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 YOUR CACAO CUP

  • We recommend melting your cacao with a small amount of hot water (not boiling) and mixing it well until it becomes liquid.

  • Once it is well combined, top it up with enough hot water to fill your cup. Mixing is best with a wooden spoon or a molinillo.

  • For those new to drinking ceremonial cacao, it's best to start with a small dose and gradually increase it. We recommend starting with 0.5 oz (14 grams) and then increasing to 1 oz (28 grams).
