About Alma Cacao

Cacao with soul.

Single-origin Peruvian ceremonial cacao, stone-ground in small batches and shared as a daily ritual for calm, steady energy and real connection. Alma means soul in Spanish. That is the whole idea.

Alma Cacao began as a quiet whisper in my heart, a deep calling to share love, healing and real connection. The shift came during a retreat on Mount Shasta, when I first encountered the heart-opening spirit of ceremonial cacao. That moment changed everything.

I went looking for the purest cacao I could find and ended up in the Peruvian Amazon, working directly with the native communities who have stewarded it for generations. Every pouch we make carries that lineage.

With every sip, every scoop and every moment of wellness, we are creating a movement for better health and conscious living.

What we stand for

Purity you can trace.

Four commitments behind every pouch, every drop and every capsule we make.

  1. Single-origin Peru

    One origin, one relationship. Our cacao comes from native communities of the Peruvian Amazon, never blended, never anonymous.

  2. Small batch, stone-ground

    Whole cacao paste, not powder. Nothing pressed out, nothing added: no sugar, no fillers, no shortcuts.

  3. Independently tested

    Tested by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, and processed in a GMP certified facility.

  4. Made to give back

    For every product sold we donate 2% to non-profits supporting education, health and community programs.

Our origin

Alma means soul.

Alma Cacao is single-origin Peruvian, sourced directly through partnerships with native communities of the Peruvian Amazon who have stewarded cacao for generations.

Every pouch carries that lineage. This is not just cacao, it is a ritual for presence, love and deeper connection. Whether in ceremony or in your everyday rhythm, it is a way to return to what truly matters.

Two percent, every time.
Giving back

Two percent, every time.

For every product sold, we donate 2% to non-profits supporting education, health initiatives and community empowerment. It is a small number on a receipt and a real difference on the ground.

Sit in circle with us. Cacao ceremony
Community inspired

Sit in circle with us.

One of our goals is to bring people together around the sacred connection of cacao and kanna. A ceremony is a space for shared growth, celebration and introspection, and a chance to slow down with others.

Beyond hosting, we guide and empower participants to create their own ceremonies, so the ritual keeps spreading, one circle at a time.
