Maya Mountain Heritage & Sacred Traditions

This blend honors the ancient Maya relationship with cacao, where it served as both medicine and sacred connector. In Maya culture, cacao ceremonies were integral to community healing and spiritual practice. The specific Maya Mountain region where our cacao originates has been cultivating this sacred plant for over 3,000 years.

The traditional three-stage drying process used by indigenous farmers preserves both the medicinal properties and the spirit of the cacao. This method, passed down through generations, involves careful timing with the sun's cycles to optimize the development of beneficial compounds.

The addition of Chaga reflects both ancient and modern understanding of mushroom medicine, creating a bridge between traditional wisdom and contemporary immune support needs.
