Awajun: Exclusively at Kakao Mischa

In the heart of Peru, where the Andes meet the jungle, originates this mild yet vibrant cacao. The Awajún, indigenous people of these mountainous tropics, base their sovereignty on this cacao.

For thanks to it, they can preserve their rainforest exactly as it was passed down to them by their ancestors.

May it also grant you self-determination in your being.

We were there.

It is a great joy and honor to welcome another indigenous cacao into our assortment. Especially because the impact of its cultivation is so profound, granting an entire people, the Awajun, sovereignty over their land.

And with the purchase of their cacao, you bring that sovereignty into your cup.
