Please note, if you are new to KAKAO, this Arhuaco Cacao from Colombia is not our signature offering. If you are looking for the "tried & true" KAKAO made from Peruvian and/or Guatemala heirloom cacao beans, click here.

I have a few special posts/short videos about my time in Colombia, meeting the Arhuacos and the inspiring journey of beginning this sacred ally-ship. Please click these links to learn more about what has gone into this deeply moving project: Post 1. Post 2. Post 3. Post 4.

There is so much to share about how this incredible, heart opening cacao came to life. Each person behind this offering is near and dear to my heart, and I know each of us are excited to share more with you all.

The Ike tribe (Arhuacos) carry a purity that deeply moved me while I was in Colombia in March this year.

There was/is a magic in the mountains where this cacao is grown, which I know you will palpably pick up on when you drink it.

In September we will be sharing various offerings & interviews to connect you further to the story and those behind this healing medicine from the "Heart of the World."

These online offerings will be complimentary for anyone in the USA that orders the Arhuaco cacao in Aug or Sept. Please order your product now to receive in time for the immersion. For all other countries, it will be complimentary for anyone that has ordered any KAKAO product from July 1st onward.

You can order it now in both the Pure and the Signature Blend on the USA site. It is available in 240g bags (6 servings), all the way up to bulk bags.

I am eager to hear from everyone how this new offering lands in your body and heart. May it serve you well! 🤍🤍

Cacao Paste Made With Whole Native Cacao Beans*

*Specific strain/variety: Cacao Chuncho from Peru

Stone Ground, Minimally Processed and Produced with Intention

Never tempered or conched. Stone ground only. Whole beans always.

NOT a block (in non-summer months)

KAKAO is not sold as a solid block, but rather as a granular product that you can easily scoop.

But rest assured, this is Ceremonial Cacao Paste that you're looking for.

If KAKAO was left in the sun, it would melt and return to its original block form, which we simply chopped in a food processor for your convenience.

In non-summer months, it will arrive to your doorstep as a granular product that you can scoop easily with a tablespoon.

If your KAKAO melts while in transit, click here for instructions.
