Welcome!
We’re here to elevate and expand the coffee shop experience by offering Indonesian-sourced, Salt Lake City-roasted premium brewing cacao.
At Kakao Raya, every sip supports a bigger story, one rooted in community, sustainability, and elevating your daily cup of joe.
We partner with farmers and nature stewards to support lives and livelihoods in West Papua, Indonesia. They grow some of the world’s best cacao so that we can source the magic to kickstart the third wave cacao movement hitting your local coffee shop.
If all this sounds like your cup of tea (a cup you’d like to switch out for cacao), drop us a line! We’d love to hear from you and explore how we can find a place for brewed cacao on your menu.
Direct from the Indonesian archipelago.
As pure as it gets.
Market Opportunities
For you & cacao
You’re missing out on half the population.
Approximately half of Salt Lake’s population doesn’t drink coffee (or tea or matcha!) for religious reasons.
Hot chocolate and steamers are great, but if you don’t want a sugar-laden beverage and want to feel like you’re truly taking part in the cafe experience, your options are slim.
Cacao is as pure as it comes and can be swapped for coffee in most recipes. Most importantly, everyone can drink it. For an inclusive coffee shop experience, serve cacao.
Get ahead of the curve. Start a movement.
The coffee substitute market is estimated to reach $1.9 billion by 2032.
It’s currently valued at $1.3 billion.
No one is offering these alternatives at cafes, only in direct-to-consumer options, most of them sold online.
Be a trendsetter, help lead the alternative third wave cacao movement.
A premium product, innovation in a cup.
Natural, pure coffee alternative for individuals trying to move away from caffeine or looking for naturally sugar-free options.
Antioxidants, flavonoids, theobromine—all the best nature has to offer.
Prepared and served just like coffee.
Market as a healthy AM or PM beverage.
