🌱 Cacao Origin: Maya Mountain | Belize

Signature Blend is crafted with ceremonial-grade heirloom Criollo cacao sourced from the Indigenous Mopan and Q’eqchi’ Maya communities of Maya Mountain in southern Belize.

This region is known for its deep-rooted cacao heritage and sustainable agroforestry practices. Cacao trees are cultivated beneath the rainforest canopy within biodiverse ecosystems, reflecting generations of traditional farming knowledge and a profound respect for land, culture, and craft.

The cacao beans are sun-dried, hand-sorted, and stone-ground, preserving the cacao’s natural aroma, texture, and integrity from harvest to cup.

✧ Traditional Maya Spices

Signature Blend honours the timeless pairing of cacao with spice, a practice embedded within Maya ceremonial traditions.

Cayenne pepper has long been used in cacao preparations to bring warmth and intensity to the blend, adding depth and contrast to the richness of the cacao.
Cinnamon contributes a softly spiced aroma and gentle sweetness, creating balance, roundness, and harmony within the blend.
Vanilla, native to Mesoamerica, has been paired with cacao since ancient times. Its delicate, aromatic softness refines the blend, gently softening the cacao’s earthiness and completing the sensory composition.

These spices are carefully balanced to enhance its natural depth, warmth, and complexity, allowing the character of the cacao to remain at the forefront. Together, cacao and spice form a balanced ceremonial blend shaped by ancestral knowledge and sensory harmony. A traditional expression within the Herbal Cacao collection.

✧ Collaboration at Heart

Our cacao from the Maya Mountains of Belize is created in close partnership with Indigenous Mopan and Q’eqchi’ Maya family farmers, whose relationship with cacao stretches back thousands of years. Here, cacao is cultivated within biodiverse forest gardens, guided by ancestral knowledge, ceremony, and deep respect for the land.

Through long-standing relationships and direct collaboration, this cacao supports community-led livelihoods, the preservation of heirloom Criollo genetics, and a way of farming rooted in reciprocity rather than extraction. Each harvest reflects a shared commitment to dignity, cultural continuity, and care for future generations.
