Roots of the Amazon
Let customers speak for us
This cocoa liquor melts into oatmeal for a rich chocolate experience with a little added maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla to sweeten it. Have not made the hot drink yet. My last supplier discontinued their product. So fortunate to have found yours!
Definitely has a way different flavor profile then the Amazon CACAO. I really enjoy both kinds but my kids prefer the fruity ness.
2 Cups water
4 CACAO disks
Tsp vanilla
1/4 cup raw organic sugar
1/4-1/2 cup half and half
Splash of honey
Splash of Cinnamon
Kids were absolutely in love. Lol
Shipping was fast and packaging secure
love this cacao. i put 1 wafer in my coffee in the morning. fantastic. and i can say my blood pressure has gone down. just sayin
I started drinking cacao to reduce my cholesterol, and it has worked spectacularly! several firms offer pure cocoa that don’t dissolve well. Others add stuff like sugar, etc. This is pure cacao and. it works wonderfully in my hot chocolate every morning!
The cacao is exquisite and pure taste! Simply the best experience with every cup!
Delicious very high quality cacao.
Private Reserve for sure. This cacao is unique, the flavor the aroma, all of it!!! Wish this lasts forever.
Deep, rich flavor with wonderful grounding yet slightly stimulating effects. It can easily replace a cup of morning coffee. My favorite of the flavours I've tried from Cacao Adventures. Will definitely buy more.
My order was shipped during a heat wave in California and the gel packs kept all items cool. I also like that I can choose to include them or not since I don’t need them in the winter.
Great product of high quality. Definitely buying more
i love the taste, lift, and clarity these coins deliver.
I enjoy these chocolate discs daily and have found the high amazon basin variety to be my favorite, although the others are good too.

New explorer? We think you should watch this
This was our latest adventure in the Amazon, and it perfectly captures the essence of everything we do.
What's the High-Amazon Basin cacao like?
High-Amazon Basin cacao is rich, earthy, grounding, red fruit notes; great for daily ceremony.
Sourced from the High Amazon basin along the Marañón River in Peru’s Amazonas region, this cacao grows in lush rainforest where wild trees thrive year‑round under the canopy.
Consistent rain, rich jungle soils, and shade-grown cultivation produce beans with a deep, layered flavor and strong life force. Harvested and tended by Awajún families who steward these forests, this origin reflects a long relationship between people, river, and cacao.
Producers choose this origin for its resilience in a remote environment and the distinctive, grounding character that High Amazon cacao develops through careful small‑batch fermentation and drying.
Frequently asked question
This bundle includes everything you need to explore cacao in its purest forms:
- High-Amazon Basin Ceremonial Grade Cacao (1 lb / ~22 servings)
- High-Amazon Basin Raw Cacao Beans (1 lb)
- High-Amazon Basin Cacao Nibs (10 oz)
All sourced from the same origin in the High-Amazon Basin, so you can experience how processing transforms the same cacao into different forms.
You save $7 (11% off) compared to purchasing each item separately. Individual total: $65 → Bundle price: $58.
This bundle is perfect for:
- Cacao enthusiasts who want to explore different forms beyond ceremonial drinking
- Returning customers ready to experiment with recipes, smoothies, and baking
- Anyone curious about the journey from whole bean to processed cacao
- People who want versatility—ceremonial cacao for ritual, nibs for smoothies, beans for roasting or making your own chocolate
- Ceremonial Grade Cacao (1 lb bag): Minimally processed, ready to melt and drink in ceremony. This is our signature product for ritual and meditation.
- Raw Cacao Beans: Whole, unprocessed beans straight from the pod. You can eat them as-is, roast them, or grind them yourself to make chocolate.
- Cacao Nibs: Beans that have been cracked and separated from their shells. Perfect for adding to smoothies, yogurt, baking, or snacking. Crunchy texture with intense chocolate flavor.
Ceremonial Cacao: Chop 1-2 oz, melt in hot water (not boiling), add sweetener/spices if desired, and drink mindfully in ceremony.
Raw Cacao Beans: Eat whole as a snack (they're crunchy and slightly bitter), roast them for deeper flavor, or grind into cacao paste/powder.
Cacao Nibs: Add to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, trail mix, or baked goods. Use as a healthier chocolate chip alternative. No preparation needed—just sprinkle and enjoy.
Yes! All three products come from the High-Amazon Basin region, so you're experiencing the same exceptional cacao in different forms. This allows you to truly understand how processing affects flavor, texture, and use.
This bundle is ideal for customers who already know they love cacao and want to explore beyond drinking it ceremonially. If you're brand new to ceremonial cacao, we recommend starting with The Taste and Ceremony Bundle (ceremonial cacao + The Collection chocolate bars) to discover different cacao percentages first.

- Raw Cacao Beans (1 lb): Varies based on use; if snacking, approximately 30-40 servings
- Cacao Nibs (10 oz): Approximately 20 servings (1-2 tablespoons per use)
Stored properly in a cool, dry place, all products stay fresh for 12-18 months.
Absolutely! This makes a thoughtful gift for cacao lovers, health-conscious friends, or anyone interested in superfoods and mindful living. Add a greeting card at checkout to include a personal message.
