Very Yummy
"I really enjoy the flavour of this cacao. I compare it to a powdered cacao I buy locally and it’s so much better. I think the difference is the vanilla, it really enhances the chocolate flavour."

Special edition offering in collaboration with the Arhuaco tribe.
Please note, if you are new to KAKAO, this Arhuaco Cacao from Colombia is not our signature offering. If you are looking for the "tried & true" KAKAO made from Peruvian and/or Guatemala heirloom cacao beans, click here.
I have a few special posts/short videos about my time in Colombia, meeting the Arhuacos and the inspiring journey of beginning this sacred ally-ship. Please click these links to learn more about what has gone into this deeply moving project. Do not miss the free two-hour ceremony with special storytelling & bonus Arhuaco interviews: youtube playlist click here to be connected to the story of how this came to life and those behind this healing medicine from the "Heart of the World."
The Ike tribe (Arhuacos) carry a purity that deeply moved me while I was in Colombia in March this year.
There was/is a magic in the mountains where this cacao is grown, which I know you will palpably pick up on when you drink it.
You can order it now in both the Pure and the Signature Blend. It is available in 240g bags (6 servings), all the way up to bulk bags.
I am eager to hear from everyone how this new offering lands in your body and heart. May it serve you well! 🤍🤍
PS. Huge & special thanks to everyone behind this offering: Kelsey Faith, Sun Nation, Asdrubel Torres, Candy Wheeler, Bunkwaney Maku, Carlos Ignacio Velasco, Mayumi Ogata & the entire team on the ground.

Amazing!
"Amazing taste ! I think I prefer the original kakao blend but this one is very good as well."
Probably the best food on the planet
"Arhuaco is a unique body and texture with flavor that surpasses any other cacao I have ever tasted. It works well with coconut milk but I personally prefer it with unsweetened almond milk. On a mental or spiritual note, it reduces your stress, calms your nervous system, and eases your overthinking mind so you can focus better. 10/10"
"The best ceremonial cacao."
Incredible, magic
"This cacao gives me such a boost in mood, energy and creativity. It also keeps me active and exercising. I gifted it to a friend with a journal and it made for a beautiful gift. I’ve also brought it to my friends cabin where we enjoyed a cacao ceremony and journal sesssion. Wonderful!"
I am in LOVE with this cacao.
"Definitely my new favorite. I've been using kakao medicine for many years to reconnect back to earth and to myself. But the moment I tasted Arhuaco cacao I still remember the strong feeling I got. The medicine was so potent and I felt so much energy in my heart. This medicinal chocolate is truly powerful and I'm so grateful to have access to it."
Wow
"This is amazing. I don't know why you have to put a title for a review it's kind of. . ."
So Amazing!
"Thank you for creating this, it’s amazing"
very special
"that is how I describe this medicine from Colombia and KaKao. . . very special I have been so lucky with my ceremonial cacao as I have been able to source it out either on my own in the places I have been or through other sisters who travel. But as in all life, things do not remain the same, so I found myself out of my ceremonial cacao with circles getting close. This was my first time ordering from Kakao and it will not be my last. It is clear that this is authentic and honoured cacao. The taste was spot on, so delicious and the medicine soft and magical. Thank you so much for your care with this offering. I will be back!"
Outstanding Kakao
"Put in one heaping teaspoon of Cacao within my morning ritual blend of green, healing herbal, rooibos and yerbe mate teas to gratefully welcome in the new day as a lifetime. A loving everyday greeting to life. Thank you for the purity of this natural gift."
