A ritual for the zone
Two teaspoons, warm milk, one quiet minute of whisking. Make it the start signal for writing, coding or designing — the hours where ideas connect.
Leave your coffee habit behind. FLUX is real cacao with herbal and mushroom extracts — a warm, chocolatey ritual for your deep-work hours.
Long before espresso machines, ceremonial cacao was the drink of thinkers, monks and messengers. FLUX builds on that tradition: real cacao, naturally rich in theobromine and magnesium.
Instead of an espresso shot, a warm, chocolatey cup with no added caffeine — only the little that's naturally in cacao. Whisk it, sip it slowly, and let it be the signal that it's time to create.
“Better than your coffee: cacao & nootropics.” — the promise on every pouch.
Two teaspoons, warm milk, one quiet minute of whisking. Make it the start signal for writing, coding or designing — the hours where ideas connect.
A powder, not a promise: stir two teaspoons into warm milk whenever you need it — morning pages, deadline sprints or late-night sessions.
No espresso shots, no energy drinks: just real cacao with the little caffeine nature put in it — so a cup at 4 pm still fits your day.

Every scoop of FLUX pairs real cacao with four ingredients from our own morning routine. No blends hidden behind “proprietary formulas” — this is it.
The shaggy mushroom
Hericium erinaceus, a white, shaggy mushroom with a long history in East Asian cooking. We use a concentrated extract, so you taste cacao — not mushroom.
The mountain mushroom
Prized in Himalayan tradition for centuries, today cultivated sustainably. Added as an extract for an earthy depth beneath the cacao.
From green tea
An amino acid that occurs naturally in green tea leaves, where it's part of the tea's mellow, rounded taste.
The building block
An amino acid found in everyday foods like cheese, soy and oats. In FLUX it's added in pure form.
Your coffee replacement for calm, creative deep work. Whisk two teaspoons into warm milk and drop in.

I used to run on coffee the way my laptop runs on power — permanently plugged in. Five cups a day, a racing heart, restless nights, and that famous 3 pm hole where every good idea goes to die.
Quitting made it worse before it made it better. I missed the ritual: a warm cup that tells your brain it's time to create. So I went looking for what people drank before coffee conquered the world — and found cacao, the focus drink of monks, thinkers and entire civilizations.
For months I mixed raw cacao with the nootropics I trusted from my own routine — lion's mane, cordyceps, L-theanine, tyrosine — until the blend felt right: awake but calm, sharp but soft. That blend became FLUX.
FLUX is blended in small batches in Munich. I still drink it every single morning — and I hope it carries you into flow the way it carries me.
