A gentle daily cup is around 10 to 20 grams. A standard ritual portion is around 20 to 30 grams. A full ceremony portion is around 30 to 42 grams. Start low, see how your body responds, and adjust from there.
Solara comes as small spheres of about 8 grams each, with about 18 to 19 in a 150g pack. A gentle daily cup is one to two spheres, and a full ceremony is four to five.
How to find your portion
Cacao affects everyone a little differently. The honest advice is to begin at the lower end, especially if you are caffeine sensitive, and pay attention. You are looking for the warm, steady, present feeling, not an overstimulated one.
| Use | Portion | Spheres |
|---|---|---|
| Gentle daily cup | 10 to 20 g | 1 to 2 |
| Standard ritual | 20 to 30 g | 3 to 4 |
| Full ceremony | 30 to 42 g | 4 to 5 |
How to measure your spheres
Each sphere is about 8 grams, so you can simply count them out: one or two spheres for a daily cup, four to five for a full ceremony. A small kitchen scale helps if you like to be precise.
A word of caution
More is not better. Larger portions are for occasional intentional ceremony, not every morning. If you are pregnant or nursing, or sensitive to stimulants, keep portions small and check with a healthcare professional first.
