Cacao comes from the tree, Theobroma Cacao which translates to “Food of the Gods”. It's full of antioxidants and contains magnesium, zinc and is the highest plant-based source of iron. 
 
Cacao enhances the release of dopamine, the feel-good chemical, and also serotonin. It’s a heart opener that promotes feelings of well-being and is a natural energy booster.
 
Cacao is a versatile plant medicine grown in Central & South America. It’s a superfood that’s been used for centuries to heal on an emotional, spiritual and physical level. The word Cacao comes from the Mayan word for the bean
“Ka-Kau”.
 
Conscious Cacao
 
Our ceremonial grade cacao is from the rare and highly sought chuncho bean that is native to southern Peru. Cacao chuncho features higher amounts of cocoa butter, causing a more creamy and less bitter taste. More subtle aromas create a lovely profile that grows in delight with each sip and requires little to no sweetener. The cacao easily melts into liquid, providing a smooth drinking experience.
 
Our consciously farmed cacao originates from a Fair Trade International and USDA Organic certified cooperative of small family farms in southern Peru that includes members of the indigenous Matsigenka community and is approximately 40% women. Many families in the cooperative have nourished cacao for generations. Your purchase of Conscious Cacao supports long-term sustainability of their communities! 
 
We have a blessing ceremony for each batch that infuses the plant with love and shamanic energy to empower your personal healing. In addition to ceremonial uses, our incredibly diverse cacao chuncho may be utilized as a daily coffee replacement, hot chocolate treat, and even in baking.
