Maya Spice Cacao

A traditional spicy drinking chocolate crafted with ancho chile, cayenne, and cinnamon. Indulge in the decadent warmth of our 70% dark single origin Maya Spice Cacao.

Our organic drinking chocolate is handcrafted in small batches from single origin regenerative Ucayali cacao and unrefined coconut sugar. We slow-roast whole cacao beans and stone-grind them into a paste. The paste is then set into blocks of cacao, which we grind into a powder. This uses the whole cacao bean, including the cacao butter, to provide a remarkably smooth, rich and robust drinking chocolate.

Servings

8 oz bag: 6 Servings

16 oz bag: 12 Servings

Servings per container are based on preparation using our recipe below. If you prefer a thinner or lighter drink, your servings per container will increase. Adjust your ratios as you like and see what recipe resonates most with you.

Recipe

Warm 3/4 cup milk of your choice on the stovetop until just before boiling. In a large mug, mix 3 Tbsp cacao with the heated milk. Blend with immersion blender until rich & creamy.

This recipe is for a traditional, thicker drinking chocolate. For a lighter cacao experience, use half the amount of cacao with the same amount of milk (and double your servings per bag).

Our Cacao Sourcing

We direct source our single origin, heirloom cacao from small family farms along the Ucayali River in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. It is sustainably and ethically grown using regenerative agroforestry to create positive change for the growers, the cacao, and the earth.

*Please Note: Our cacao comes in powdered form, which we craft by hand from our stoneground cacao paste. This is not "cacao powder" like the majority of products you see on the market. Cacao powder has been highly processed to remove the essential cacao butter from the product because it has a high resale value for manufactures. This destroys the integrity of the cacao and results in a thin, processed drink, that will not provide the incredible health benefits of whole bean cacao. We believe in honoring cacao as nature intended and are proud to offer pure, unadulterated cacao.
