The Story
For the days when you need sustained energy and a touch of luxury, Karnak Solstice delivers. This curated collection blends bold cacao with mood-lifting botanicals and creamy nuts—perfect for the creative soul, the active body, or anyone seeking a midday reset that feels as good as it tastes.
Named after the Temple of Karnak, where ancient rituals celebrated life force and renewal, this collection is your modern ceremony for vitality. Whether you’re recovering from a morning workout, powering through your afternoon, or reconnecting with your body in the evening, these minis are designed to support you.
What’s Inside Your Collection
Each box contains 6 mini bars (30g each):
2 x Moosoon (Cashew Butter Dark Chocolate)
Buttery cashew cream meets smooth cacao. A protein-rich treat that satisfies without weighing you down. Cashews are naturally rich in zinc and magnesium—essential minerals for energy production, hormonal balance, and vitality.
Tasting notes: Creamy, nutty, naturally sweet
Ingredients: Organic cacao, organic cashew butter, organic cane sugar
Why it works: Zinc supports healthy testosterone levels and immune function. Healthy fats provide sustained energy. Protein aids post-workout muscle recovery. Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions including energy metabolism.
When to enjoy: Post-workout recovery, afternoon satiety, evening treat
2 x Black Earl (Earl Grey Tea Infused Dark Chocolate)
Fragrant bergamot-infused dark chocolate. Uplifting, aromatic, and beautifully balanced for focus and calm. Bergamot oil is clinically shown to reduce stress while the natural caffeine provides gentle alertness.
Tasting notes: Floral bergamot, bright citrus, sophisticated dark chocolate
Why it works: Bergamot reduces cortisol (stress hormone) while enhancing mood. Natural tea caffeine + cacao theobromine = sustained energy without jitters or crashes.
When to enjoy: Afternoon creative boost, pre-presentation confidence, mindful work break
2 x Noire (Pure Dark Chocolate 73%)
Deep, velvety single-origin dark chocolate. The ultimate source of antioxidants, natural theobromine for sustained energy, and phenethylamine—the compound associated with feelings of pleasure and vitality.
Tasting notes: Bold cacao, subtle fruit notes, clean finish
Why it works: Theobromine provides 4-6 hours of gentle energy. Cacao flavonoids improve circulation and blood flow throughout the body. High in magnesium for muscle recovery and relaxation.
When to enjoy: Post-workout recovery, morning focus ritual, evening reconnection
Why Karnak Solstice Fits Your Lifestyle
✓ Clean Energy Boost
Natural theobromine and caffeine for sustained vitality—no jitters, no crash, just 4-6 hours of focused energy. Unlike coffee that spikes cortisol, cacao’s compounds work with your body’s natural rhythms.
✓ Perfect Post-Workout Ritual
After your morning run, workout session, yoga, Pilates, or gym session, your body craves replenishment. Karnak Solstice delivers:
- Fast-acting carbohydrates to restore muscle glycogen
- Magnesium (47mg+ per serving) to prevent cramping and support recovery
- Zinc from cashews for immune support and muscle repair
- Antioxidants to combat exercise-induced inflammation
- Protein and healthy fats for sustained energy and satiety
✓ Functional, Not Just Indulgent
This is chocolate with a job to do:
- Magnesium for muscle relaxation, mood balance, better sleep
- Polyphenols for inflammation support and cardiovascular health
- Theobromine for gentle, sustained energy without cortisol spikes
- Healthy fats for hormone production and satiety
The ritual: Keep Solana in your gym bag. Enjoy within 30 minutes post-workout for optimal recovery. Pair with a plant-based protein smoothie or simply savor on its own.
✓ Support Your Natural Vitality
Let’s be honest: vitality and libido are connected to how we feel in our bodies. When you’re energized, when stress is managed, when circulation is flowing—desire follows naturally.
Karnak Solstice supports this through:
- Improved circulation: Cacao flavonoids increase nitric oxide production, enhancing blood flow
- Mood elevation: Phenethylamine (PEA) triggers the same brain chemicals released during moments of pleasure and connection
- Stress reduction: Bergamot lowers cortisol—chronic stress is vitality’s enemy
- Essential minerals: Zinc and magnesium support hormonal health and physical vitality
- Body confidence: When you feel strong and nourished, everything else follows
Cacao has been revered as an aphrodisiac for over 3,000 years. Modern science confirms what ancient wisdom knew: this is medicine for your life force.
Stackable, shareable, and impossibly chic. Karnak Solstice looks as good as it tastes—perfect for your desk drawer, gym bag, or sharing with friends who appreciate beauty and substance.
✓ Gut-Safe & IBS-Friendly
Zero hidden triggers:
- No emulsifiers (lecithin, PGPR)

- No inulin or chicory root fiber
- No sugar alcohols
- Low-FODMAP compatible

This price is crucial because it directly impacts the livelihoods of farmers. This is the price that cocoa farmers receive for their beans when they sell them directly to middlemen such as traders or cooperatives. It reflects the local market conditions and can vary significantly between countries.
Cocoa Beans Commodity Price: £4.86 or $5.86 per kg
This price is determined on the global market 6months before the harvest and can take over a year between futures pricing, harvesting, processing, shipping, manufacturing, and distribution.. The commodity price is often higher than the farmgate price because it includes costs incurred by traders, shipping, and market fluctuations.
When commodity prices rise, traders and exporters, who buy from farmers at the farmgate price, tend to benefit the most. They can sell the cocoa at the higher market price while farmers often remain locked into lower farmgate prices.

Slavery Free Cocoa Beans Price : £2.00 or $2.6 per kg
While initiatives promoting Slavery Free Cocoa aim to create a more ethical and transparent cocoa industry, the additional compensation offered to farmers is often minimal—typically just a few cents above conventional market prices. This raises questions about the effectiveness of these programs in addressing the systemic issues of poverty and inequality that many cocoa farmers face.
Fairtrade Cocoa Beans Price: between £2.00 and £2.50 – approximately $2.50 to $3.10
While Fairtrade has made strides in advocating for better prices and working conditions, challenges remain. High certification and auditing costs can hinder farmers, and there’s no guarantee that premiums will consistently reach all producers. For instance, if there are too many farmers producing cocoa at a given time, premiums may be diluted, leading to some farmers not receiving their expected share. Consequently, this system can sometimes perpetuate existing power dynamics favouring corporations over smallholder farmers.
Corporations might leverage Fairtrade as a way to secure a consistent supply of cocoa without fully addressing the underlying issues of exploitation and poverty.
