The Maya Q’Eqchi, a Guatemalan indigenous community
The Story Of The Maya Q’Eqchi
For the Maya Q’eqchi’, cacao is a sacred gift from the gods, woven into their culture and spiritual life. For centuries, they’ve cultivated cacao in harmony with the land, using ancient techniques passed down through generations. Their ceremonies blend the physical and spiritual, offering cacao as a connection to their ancestors and nature.Though colonization disrupted their communities, the Maya Q’eqchi’ have fought to preserve their traditions. Today, they continue to produce cacao using these ancient methods. This ceremonial cacao, sourced from their Guatemalan highlands, is rich and deeply connected to the rhythms of nature, honoring the Maya Q’eqchi’s enduring heritage.

A Note From The Founder
Struggling with the challenges of modern day life...
Jamie spent most of his 20s sedating himself with wine at night and falling into unhealthy habits.
He explored endless ways of de-stressing and relaxing naturally.
He tried everything - taking endless supplements or herbs, hot baths, cold therapy and more. None of it worked. He was left going back to booze and unhealthy foods to escape from the stress of his daily life.
After using ceremonial cacao daily, Jamie was able to experience deep relaxation and a feeling of inner peace without harmful substances.
After experiencing a boosted mood, feeling of wellbeing and not needing to drink every night, he decided he had to share his little known secret with the world.
To help others heal deeply from within, as well as experience all of the physical benefits.
