🌱 Cacao Origin | Alta Verapaz, Guatemala

Our cacao is organically and ethically sourced from Indigenous Q’eqchi’ Maya communities in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, a region known for cacao carrying ancient Criollo genetics blended naturally with subtle Trinitario notes. Cultivated beneath the rainforest canopy within biodiverse agroforestry systems, the cacao reflects generations of traditional farming knowledge and deep respect for land and culture.

The cacao beans are sun-dried, hand-sorted, and stone-ground, preserving their depth of flavour, aroma, and ceremonial character from harvest to cup.

𓍊𓋼 Key Ingredient: Chaga Mushroom | Dual-Extracted 15:1

Chaga mushroom is included as part of this ceremonial cacao blend as a traditionally valued mushroom, chosen for its deep, earthy character and natural harmony with cacao. It allows the cacao and spices to remain at the forefront while adding depth and balance to the blend’s overall character.

In Divine Strength, we source a concentrated dual-extracted 15:1 Chaga extract from a family-run operation located within a national forest in Estonia. This wild-harvested Chaga mushroom is crafted using both water and alcohol extraction methods, which ensures capturing the full character of the mushroom while integrating smoothly into cacao-based ceremonial preparations

✧ Traditional Maya Spices

This ceremonial cacao blend is gently warmed with traditional Maya spices selected for their aromatic qualities and long-standing cultural relationship with cacao. Each element in this ceremonial cacao blend is chosen with care — not to dominate, but to support the overall composition.

Cayenne pepper has long been traditionally paired with cacao in Mesoamerican preparations, bringing subtle warmth and depth that enhances the sensory experience without overpowering the cacao.

Ceylon cinnamon is prized for its soft, aromatic sweetness and gently warming character. It rounds out the spice profile and contributes to the smooth, layered depth of the blend.

Vanilla, native to Mesoamerica, has been paired with cacao since ancient Maya times. Its delicate aroma softens the earthiness of cacao and spices, bringing harmony and gentle sweetness to the composition.

Together, cacao, mushroom, and spice are intentionally composed into a balanced ceremonial blend shaped by tradition and sensory harmony. Each element plays a distinct role in flavour, aroma, and depth, allowing the character of the cacao to remain at the forefront while supporting a smooth, grounded, and warming cup. This considered infusion reflects both ancestral knowledge and contemporary ceremonial craft, offering a distinct expression within the Herbal Cacao collection, suited for mindful ritual preparation and intentional daily moments.
