Step into a deeper state of connection with our beautiful Criollo cacao, ethically sourced from the Asháninka tribes of Satipo, Junin, nestled in the lush VRAEM region of Peru, where the Apurímac, Ene, and Mantaro rivers weave through ancient rainforest. This sacred land is not only rich in biodiversity but is also home to vibrant Indigenous communities who have cultivated cacao for generations with deep reverence for nature.
Our cacao is made from the rare Criollo variety, considered the finest and most delicate of all cacao strains. Grown organically and processed minimally, this cacao is hand-picked and prepared by Asháninka farmers honouring ancestrial traditions. Their commitment to sustainable agroforestry helps protect the Amazon while preserving a rich cultural legacy.
The result is a pure, potent cacao paste with a complex flavour profile, floral and clean, with gentle bitterness and bright citrus notes. Rich in theobromine, it offers a natural and sustained energy boost without the crash of caffeine, making it ideal for heart-opening rituals, focused work, or mindful movement.
Whether you’re entering ceremony, deepening your meditation practice, dancing through somatic exploration, or simply seeking clarity and nourishment, this cacao is a grounding and uplifting ally.
This is more than just cacao, it’s a sacred plant ally. A cup of this cacao is an invitation to slow down, listen within, and reconnect with what matters most.

Discover the extraordinary with our Amazonas Ceremonial Cacao, an exquisite gift from the fertile heart of Peru’s Amazon. Grown in the lush lowlands shaped by the mighty Marañón River, this cacao flourishes among vibrant vegetation, gentle hills, and nutrient-rich soils, ancestral lands of the Awajún and Wampís tribes, two resilient Indigenous communities whose connection to the forest runs soul-deep.
For these tribes, the Amazon is sacred. Nature is not just a resource but a living deity—home to spirits that guard the waters, heal disease, and protect the forest. This reverence flows through every aspect of their cacao cultivation. Planted alongside oranges, bananas, and other fruit trees, their cacao grows within a richly biodiverse, sustainable agroforestry system that nourishes both land and livelihood.
To the Awajún and Wampís, cacao is more than a crop, it’s a cornerstone of survival and sovereignty. It sustains families, funds education, and supports community wellbeing, all while preserving cultural identity and ancestral wisdom.
This pure cacao paste offers a flavour experience as vibrant and complex as the region itself. A bold chocolate base unfolds into warm notes of roasted hazelnut, layered with a subtle caramel sweetness, and finishing with whispers of liquorice and coffee. Deep, indulgent, and multi-dimensional, it’s a celebration of terroir and tradition.
Embark on a sensory journey with Amazonas Cacao, where every sip connects you to the forest, the people, and the sacred spirit of the Amazon.
