As the gates of the Cacao Portal gently close...
Our Esmeraldas Cacao sees the light of our shop in limited quantities!
Highly chocolatey, it brings joy, confidence, and sometimes even ecstasy to those who sip it... or so they say.
I know many of you have been waiting for it, and now it is here!
Handcrafted by us from the raw, indigenous bean to ceremonial cacao mass, our Esmeraldas Cacao looks forward to making your heart laugh too.
Thanks to the wonderful fairies & wizards of our bean processing for the extra work put in. We love you!

Deep in the Ecuadorian jungle...
Grows this ancient cacao variety called Arriba Nacional. Known as the oldest genetic species of the Ecuadorian region, it is internationally recognized for its intensely chocolatey flavor.
Â
Our visit to the Chachi and Monobravo tribes was defined by a zest for life, mud, and playing children.
Â
The farmers were honored by our visit and were always happy to help us pull our rubber boots out of the mud.
Â
As this is a special cacao, we only have limited quantities available in the online shop. The next batch is expected to arrive in early 2025.
