I've been working with Pachakuti Cacao…
I've been working with Pachakuti Cacao for just over a year now, although I've been serving ceremonial cacao as part of my work as a plant medicine woman and facilitator for more than a decade.
I've worked with a number of beautiful cacaos over the years, and each one has its own unique character. For me, Pachakuti has a very special energy. I often describe it as the "inner child" cacao because there's something incredibly pure, gentle and playful about it. It has a wonderfully creamy, chocolatey flavour that makes it approachable for people who are new to ceremonial cacao, while still holding a beautiful depth for those with an established practice.
What I love most is how it feels. It has a gentle, uplifting quality that seems to soften people open without being overwhelming. At the same time, it's deeply grounding, creating a sense of safety that allows people to connect with themselves in a really authentic way. It manages to be both light and rooted, which isn't something I've found with every cacao I've worked with.
The quality has always been consistent, the customer service has been excellent, and it's become one of my trusted ceremonial cacaos. In fact, I'm taking Pachakuti with me to Bali for my retreat next year, where every participant will receive a bag as part of their welcome gift because I genuinely believe in sharing products that I personally use and trust.
Thank you, Steve and the team, for making such a beautiful cacao available. I look forward to many more years of working with it.
