceus · fruiting body
The most researched of the three for concentration and mental clarity. Long used in East Asia, and now the reason it leads this blend.
Cordyceps
For staminaCordyceps militaris
Studied for endurance and oxygen use — steady energy rather than a spike. Valued at altitude long before anyone measured why.
Ginkgo Biloba
For circulationGinkgo biloba
One of the most studied botanicals for blood flow to the brain. Also the oldest surviving tree species on earth.
Raw Cacao
The carrierTheobroma cacao · single origin
Kept raw so the flavanols and minerals survive. It is also why this is a button you enjoy rather than a capsule you swallow.
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 a bright floral 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.
From tree to button —
and back to the tree
Small batches, slow methods, and a fairer deal at the start of it all. Regenerative growing that leaves the soil better than it found it.

Steeped in history —
the food of the Gods
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.
Where cacao comes from
Cacao is native to the forests of South America, not to the confectionery aisle. We buy single-origin beans and keep them raw, so what reaches you is closer to the fruit than to a bar. The specific origin changes with each harvest — we would rather follow the best beans than tie ourselves to one label.
The chasqui — runners of the Qhapaq Ñan
Across roughly 40,000 km of Andean road, teams of relay runners carried messages and goods between stations — reportedly covering enormous distances in a day by handing off rather than running the whole route alone. The name Chaski is a nod to that idea: small, consistent efforts passed along beat one heroic sprint.
Chocolate, rediscovered
For most of its history cacao was drunk raw and unsweetened, valued for what it did rather than how much sugar it carried — and that is the version we have gone back to. A healthy, life-giving treat: four buttons, one quiet minute, built up a level at a time.
