Pure Kakaw - Alta Verapaz - 100% cocoa from Guatemala
This cacao grows in the organic food forest of Finca El Porvenir. The Mayans have a long tradition of cacao preparation that still exists. On the farm, the rare criollo variety is naturally regrown.
The cacao is hand selected and traditionally prepared with knowledge passed down through generations, intended for high quality cacao beverages. It is minimally processed, preserving all the healthy and active nutrients, resulting in a high quality ceremonial cacao. Treated with love, care and intention for cacao beverages that are both powerful in spirit and effect.
The farm naturally re-cultivates the rare criollo cacao variety from seed. The white cacao seeds are hand-selected, germinated and when strong enough, planted between other trees. A combination of grafting and growing the cacao naturally from seed supports the natural diversity. This cacao is a natural mix of criollo and other varieties. The taste is softer and the effect is stronger, which is nice in a pure drink.
The organic agroforestry methods used on the farm create a healthy natural environment where nature thrives. The diversity of plants and animals creates a beautiful place and an example of how food can be grown.
