Raw Cacao, a fine line between superfood and medicine
We're happy to offer unique herb blends of handmade ceremonial Criollo cacao @MYTH. Not only is Criollo the oldest variety containing the most active ingredients of all cacao strains (therefor strongly increasing all of the positive healing properties) but it's also ethically and energetically taken care of in the most profound and sacred way. Sure you can find cheaper alternatives in large web or bio shops, but don't get fooled by products that have gone trough large scale processing, manufacturing and stocking. Specially when it comes down to something so delicate as a sacred plant... That's exactly why we can honestly call it the ceremonial kind.. Nothing compares to the strength and purity of a product that is completely hand made and goes directly from the plantation to the lovely people at Inkao that package and/or enhance it with spices for us. You are supporting yourself in a very pure way and also supporting the amazing people that are so passionate to bring this in your life. 🤎🤎🤎
