Cacao is regarded as a sacred plant and has been used medicinally and ceremonially by the Aztecs and the Mayans for thousands of years. Ceremonial grade cacao, typically sourced from Central and South America, means that the beans are grown by local farmers, harvested with love and prepared with intention to heal.
