This Ruk’u’x Ulew (”Heart of the Earth”) cacao is grown at an indigenous family farm in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Once harvested, the cacao is sent to Lake Atitlán, where a women’s collective carefully selects the best beans and roasts them over a wood fire. The result is a delicious artisanal cacao with a toasted, traditional chocolate flavor, hint of blackberry, and a "grandmother" spirit. *Our labels and branding are approved by the producers, and we have their consent to share the cacao for the betterment of humanity.* Cacao has been considered sacred in Mesoamerica for thousands of years, long before the chocolate industry altered the original treasure.
