Heart Magic

Running on Empty?
5 Reasons to Rethink Your Next Coffee.

You’re tired, but your mind is still going.

Another message. Another decision. Another coffee to get through it all.

If your usual routine isn’t feeling good anymore, it might be time to reconsider your next cup, and make a little room for yourself.

Meet Elemental: unsweetened ceremonial cacao with six functional mushroom extracts, shaped into ready-to-froth hearts.

Meet Elemental

Coffee-free. Contains naturally occurring caffeine.

01Another coffee may not be what you want right now.

You know the feeling. Your body is done, but your mind is still running: tomorrow’s list, the unanswered texts, the form you forgot to sign. Reaching for another coffee is almost automatic.

But caffeine affects everyone differently, and too much of it can contribute to jitters and disrupted sleep, according to the FDA. Sometimes what you need isn’t more push. It’s a pause.

Illustrative, from our product page, not measured data. Everyone responds differently.

What the research shows: in a placebo-controlled study of 80 healthy adults, caffeine produced its familiar boost in alertness, while theobromine at everyday amounts had much subtler effects. At much higher doses, theobromine felt worse, not better. Psychopharmacology, 2013

Cacao naturally contains caffeine and theobromine. Elemental is coffee-free, not caffeine-free. If you’re reducing caffeine, do so gradually.

02Your break deserves your attention.

Most breaks don’t feel like breaks. You hold a drink in one hand and answer messages with the other, or scroll until the time is gone.

Try it another way. Make your cacao. Put the phone in another room. Feel the warm mug in your hands, take one comfortable breath, and enjoy the first few sips without doing anything else. If your mind wanders, that’s fine. There’s nothing to get right.

03Give yourself something to look forward to.

Elemental is rich, unsweetened cacao: deep and earthy, closer to real drinking chocolate than anything from a packet. It’s whole ceremonial cacao blended with six functional mushroom extracts, with no added sweetener or spices, so it ends up exactly how you like it. Keep it dark, or add milk and a little sweetness until it tastes like a treat.

Brittany M., verified buyer of Elemental

04Make a small practice of coming back to yourself.

So much of the day is spent responding. This is a few minutes of noticing instead: the warmth in your hands, the light in the room, the people you love, an idea you haven’t had time for, something you’re grateful for, or simply how good it tastes.

It doesn’t have to become a ceremony. It just has to be yours.

“When I sit with cacao in the afternoon, I feel grounded and present. There’s space in my brain to see things again and not be so consumed by them.”
Jacob, Heart Magic founder, sharing his personal experience

05Keep it simple enough to repeat.

A practice only helps if it fits your real life. Add one or two hearts to hot water and froth until smooth, about 30 seconds once the water is hot. Add milk or sweetness if you like, and take a few minutes to yourself when you can.

Each bag holds 20 hearts, enough for 10 to 20 cups depending on how strong you make it.

Questions

Does Elemental contain caffeine?

Yes. Cacao naturally contains caffeine and theobromine, so Elemental is coffee-free but not caffeine-free.

What does it taste like?

Rich, earthy, unsweetened cacao, closer to true drinking chocolate. It doesn’t taste like coffee, and you won’t taste the mushrooms.

How do I make it?

Heat about 8 oz of water just below boiling, drop in one or two hearts, and froth for about 30 seconds. Add milk or sweetener if you like.
