What Does Regenerative Cacao Mean?
It’s a way of cultivating and sharing cacao that supports the thriving of everything it touches: the land it grows on, the families who care for it, and the people who receive it. We are committed to doing the hard and necessary work - aligning words with real life actions and creating experiences - for clients to witness the process for themselves, so they can be discerning consumers and good stewards of cacao’s message of regeneration.
Healthy, Biodiverse Land
Our cacao is grown by the Red Ratzum Collective - 65 local Q’eqchi families who live on and tend large plots of biodiverse land on the mountainsides surrounding our center. In this environment, cacao thrives without need for chemical inputs. It grows alongside cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, copal, allspice, and other trees whose intertwining root systems contribute to complex flavors. Our farmers use their ecological and cultural wisdom and the helping hands of family members to plant, tend, and harvest their cacao trees each season.
Thriving Q’eqchi Communities
Our commitment to regeneration includes the thriving of the Q’eqchi people, starting with the farmers and their families. Most cacao brands source their beans from ‘coyotes’ who buy high quantities of washed-and-dried beans for the cheapest price, and the hard-working farmers don’t earn enough.
We pay consistently high prices but don’t stop there — we build long-term relationships and create an ecosystem of interdependence.
An End Product With Integrity
We take great care in our production process to ensure the cacao is absorbing positive energy so our customers can have the best experience possible with this medicine.
From purchase to fermentation, drying, toasting, and peeling, we bring care and integrity to each step. We do this so when our cacao reaches our customers’ doors, they experience the artistry, history, and integrity of cacao made in the original Q’eqchi way.
The Benefits of Cacao
Cacao is both a superfood and a plant ally that nourishes both the body and the spirit. Used for centuries in ritual and daily life, cacao supports physical health, emotional clarity, and deeper connection to self and community.
✧ Physical & Mental Well-being

Cacao contains theobromine, a gentle stimulant that increases energy and focus, without the crash of caffeine.

Compounds like phenylethylamine and anandamide are known to support feelings of well-being and uplift the mood.
