A richer way to unwind.
Unwind. Sip. Reset.
A rich cocoa ritual infused with Ashwagandha and aromatic cardamom, created for those moments when the day finally slows down.

Product introduction

Some days don't end when you leave work.

Your body may be home, but your mind is still answering emails, thinking about tomorrow and replaying everything that happened today.

THEIA Ashwagandha Cocoa Blend was created for that transition.

A warm, indulgent cocoa experience combined with Ashwagandha and aromatic cardamom — giving you a simple ritual that helps create a natural pause between a busy day and a quieter evening.

It's not about adding another complicated step to your routine.

It's about creating a moment you actually want to keep.

The story behind Ashwagandha

One of Ayurveda's most celebrated botanicals.

Ashwagandha, botanically known as Withania somnifera, has been used in traditional Ayurvedic practices for centuries.

It has traditionally been associated with rejuvenation, vitality and the body's ability to adapt to physical and mental demands.

Modern research has increasingly investigated Ashwagandha for its relationship with:

- Stress
- Cortisol
- Anxiety
- Sleep
- Mental wellbeing
- Physical performance
- Recovery

A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis of nine randomized controlled trials involving 558 participants found significant effects on perceived stress, anxiety scores and serum cortisol compared with placebo.

A newer 2025 systematic review found a significant reduction in cortisol across randomized trials, while the effect on perceived stress was not statistically significant. This is a good example of why Ashwagandha should be described as a promising wellness ingredient rather than a guaranteed solution for stress.

Why Ashwagandha + Cocoa?

Ashwagandha traditionally has a distinctly earthy, herbal character.

Cocoa gives it a completely different personality.

The richness of cocoa helps turn an herbal botanical into something familiar, comforting and enjoyable.

Cardamom adds a warm aromatic layer that connects the blend back to its Indian botanical roots.

The result is not simply an Ashwagandha powder.

It is a ritual.

Ingredient story

Ashwagandha

The hero botanical.

Traditionally valued in Ayurveda for its rejuvenating and adaptogenic properties.

Modern studies have investigated its potential relationship with stress, cortisol, anxiety and sleep.

---

Cocoa

Deep, rich and naturally complex.

Cocoa contains naturally occurring polyphenols and flavonoid compounds that have been extensively studied for their antioxidant properties.

It also gives the blend its unmistakable chocolate experience.

---

Cardamom

Aromatic, warm and subtly sweet.

Cardamom has a long history in Indian culinary and traditional wellness practices.

It brings brightness to the richness of cocoa and helps create THEIA's distinctive flavour profile.

What makes Ashwagandha interesting?

Stress & cortisol

Ashwagandha has been studied for its potential influence on the body's stress response.

Clinical research has reported reductions in cortisol and improvements in certain stress-related measures, although results vary between studies.

---

Relaxation & mental wellbeing

The traditional use of Ashwagandha and emerging human research have made it particularly interesting for people looking to build stress-management and relaxation routines.

---

Sleep & evening routines

Research has also investigated Ashwagandha in relation to sleep quality and sleep-related outcomes.

This makes it particularly compatible with an evening wellness ritual.
