Adaptogenic mushrooms are used around the world. Most research has looked at the potential benefits of polysaccharides, including beta-glucan. The mushrooms included are made from finely ground mycelium and fruiting bodies and are locally cultivated here in Portland, Oregon. Each batch is tested for purity & safety, and are some of the highest quality bioavailable medicinal mushroom products on the market. The diverse composite of active constituents contained – which includes mushrooms like Chaga, Reishi, and Cordyceps – is an excellent way to maintain a healthy body. This rich, simply-made cocoa is one of the most delicious ways to enjoy them.

The History of Hot Chocolate 
Mayans were drinking hot chocolate as early as 500 B.C. It was made from ground cocoa seeds, water, cornmeal, and chili peppers, a lot different than the hot chocolate that drinks today.  They would mix it by pouring it back and forth in a pot until it created a frothy thick foam, and then they would enjoy the beverage cold.  This was a beverage that was available to people of all class levels.
Cocoa Beans and chocolate made their way to Europe in the early 1500s. The drink remained cold and bitter. It gained even more popularity when it was adopted by King Charles V and the royalty in Spain. After this, it started to be served hot and sweetened.
Hot Chocolate made its way to England in the  1700s. They were popular in chocolate houses (similar to coffee shops today). It became increasingly popular despite the price of chocolate. The English started to add milk into their hot chocolate beverage and enjoyed it after dinner. This is closer to what we know today!
Cocoa powder was invented in Holland, and the Dutch controlled nearly the entire chocolate trade. Dutch Processed Cocoa (European style), which we use in our Chocodelic Trip, is cocoa that has been treated with an alkalizing agent reducing the natural acidity.  It is rich in flavor, with a smoother and milder flavor profile. It is often used in recipes like cakes and even used in spice rubs.
