Our cacao is sourced from a beautiful region in Chiapas, Mexico called Soconusco. This region is known as the “birthplace of cacao” and has long held the ancient wisdom of cacao through the Olmecs and Mayans over millennia.

According to some experts, the best chocolate in the world is grown here. The rare criollo variety, with small pods and few seeds, is where the magic lies. These beans contain the highest levels of ceremonial goodies like theobromine, endocannabanoids like anandamide, flavanols and polyphenols. Plus, this variety of cacao produces a smooth, fruit forward chocolate that has been produced in a particular way for thousands of years.

The family run business we work with who processes our cacao for us has been doing so for generations, and works hard to protect the rare variety of criollo from hybridization so it doesn’t go extinct.

They also protect the rights of their cacao farmers, and their processing facility is completely solar powered. This co-op is also USDA Certified Fair Trade and Organic.

We are proud to serve you some of the best cacao we could possibly find after years and years of searching. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have. May every drink, bite, sniff, nibble, and experience created with our cacao be blessed with love, health, and Alegria (joy).

With love,

Krystal & Carlos
