The journey of the cocoa bean

Have you ever considered what it would be like to be a South American cocoa bean?

You know, its journey lasts several months, not to mention the ripening process on the tree. A beautiful transformation that takes place in the shade of the rainforest.

You won't believe it, but a delicate, sweet cocoa bean has taken pity on us and described its journey to our manufactory in colorful words. Will you lend it your ear?

A legendary story

As Theobroma cacao, Latin for food of the gods, cocoa has enjoyed a fantastic reputation since its origins about 5,000 years ago.

Whether as an invigorating pick-me-up for Aztec celebrations of the high-born or as a valuable Central American currency.

Put on your reading glasses, things are about to get historical!

History

The Cacao Ritual

A cacao ritual (also known as a ceremony) is understood as the intentional consumption of the cacao plant.

The focus here is on the "why," the intention. There are no fixed rules for what a ceremony should look like. That is entirely up to you.

The cacao ceremony is a delicious form of consciousness work and can help you gain access to your feelings, desires, and visions.
