WHAT MAKES FIFTH ELEMENT LANQUIN CACAO SO SPECIAL?

  • High-Quality Cacao - This cacao comes from an ancient farm in Guatemala and it’s made from the highest quality beans, known as Criollo
  • Handmade - Each step of the process, including sun drying, roasting, peeling, and grinding, is performed by hand with greater care and intention
  • Way Beyond Fair Trade - Our cacao farmers and producers set their own prices, and receive way more than the fair trade rate, which would still be exploitative
  • Authentic Mayan Tradition - The Cacao collectives we work with is rooted in authentic Mayan traditions and values, preserving a rich cultural heritage that has been passed down for centuries
  • Biodiverse Farming - The cacao used in this paste is grown using regenerative and biodiverse farming practices that prioritize the health of the soil, wildlife, and ecosystem
  • Blessed - The Mayan spiritual leaders perform a Mayan ceremony using incense and fire to invoke sacred energies for cleansing, blessing, and protection of the cacao

HOW TO PREPARE A CUP OF CACAO

Mix 2-3 Tbsp of ceremonial cacao into 6-8 oz hot water in a blender and mix until foamy! 

OR EVEN BETTER...

Do it the traditional way and mix your cacao (2-3 Tbsp) with double the amount of hot (but not boiling) water, mix well until it becomes liquid and then add enough hot water to fill your cup. 

TIP: Use a wooden molinillo to prepare your cacao in a truly authentic way!

Heavy Metal Content: This product contains cadmium and lead, which have been tested by a third-party lab. The lead amount meets FDA guidelines for lead content. The cadmium content meets the EU legal requirements for sale. It's important to note that the EU does not have specific lead requirements, and the FDA does not regulate cadmium content.

In the State of California, these elements are known to cause cancer and birth defects. We are required to inform you of this, though we can assure you that we hold our cacao to the highest standards and it is safe for consumption. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

We want to reiterate that the lead and cadmium content are within legal limits and it is safe to consume!
