OUR CACAO

Our ceremonial cacao pastes are healing and heart opening elixirs produced and blessed respecting and honoring Pachamama and the Awajún and Chavin indigenous tribes of Peru. This high-vibrational cacao is rescuing the sacred traditions of cacao in Peru which date back over 5,000 years, rescuing farmers from the illegal drug trade by providing a living wage alternative and rescuing the Amazon from deforestation. Made with absolute reverence to the ancient people who have cultivated it for thousands of years. Ethically sourced, sustainably produced and scientifically analysed to prove it to be the most medicinal and healing. Indigenous plant wisdom made by indigenous people.
