This ceremonial cacao comes from the lush Amazonian rainforests of Satipo, Peru, where Asháninka cooperatives handcraft the beans in harmony with the living pulse of the jungle. The Asháninka people are guardians of the rainforest and keepers of ancient wisdom. They cultivate cacao through community-led agroforestry and use methods that protects native trees, wildlife, and soil health while sustaining ancestral traditions.
Each bean grows amidst one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, grown organically and shaped only by the natural forces of sun, rain, and wind. Hand-harvested and sun-fermented beneath open skies, it carries the imprint of generations of traditional knowledge. Each package of cacao has received songs, blessings and loving energy to help you open your heart.
Made from ceremonial-grade Criollo cacao, one of the world’s rarest and most prized varieties, this cacao is Fair Trade certified and grown completely without chemicals - only with care, reverence, and respect for the land. By sharing their craft, the Asháninka people strengthen their ability to preserve both culture and the forest, protecting biodiversity and sustaining their connection to the Earth, while inviting us to honor a more conscious, heart-centered way of living, one cup at a time.
