Origin of Cacao
About a dozen varieties of Theobroma cacao are known, but four main types are cultivated worldwide: Criollo (5%), Forastero (80%), Trinitario (10-15%) and Nacional (>1%).
Our cacao is grown by dedicated farmers who take responsibility for our wonderful world.
Fortunately, because this means that farmers are using traditional cultivation and harvesting methods to protect Mother Earth's resources.
After harvesting, the cocoa beans undergo a natural fermentation and are gently roasted in the warm Peruvian and Ecuadorian sun before being processed into a high-quality and pure cocoa mass.
This cacao enchants with its incomparably delicate taste and is known for its powerful and heart-opening properties that deeply touch both body and soul.

As you drink it, you feel its warm presence, inviting you to connect with yourself and consciously experience the moment.

Chocolate as it can be found in the store
The composition of a typical commercial chocolate product contains a mixture of alkalized cocoa powder, cocoa butter, genetically modified soy lecithin, vanilla extract and a large amount of refined sugar.
Milk chocolate contains milk powder with its harmful, antioxidant-blocking properties and a variety of residues that we don't want in our bodies.
