#23 Discover goodmoodfood, the Berlin-Based Cacao & Superfoods Brand 🪭

Hello 🌞

In today’s newsletter, I would love to introduce you to goodmoodfood, a Berlin-based cacao and superfood brand that I love to support. I believe deeply in the power of cacao as a sacred medicine that helps us open our hearts and reconnect with ourselves. I’m always happy to share projects that are sustainable, ethical, organic, and ultimately good for our souls.

For the women here, I’m organizing a free clothing and book swap this Wednesday evening at Mauerpark. All the information can be found here. I’m excited to share: I’ll be helping organize and participating in a sacred weekend retreat with the Huni Kuin on July 10–12. More details can be found in the newsletter 🐍

If you enjoy reading this newsletter, you can forward the link to a friend https://theberlinflow.com and you can buy me a coffee to support my work ❤️

goodmoodfood is a Berlin-based natural superfood brand specializing in raw cacao and functional mushrooms — sourced directly from farmers and indigenous communities across South America, Asia, and beyond. With every sip and every bite, we celebrate conscious living, fair trade, and the joy of nature — responsible and transparent all the way from source to finished product. They believe “what we eat each day shapes how we feel, and how we show up in the world.” At goodmoodfood, they don't just nourish people — they inspire a movement toward more connection, vitality, healthy pleasure, and genuine good vibes. Happy, healthy, wholy. From Source to Soul.

What’s the story behind goodmoodfood and how did it begin?

It all started in 2008, when Tobi — then working in fashion sales — took his first bite of raw cacao at a Berlin trade fair and discovered something he'd never experienced before: healthy food that was genuinely beautiful, alive, and delicious. A year later, the sudden loss of his father on Easter morning became the real turning point. On the long drive from Berlin to Freiburg, Tobi made a decision: to leave behind his "money job" and dedicate himself to something that truly mattered — real, living food that makes people feel better from the inside out. goodmoodfood was born from those two moments: a bite that sparked a fascination, and a loss that gave him the courage to act on it.

What makes your cacao special?

Many Things! But I want to start with the people and the places. Our Bolivian cacao for exemple is truly wild – never cultivated, only harvested by hand from the rainforest by the Baure, the indigenous community who knows that land better than anyone on earth. Our Colombian cacao comes from the Tayronas of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta – a place they call "the heart of the world." We have eight varieties in total, each with its own origin, story, and distinct flavour profile.

And beyond the sourcing, what really makes the difference is minimal processing: we do as little as possible to preserve every nutrient, every aroma, and every bit of what makes these cacaos extraordinary.

What is one thing you wish more people knew about cacao?

That it's one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet – and most people still just think of it as chocolate. Raw cacao is packed with minerals (like magnesium and iron) but also flavanols and theobromin. Raw cacao contains up to three times more flavanols than roasted cacao, giving it extraordinary antioxidant capacity, far beyond blueberries or green tea. These flavanols protect cells, improve blood flow, and support brain oxygenation – while theobromine, cacao's natural stimulant, delivers sustained energy and a genuine mood lift without the crash. So when people say "chocolate makes me happy" – they're not imagining it. The science actually confirms it. (More on our blog)

What kind of impact do you hope to have with the brand?

Simply put: we want to bring truly good food to the world – "good" meaning good for the people eating it (taste, body, mind), good for the people growing it, and good for the planet. That means fair trade, regenerative farming, and deep respect for the communities at origin – because a good mood world has to start at the source, not just at the cup. When you drink a goodmoodfood cacao, a farmer benefits from fair pay, healthy soil keeps growing, and you feel the difference in your body.

Happy, healthy, wholy – that's not just a tagline. It's the whole point. 

What are you currently working on behind the scenes? What are the new products?

We're in an exciting evolution – shifting from "cacao & ritual" toward everyday energy and health, so that more people can genuinely benefit from what we offer. Our newest products are the Mushroom Cacao blends: raw cacao combined with functional mushrooms like Reishi, Hericium (Lion's Mane), Chaga, and Cordyceps – each blend designed for a specific need, whether that's sustained performance, calm focus, or deep restoration. It's a natural next step: same commitment to quality and origin, broader daily impact. And for those who love cacao for its depth and ceremonial quality – our raw cacao still has everything you'd want for that experience. We're not closing any doors, just opening new ones.

What's the vision for goodmoodfood?

Our vision lives in three words: happy, healthy, wholy. We want goodmoodfood to become the brand that proves healthy and delicious are never opposites – that eating well can be joyful, effortless, and genuinely good for you, for the people who grow your food, and for the planet they grow it on. We call it "From Source to Soul": a commitment that everything we do – from how cacao is grown to how it lands in your morning cup – is done with intention, fairness, and real quality

A good world starts with good food!
