IMPORTANT NOTICE: All orders will be shipped by Thanksgiving 2024
Due to climate change, we are seeing a decrease in cacao production in Guatemala. Climate change is affecting what is available for us to source. Our goal is to be sustainable and source only what is available.
Scroll below to learn more about each origin we are sourcing this year.
The Three Sisters ceremonial grade cacao is ethically and sustainably harvested by a small team, but mighty team of local farmers in Guatemala.
Each batch of cacao is carefully fermented, dried, and toasted. The artisanal processing of the seeds allows for an extraordinarily high-quality control.
Hand peeling ensures that each bean is in the perfect state. All of the beans are criollo cacao hybrids cultivated in farmer-owned lands.
Each purchase of our cacao ensures that local farmers can grow organic cacao, continue sustainable indigenous agro-forestry practices, and empower communities by paying them a living wage, and ensuring that their families thrive.
