THE
ROOTS
BACK TO
In a world where everything is becoming increasingly fast to access, cheaply produced, and culturally appropriated, we —Nadine and Melmo — want to go back to the roots and give something back. We are turning away from mass production in favor of traditional craftsmanship in Guatemala, aligned with ancient Mayan wisdom. To share a cacao with the world that is unique in both its flavor and energy.
OUR
VALUES
-
The principle of reciprocity: We give back what we have received from Mama Cacao—not only through gratitude and humility, but also through financial support, as our cacao is produced entirely by local people in Guatemala.​
-
Traditional craftsmanship: We value the importance of preserving ancient traditions and craftsmanship. Our cacao is cultivated, tended to and processed according to ancient Mayan traditions, under the guidance of wisdom keepers.
