We offer you the sharing of cultural heritage, ancestral traditions, a true superfood and medicine for the heart, and all whilst taking great care of our MOTHER EARTH and her indigenous children.
We encourage you to sit with your cacao, to set your intentions, give thanks and explore your inner kingdom!
MOTHER EARTH CACAO is sourced from 100% Mayan owned collectives of indigenous mothers who artisanally produce our Cacao products.
The cacao beans are roasted, hand-peeled and ground by this wonderful team before then being moulded into our smooth blocks of rich Cacao paste.
MOTHER EARTH CACAO is of single origin.
Our native ‘criollo’ cacao beans are
sourced directly from our farmers in a remote mountainous region called Suchitepéquez; a highland region in Southwestern Guatemala.
Here our cacao is organically grown, harvested, fermented and dried before being transported to the small Kaqchikel village of San Marcos La Laguna on the shores of Lake Atitlan.
Signifying life and fertility, it’s thought that Cacao was first used as a health elixir and ceremonial medicine as far back as 1900 BC by the ancestors of Central America; the Olmec people, before becoming a ritualistic medicine used by the Aztec and Mayan cultures.
Theobroma Cacao is rich in magnesium, potassium, iron, and theobromine. This superfood provides the body with nutrients, antioxidants and also the neurotransmitters serotonin, tryptophan and dopamine, which help to feel good, combat stress and harness renewed motivation.
The phenylethylamine content also helps the body to create feelings of excitement and euphoria, while opening up creativity and flow.
MOTHER EARTH CACAO invites you to enjoy a ceremonial mug of delicious Mayan Cacao.
Our 100% Ceremonial Grade Cacao can also be added to smoothies, porridge, granola, protein balls, dessert recipes and so much more!
