Amazing Cacao

The aroma and taste is fantastic. The experience of drinking the cacao and the connection with it and the medicine it brings is outstanding. I was even impressed with the visual of it. I have had other cacao that was grainy in my cup. This is definitely pure cacao.

I really appreciate how consciously this cacao was grown, harvested, and prepared before I even received it. It tastes lovely and I’ve already used it in multiple ceremonies.

Heart of the Earth (Ruk'u'x Ulew) 100% Pure Ceremonial Cacao from Guatemala

NOTE: 1LB PRE-GROUND BAGS ARE OUT OF STOCK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

CHOOSE YOUR TYPE AND AMOUNT ABOVE! NOTE: SEEDS ARE ROASTED AND PEELED, AND NIBS ARE CRUSHED SEEDS. BOTH ARE STILL CRUNCHY AND USED FOR SNACKING OR FOR DECORATION. TO MAKE CACAO DRINKS, SELECT ONE OF THE PASTE OPTIONS.

This Ruk’u’x Ulew (”Heart of the Earth”) cacao is grown at an indigenous family farm in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Once harvested, the cacao is sent to Lake Atitlán, where a women’s collective carefully selects the best beans and roasts them over a wood fire. The result is a delicious artisanal cacao with a toasted, traditional chocolate flavor, hint of blackberry, and a "grandmother" spirit. *Our labels and branding are approved by the producers, and we have their consent to share the cacao for the betterment of humanity.*

*amounts are per 1oz of cacao paste

Cacao has been considered sacred in Mesoamerica for thousands of years, long before the chocolate industry altered the original treasure. It has numerous superfood benefits, and can also deepen introspective practices like yoga and meditation.

Every purchase of this cacao supports Mayan indigenous people through ethical direct trade, and helps them preserve their spiritual traditions and values. For more info about us and our partners, visit our Sources page.


DIRECTIONS
To make a drink of ceremonial cacao, finely chop the cacao. Measure 1/4 cup ground cacao and 6-8 oz of hot water (steaming but not boiling). Mix with a blender (with caution!), handheld frother, or other agitator to fully melt the cacao. Optional: Add a dash of cayenne pepper and natural sweetener to taste. Enjoy!

Cacao can also be added to smoothies, oatmeal, ice cream, and other foods. Experiment with making your own chocolates or bliss balls!
