Mocola is a superfood powder blend made with cacao and kola nut, a caffeine-containing fruit, native to West Africa. Enjoy the cozy hot chocolate taste with a balanced, sustained energy boost. 

Benefits of Mocola

  • Pick-me-up - The kola nut packs the caffeine punch in Mocola. Each serving contains about 85 mg of natural caffeine, similar to a cup of coffee.
  • Healthy, dairy-free ingredients - In addition to cacao and kola nut, Mocola contains coconut milk and coconut sugar. Sip it hot, just like hot chocolate, and enjoy the warm, cozy feeling.
  • Nutritious - Mocola is packed with nutrients (magnesium, calcium, fiber among others) and antioxidants that will help keep you nourished and help rid your body of free radicals.
  • Instant and on-the-go - Mocola comes in a box of 14 individual sachets. Mix the powder blend into a cup of hot water.  Add some milk if you want to. Stir and enjoy!

The Kola in Mocola

Kola nut is native to West Africa, where it is chewed as a stimulant and revered among the Igbos of Nigeria as a symbol of hospitality, respect and friendship. Each kola nut contains more caffeine than two cups of coffee. Like cacao, it contains a fair amount of theobromine, which is a much milder but longer lasting stimulant than caffeine.

 

Kola nuts

Fun fact: Kola nut extract was a key ingredient in the original Coca Cola recipe. That's the reason for the "cola" in "Coca Cola".

Mission

Let's put kola nut on the map! We aim to source our kola nut by working directly with kola nut farmers in our home country, Nigeria. We hope to establish a relationship that not only benefits them financially, but also empowers them to cultivate the highest quality product under sustainable conditions. First, we would like to know what you think about Mocola, so we decided to test our first version of Mocola with this campaign, prior to launching an online store. We are excited to receive your pledges and feedback. Thank you.

Ties to home

My name is Valentine Ugo Ezenwa. As a proud Nigerian, based in the US, Mocola is my way of sharing a part of my culture with the world. In this video, I touch on the cultural significance of kola nut to people of my ethnicity, the Igbos of Nigeria. Thank you for supporting this campaign. 

Start your day with Mocola!
