It is truly an honour to stock Cacao Collective exclusively here in London. This Cacao blew my heart open in so many ways, quite often after drinking I will cry with love, happiness, joy, release. The energy it carries is so pure and special and it feels like a true privelege to drink this artisanal Cacao.

These bricks are made in small quantities as they come directly from the Kogui community, they are hand made and they are sacred. To not put pressure on the communities making this sacred medicine, this means I have only received a very small quantity of this Cacao, and it will be restocked more sporadically than the other Cacaos I stock. It’s special, I’d recommend grabbing a block whilst you can.  

This 100% Heirloom Ceremonial Cacao paste (500gr) is sourced directly from a Kogui community in Colombia.

The ‘Jaba’ variety (meaning Mother Earth) is organically grown in the sacred lands of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta following the perfect rhythms of nature. It is hand harvested, fermented, sun dried, roasted on wood fire, peeled and ground with care, to preserve all its nutritional value. It carries the prayers and blessings of the ‘Mamos’ (Indigenous Kogui spiritual leaders) and intention of the community that grows the Cacao trees.

The Kogui are one of the four remaining Indigenous peoples who live in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (The heart of the world). Through their work as “The Guardians of the Earth” their purpose in life is to care for her and to keep the balance & harmony of the world through sacred sites located across the Sierra Nevada, which act as sites of balance for the rest of the world.

They were moved out of their ancestral lands since colonisation and have only recently been able to recover some of this territory where they traditionally grow this Cacao.

Flavour Profile: Nutty, smokey, coffee & caramel (These are tasting notes and not ingredients).
