Ceremonial Grade Organic Cacao

100% Pure Artisanal Guatemalan Cacao, processed by our indigenous women’s collective

Organic Guatemalan Cacao

This Ruk’u’x Ulew (”Heart of the Earth”) cacao is grown at an indigenous family farm in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Once harvested, the cacao is sent to Lake Atitlán, where a women’s collective carefully selects the best beans and roasts them over a wood fire. The result is a delicious artisanal cacao with a smooth, toasted, traditionally chocolate flavor. Naturally Gluten-Free & Vegan.

Cacao has been celebrated as “Food of the Gods” in Central and South America since ancient times, long before the chocolate industry altered the original treasure.

Every purchase of this cacao supports Mayan indigenous people through ethical direct trade, and helps them preserve their spiritual traditions and values.

How to Prepare your Ceremonial Cacao Drink

To make a drink of luscious ceremonial cacao, finely chop the cacao paste. Measure 2 tbsp per 8 oz of hot water (steaming but not boiling). Stir together until cacao is fully melted. Enjoy! Optional: Add a dash of cayenne pepper and natural sweetener to taste.

Cacao can also be added to smoothies, oatmeal, ice cream, and other foods. Experiment with making your own chocolates or bliss balls!
