Pure ceremonial-grade cacao is naturally bitter and therefore can be mixed with sweetener & additions of choice. See recipe on the Preparation page and enjoy this powerful, heart opening medicine.
KAKAO is a high-vibe, ceremonial-grade drinking chocolate made from whole cacao beans. Our cacao is sourced from Peru in the native strain called 'Chuncho' via direct trade.
A large part of KAKAO's non-profit mission is to help protect the native strains of cacao and the communities which cultivate them.

Ingredients & Nutrition
Ingredients:
- 100% Whole cacao beans (stone-ground into a paste and then chopped for your convenience)
All of our ingredients are directly sourced in Peru from small, wild farms that are natively owned.
KAKAO is not sold as a block. But rest assured, this is Cacao Paste that you're looking for. If KAKAO was left in the sun, it would melt and return to its original block form, which we simply chopped in a food processor for your convenience! In non-summer months, it will arrive to your doorstep as a granular product that you can scoop easily with a tablespoon.

Learn how our KAKAO blessings came to be.
Introducing the May blessing of KAKAO: The PACHAMAMA Edition.
With this edition of KAKAO we honor our beloved Mother Earth. We recognize she is capable of healing herself, and therefore healing us.
The health and vitality of our bodies relies on the nourishment of the natural world. Our fertility relies on her fertility.
Our creativity relies on our connection with her cycles.
She has the power to heal us, revitalize us, and detoxify us from *anything* harmful, over and over again.
We turn to her now. We RETURN to her now.
With this cup of cacao, Pachamama edition, we share the love of our hearts and the energy of our spirits with Mother Earth, her soil, her plants, her waters and beyond. In return we receive her medicine.
We honor the animals that walk this earth. We give gratitude for their service to us humans on every level.
We tune into the plant, animal, mineral, and insect kingdoms. May aliveness bless our planet across all natural kingdoms.
We call on our ancestors and the indigenous keepers of the land who hold all memory. We access their wisdom within our own DNA. They are surrounding us right now in this pivotal moment in time.
We receive the Mother’s embrace as we put our bare feet on the ground, as we lay on the earth and drink in the most important nutrient - Her. As we sip our kakao, smell the essential oils, take in clean food from plants or animals, sit in healing ceremonies, and breathe in wilderness regularly, we tune into Pachamama and remember her Ultimate Truth.
Lastly, we honor the cycles of life that are so perfectly depicted by mama Gaia. The cycles of life and death, death and rebirth. Every season and all of the phases. May we remember that in every low there is a high, in every death there is a renewal, in every night there is a sunrise. May we worship every gosh darn moment of it.
The PACHAMAMA Edition is available for all orders placed in May 2021.
