Dragon Hemp Apothecary
Dragon Hemp Apothecary will welcome guests for a serving of the Ceremonial Cacao presented by Dragon Hemp ceremonial priestess, Gvantsa Chkhikvadze at noon. A cacao ceremony has been part of a tradition for various ancient cultures dating back thousands of years. A ceremonial cacao is very different from a traditional hot chocolate in that ceremonial grade cacao is a pure Criollo cacao-bean paste that contains a higher quantity of beneficial and mood-elevating compounds. Criollo cacao bean is a wild strain not bred for sweetness like most commercial chocolates and has higher concentrations of Theobromine, serotonin, tryptophan and many other health-restoring consciousness-altering compounds.
