reduce. reuse. recycle.
We do our upmost to work by the reduce, reuse, recycle - principle.
This reflects in our packaging.
Our PET jar is a lightweight, circular packaging. After serving a first lifetime, it has been recycled into our rPET. And is now again, reusable or fully recyclable to get a third lifetime and more. So cherish its beautiful scars.
Our label has been developed to be fully removable. Different from the classic labels with a high intensity permanent glue (which makes the label unremovable & the PET jar consequently burnt instead of recycled) we've opted for our paper label with a thin layer of PE and non permanent glue.
You can either remove the label when sorting, or the label will be removed during the recycling process.

caffeine. our filter cacao contains about 1/8 to 1/10 of the levels of caffeine compared to the same volume of filter coffee . as a result it can be enjoyed round the clock without caffeine-jitters.
theobromine. a cup of 150ml filter cacao contains 50mg of theobromine . a gentler, more steady and long lasting source of energy.
polyphenols. the same cup of 150ml contains 90mg of polyphenols, known for their contribution to maintain the elasticity of blood vessels & optimum blood flow . a daily dosis of 200mg is considered having immediate positive health effects .
so you only need 2.22 cups of filter cacao to hit that mark.
no waste. after brewing you can reuse the cacao grounds for baking, scooping into your (plant-based) yoghurt or granola, etc . it just keeps giving.
calorie-free. the high cacao butter content of our light roasted ground cacao (55-58%) delivers a unique, complex taste & aroma to our brew . but by using a paper filter, our brew is considered completely fat- & sugar free with only 1.7 kcal/100ml.

The green hills of the Idukki region are a delight for cocoa trees. The region sees plenty of sunshine and rainfall, and the cocoa pods are surrounded by fragrant spices and tall coconut trees. Despite these excellent conditions, fine flavour cocoa never received much attention in the Idukki region in South-India. Until GoGround entered the stage. The team is headed by Ellen and Luca, a husband-and-wife team with an engineering background and a passion for creating change in rural communities. As can be expected from two engineers, the research on processing the fresh cocoa beans are endless. Ongoing experiments with variables such as pulp reduction, aeration and moisture-levels, ensure the team finds the best protocol which fits the beans and the seasonal and climatic circumstances.
