Ceremonial Cacao - 100% Arriba Nacional Cacao

Open your heart with Cacao. Sourced from biodiverse farms in northern Ecuador, this Cacao receives the utmost care and intention at every step of the journey to your cup. The Cacao seeds are raised using regenerative agricultural practices and traditionally fermented. They are then toasted at low heat to maintain their nutritional value and bring out delicate notes of coconut, citrus, and flowers. Nothing added, ever. Simply pure, high-vibration cacao at its finest! Arriba Nacional is the heirloom variety of Ecuadorian Cacao. Known for its delicious floral flavors and pungent aromas, it is but 1% of Ecuador’s Cacao production. This high-vibrational variety with its complex flavor profile is being replaced by GMO Cacao varieties, which are more homogeneous and higher-yielding but less flavorful and nutritious. Our Cacao is made with what remains of the old-growth Cacao trees still present in the province of Manabí, along the banks of the Portoviejo river.
