About These Ceremonial Grade Cacao Beans from Bolivia

These beans come from the El Ceibo cooperative, a collective of more than 1,200 small-scale farmers in Bolivia. The cacao grows in agroforestry systems, where the trees stand alongside fruit trees and other crops. This traditional way of farming shapes the depth of flavour and gives the product a clear sense of place. Each bean is fermented and dried with care to protect quality and taste, resulting in 100% pure cacao without additives.

Cacao has a long history within ceremonial settings around the world, valued for the ritual and attention that surround its preparation. These whole ceremonial grade beans give you full control over how you work with them, from crumbling into recipes to preparing a traditional cacao drink.
