The Rose Cacao

$60.00

The Rose Cacao comes from the Lake Atitlan Women’s Collective in San Marcos, Guatemala. This Mayan women-owned collective works to employ indigenous Mayan women and offer fair compensation and sustainable farming practices. Ruk’ u’x Ulew in Kaqchikel (Mayan dialect) means heart of the earth, and we feel we are responsible for helping that heart to have a healthy heartbeat. We’ve partnered with this collective to ensure that the cacao you drink directly supports the communities that have stewarded it for generations.

Sustainably farmed at a single source in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, where it was dried twice in the sun and toasted on a plancha over the fire, then peeled and ground by hand.

143 mg caffine, 468mg theobromine

Flavor: traditional chocolate, toasty, light berry flavors

Note: Cacao harvests need our prayers. In 2024, cacao-growing regions across the world faced extreme weather—droughts and other severe conditions—that led to a 14% drop in global cocoa production, from 4.9 million to 4.2 million metric tons. The 2023/24 season saw a shortfall of approximately 478,000 tons—about 11% of total production—marking the third consecutive year of global deficits and increasing competition for available beans. Please join us in holding the prayer that cacao may flourish, be protected, and be lovingly tended by the small farms that sustain it.
