Asháninka Ceremonial Cacao (Criollo variety)
 
Discover a rare and sacred expression of cacao, cultivated in harmony with the ancestral traditions of the Asháninka people of the Peruvian Amazon. Sourced from the biodiverse forests surrounding Río Abiseo National Park in Mariscal Cáceres, San Martín, this region is revered not only for its exceptional cacao genetics, but for the deep spiritual relationship between land, plant, and people. Grown in small, regenerative agroforestry systems, this cacao is nurtured by indigenous farmers who honour the rhythms of the jungle. Each harvest is carried out with intention and respect, preserving both ecological balance and cultural heritage.
 
The cacao is freshly harvested, then naturally fermented and sun-dried using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. It is minimally processed to retain its full spectrum of nutrients, energetic qualities, and rich, complex flavour profile. The result is a pure, potent ceremonial cacao, unrefined, unadulterated, and alive with character.
 
Used for centuries by the Asháninka in ritual and daily life, cacao is regarded as a plant teacher, one that opens the heart, grounds the body, and deepens connection to self, community, and nature. This ceremonial-grade cacao invites you into that lineage, offering a space for reflection, intention-setting, and inner clarity.
 
With its deep, earthy taste and naturally smooth texture, this cacao is ideal for sacred ceremonies, meditation practices, or simply as a nourishing daily ritual.
