Ceremonial Cacao Tuzantán · Chiapas, Mexico

Cacao Paste Drink 

👐 Our Commitment: We believe in the unique allure of the cacao ritual and its history rooted in Mesoamerican culture. For this reason, we have created a pure cacao paste, artisanally stone-milled, maintaining a raw texture and authentic aroma. A sensory and nutritional experience to discover every aspect of this natural superfood.

🌳 Origin: A Deep Collaboration

Tuzantán is the name we chose for this cacao, grown near the municipality of Tuzantán in Chiapas. It is meticulously processed by the "El Vado" cocoa growers' association, made up of 14 cacao-growing families. They have formed a strategic alliance with Finca La Rioja, where the cocoa is graded, fermented, and dried. Through this alliance, they are seeking to preserve the nature of their land, reclaiming and valorizing the cacao that has always been present in this area since the Olmec era, as well as finding sustainable employment options for the local people.

Ingredients: 100% stone-ground cacao beans (nothing removed, nothing added)

Why Pure Cacao? Cacao is considered sacred by the people of our Mesoamerican region for a reason: it's a natural reserve of nutrients and functional compounds that can support the nervous system, improve emotional well-being, and boost a positive mood. It's rich in antioxidant flavonoids and tryptophan, an amino acid that promotes serotonin production for a mood-enhancing effect. It also activates the "bliss molecule," anandamide, which provides a sense of well-being.

How to Prepare Your Ritual: Cut out about 20g of cacao, heat water (180-200ml) or a plant-based drink, and melt the cacao slowly to preserve its aroma and properties. For a holistic preparation, add spices like cinnamon or ginger and create your ritual space. Breathe, set your intention, and let the cacao guide you.
