This is their first NEW CACAO release in a couple of years, and we're incredibly excited to share it with you!
Let this cacao fill you with joy! Its generous spirit carries the heartbeat of the Semuliki Forest - a lush, tropical rainforest beneath the soaring Rwenzori mountains that form the border between the Congo and Uganda, and are also part of the Nile River headwaters.
This cacao is grown by over 50% female farmers who imbue this cacao with their strength & spirit. 70% of the farmers are under the age of 35, so this cacao contributes good livelihood to a vibrant young generation of farmers.
Work with this cacao to experience strengthening in your soul and your power. It feels like a steady drumbeat under the mountain. Enjoy consistent and classic chocolate flavour notes reminding us of a childhood hot cocoa, chocolate fudge and chocolate truffles.

HOW TO PREPARE CACAO -
Step 1 - Combine between 20 cacao discs (0.8oz) to 25 cacao discs (1.0oz) with a touch of sweetener (or drink pure)
Step 2 - Add 3/4 cup (6oz) hot water, tea, or mylk ~ 180°F
Step 3 - Use a blender or electric frother to mix for 10 seconds. This creates much better texture than just stirring.
CERTIFICATIONS & LAB TEST RESULTS
1. Organic & Regenerative - all of our cacao is certified organic by Organic Certifiers. We only source from farms practicing regenerative agroforestry.
2. Heavy Metals - we lab test all of our cacao. You can see our test results here.
3. Caffeine & Theobromine - our pure cacaos contain 36mg of caffeine and 212mg of Theobromine. Though because of the fat from the cacao butter, the caffeine is released slowly and gently.
