Our Ecuador Ceremonial Cacao
Discover the Magic of Ceremonial Grade Cacao from Ecuador
Do you ever feel like all you need is a loving, warm embrace to hold you through the storms of life?
That is what our Cacao offers you.
What we love the most about this cacao isn’t just her beautiful flavour and mothering essence, but HER POWER.
She holds you close and in her own image, complete and perfect as you are in every moment, reminding you in every ceremony that you are worthy of her love.
And yes, this all sounds very feminine but trust us, this is for the Shiva too!
Men are working with our cacao and receiving the strength to soften and slow down to their natural state of wellbeing and awareness which is truly magnificent to see.
Our cacao is for ALL! No matter your race, age, gender, shape or religion/belief system!
(even our children enjoy cacao in very low doses!)
These are not empty words, this is the truth for what we and others who have worked with our cacao have experienced.
The Rich History of Ecuadorian Cacao & Images of Our Cacao in Process
Ecuador has the longest known relationship with cacao, dating back thousands of years to the ancient civilizations that once thrived in this region. The indigenous peoples, before the Mayo-Chinchipe culture, were among the first to cultivate and consume cacao, using it in sacred ceremonies and as a form of currency.
A soft and rounded Nacional hybrid with clear roasted nut and red fruit overtones, carried on a body of maple, mild spice, and buttery cacao warmth.

Born from the sacred soils of Ecuador’s coastal Esmeraldas region, this cacao carries the ancestral lineage of Nacional, one of the world’s oldest and most revered cacao varietals. With roots stretching back thousands of years to the first cacao cultivators of the Upper Amazon, Nacional is more than a bean — it is a bridge between the ancient and the present, between the Earth and the heart.
Our Cacao is grown in biodiverse agroforestry by a small family-run farm, where each pod is hand-harvested with care and devotion. This is not industrial cacao — it is living medicine, tended in rhythm with nature’s cycles and offered in the spirit of reverence.
