Pure Kakaw is born out of a passion for cacao, traditional use and indigenous knowledge. Quality cacao directly and ethically sourced from the farm.
Through journeys in South and Central America we got first experience with pure cacao drinks. And it has been impressive. Before, we only knew cacao as the ingredient for chocolate or chocolate milk. Apart from the health benefits, less is known about its tradition as a sacred plant. We learned how cacao as an ingredient for most chocolate is highly processed for taste, costs and derivative products. This processing destroys healthy and active ingredients which make cacao so special. Experiencing the power of pure cacao added a whole new view. An experience we love to share.
Our goals are to
⬖ Bring back traditional cacao drinks to daily life.
⬖ Support agroforestry farming, ecology and biodiversity.
⬖ Create transparency and fairness in the supply chain.
⬖ Bridge spirituality and science for healthy living.
We want to share our passion and experience, and explore further why many native people valued cacao so highly. The Mayans used the word 'kakaw' which we use in our name with respect to a time when cacao flourished in culture and spirit. We feel it is time again to experience how cacao can support us in a happy, healthy and positive life.
