The core of what we stand for is reflected in the relationships with communitues and lands which are the sacred origins of our Ceremonial-grade Cacao.

Honouring trditional lineagues within the Maya culture and the original wisdom keepers of Cacao, we are honoured to bring this ethically and personally sourced Ceremonial-Cacao from Guatemala to your home.

Shaped by climate, culture, and ceremony our Guatemalan Cacao carries the deep earth-tones of the Lanquín Valley in Alta Verapaz. Tended by Maya families and lightly roasted over traditional open fires, it offers a grounded, bitter complexity, with light hints of citrus and vanilla. It also encourages the energetic fire element to strengthen in our system.

This sacred Cacao joined our Cape Cacao family after Fran’s pilgrimages to Guatemala where she sat in many fire ceremonies with indigenous elders, undergoing training and initiations... the spirit of the medicine called to come home to South Africa with her.

Grown by small-scale family farmers whose prayers bless the Cacao at every step, from the seeds to the harvested and sun-dried beans that gets processed into paste, this Cacao is a powerful heart-opener.

From the lush, emerald heart of the Guatemalan jungle, a sacred cacao origin is lovingly offered from the hearts of the Q’eqchi Maya people to our community in South Africa.

Cape Cacao is honoured to stock this ceremonial-grade cacao from Tuqtuquilal - a regenerative centre rooted in the rainforest of San Agustin Lanquin, Alta Verapaz. This cacao is the energetic embodiment of “tuqtuquilal”, a Q’eqchi word meaning harmony and natural flow.

Every block of this cacao carries the prayers, wisdom, and traditions of the Maya people - an ancient lineage steeped in reverence for land, Spirit, and the interconnection of all life.

Fran developed a beautiful connection with Tuqtuquilal cacao while staying with the community during her pilgrimage in Guatemala. Connecting with the plant spirit, Fran felt a deep resonance, a soul-knowing that this was a sacred partnership in the making... a bridge between worlds, cultures, and sacred ways.

We enjoy each cup of Tuqtuquilal cacao with deep respect for the Maya communities who tend and process this cacao, and reverence for the wisdom of the traditions of their lineage. Heart-to-heart in gratitude.

🫖 But there's more: light + earthy Mayan Cacao Tea!

We’re also excited to offer you something truly unique - an aromatic chocolate-flavoured tea made from the husks of these ceremonial beans.

After fermentation and sun-drying, cacao beans are gently toasted over an open fire. This ancient practice connects the elements of fire and air to the alchemy of cacao. Once cooled, the women of the Q’eqchi community carefully hand-peel each bean.

The husks are then gathered and offered as a delicious tea with a slightly "toasted" flavour.

💫 Simply steep the husks in hot water and sip slowly - a cosy companion to meditation, journaling, or soft moments of solitude.

🌿 100% ethically and personally sourced
🌿 In service to Maya culture, wisdom and land
🌿 Fermented, sun-dried, hand-peeled and blessed
🌿 Final ritual blessing before reaching you

As part of honouring the gentle rhythms of the Feminine, we will only be offering one immersive experience this year: Our sacred pilgrimage to Bali — the land of the gods, and the heart of our Jembrana cacao origin.

This pilgrimage a homecoming of reconnection: with land, plant spirit, and self.

From 23-28 August, we will sit in daily cacao ritual under swaying palms, meet the farmers who tend our ceremonial cacao with love, and be guided through heart-opening practices in sacred space.

You are invited to walk with Mama Cacao at source — held in the embrace of our Balinese family, guided by the wisdom of farmers, artisans, and teachers, and nourished by the fertile land that cradles this heart medicine.
​
✨ We rise with the sun and drink cacao in circle.
✨ We visit the trees, taste the fruit, and meet the farmers who tend them.
✨ We witness fermentation and the transformation of beans into ceremonial paste.
✨ We learn the art of offerings and altar-making, guided by Balinese cosmology.
✨ We rest, reflect, and integrate through meditation, reflection practices, and stillness.
​
​This pilgrimage is not a retreat. It is a living prayer.​
And now, we open the invitation for you to join us.

Bookings close 15 May, or when we are full (we have 2 spaces left).

The core of what we stand for is reflected in the relationships with communitues and lands which are the sacred origins of our Ceremonial-grade Cacao.

CEREMONIAL-GRADE is a term we use in modern culture to distinguish:

✨️INTEGRITY
✨️QUALITY
✨️RESPONSIBILITY
✨️RECIPROCITY
✨️HARMONY

Cape Cacao is based in South Africa 🇿🇦, and so we source our Ceremonial-grade Cacao through partnerships we've developed in the tropical Cacao lands of >>>

1. Bali 🇮🇩 and 2. Guatemala 🇬🇹 >>> to bring these ethically and personally sourced ceremonial Cacao origins to your home.

Each origin carries its own essence, shaped by climate, culture, and ceremony...

🍫🌴 Our Balinese Cacao is smooth, creamy, and subtly floral — grown in the island’s Jembrana region by small-scale family farmers whose prayers bless the cacao at every step, from the seeds to the harvested and sun-dried beans that gets processed into paste.

This is the Cacao many of you have come to know and love — light, soft, heart-opening and energetically balancing. She is also the cacao origin we have worked with the longest at Cape Cacao, and we deeply value our relationship with her.

🍫🫕 Our Guatemalan Cacao carries the deeper earth-tones of the Lanquín Valley in Alta Verapaz. Tended by Mayan families and lightly roasted over traditional open fires, it offers a more grounded, bitter complexity, with light hints of citrus and vanilla. It also encourages the energetic fire element to strengthen.

This Cacao joined our Cape Cacao family after Fran’s pilgrimages to Guatemala where she sat in many fire ceremony with indigenous elders - and the spirit of the medicine called to come home with her.

❤️🙏🏽 Both Cacao origins are true. Both sacred.

We don’t offer one as “better” than the other - but rather as distinct expressions of a shared Spirit. We invite you to meet each one, to listen with your heart, and to feel which ally calls to walk beside you.

▵ Our Ceremonial-Cacao Cacao origins form a sacred triangle, between Guatemala, Bali, and South Africa... and the Spirit of Cacao will meet you wherever you are at.
