Reconnect with Your Authentic Self,
Awaken Your Heart,
Connect to Acestry.
Savor the Journey of a Traditional Cacao Ceremony.
Inside your daily iced mocha, or hot chocolate lies a tradition rich with culture.
A cup of coffee or cacao shared with friends and good conversation can lift your spirits on both sad days and happy sunny ones.
Inside your hot chocolate or cacao milkshake lies a tradition rich with culture. A cup of ceremonial cacao shared with friends and good conversation guides you to find inner peace and connect with a higher consciousness. Cacao, in particular, impacts our brain's blood flow by widening the blood vessels, allowing more blood and oxygen to reach the brain. This boosts brain health, cognitive function, and attention.
A cup of traditional ancestral ceremonial cacao takes us on a journey of happiness. It nourishes your body and soul, providing physical health, invigoration, and spiritual and emotional benefits.
Breath in Serenity, Exhale Adventure
and Blend with Echoes of Ancestry.
