Ceremonial Grade Cacao Paste – Andean Cacao

Ceremonial Grade Cacao Paste | 100% Pure Organic Andean Cacao | Ethically Sourced from Quillabamba, Cusco, Peru

Our Andean Cacao was grown in the valleys of Quillabamba, La Convención, Cusco, Peru, a place hot during the daytime and cold during the nights. It is made from the unique Chuncho (Nativo) beans, organic certified, and cold processed in raw food quality. There are no hybrid plants involved.

The Chuncho Cacao is geographically located in the valleys of the Convention, in the region Cusco, a native crop that was domesticated by the native community “Matsiguengas”, although the largest extensions of cacao were first planted more than a hundred years ago.

As it is known, Cusco is the only region with this variety of cacao in Peru, which is distinguished from other improved cacaos by its unique attributes, such as its incomparable and distinctive aroma and flavor, and its creamy texture.

Moreover, it contains more fat content during the preparation of the cacao drink, which is a characteristic that is easily recognizable. Chuncho is a Peruvian native breed of cacao that has a distinctive cacao flavor with an intense aroma, citrus notes, dried fruits and nuts, medium bitterness, low acidity, and unique flavor because it boosts the flavor of chocolate fused with spices, nuts such as pecans, hints of lemon verbena, and peach.

The native Chuncho Cacao trees are cultivated by smallholder farmers that grow cacao in sustainable agriculture techniques protecting the valleys and environment. All farmers involved are cooperating on international fair-trade standards.

It is high in magnesium, helping you relax, and theobromine which is a stimulant slightly more gentle than caffeine. Anandamide and other feel-good molecules as well as a precursor to serotonin.

❖ Ceremonial Cacao
Our Andean Ceremonial Cacao Paste is made with respect for this wonderful plant, love and care from the farmers and producers, and much gratitude for what it offers us. Enjoying this amazing natural medicine in a ceremony (whether exclusively for oneself or to share it with others) allows us to awake our hearts to the aliveness that arises from within and to listen and reconnect to our inner voice. Cacao can also guide you in healing processes and, of course, can support you on a deeper level if you allow this medicine to work with you. Drinking cacao in a group ceremony helps you connect with others, allowing you to be gentler with yourself and with your community.
