For thousands of years, cacao wasn't consumed as a sweet treat. It was respected as a bitter ritual.
The ancients believed that bitterness wasn't something to avoid—it was something to embrace. A way to cleanse, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Today, science is uncovering why. Pure cacao is one of nature's richest sources of polyphenols, powerful plant compounds that support cardiovascular health, cellular health, and overall wellbeing.
That's why we created Shansho, our most bioactive, intentionally unfermented ancestral cacao. Bold, intensely bitter, and crafted to honour the way cacao has been enjoyed for generations.🌿

We witnessed something truly special. People didn't just stop by—they came to us, curious to learn more about cacao, its benefits, and its connection to health and neuroscience.

We were humbled by the warm welcome, the meaningful conversations, and the overwhelming interest in what we shared. Selling out was something we never expected, but what touched us most was seeing so many people genuinely inspired by cacao's potential.

Thank you to everyone who listened, asked questions, and became part of this experience. We're excited to bring this journey to the world and continue sharing the wisdom and wellbeing that cacao has to offer. 🤎✨

Our Shansho launch at the Salón del Cacao in Peru. 🇵🇪

It was an incredible opportunity to introduce our newest cacao, connect with passionate cacao lovers, and share the science behind what makes Shansho so unique.

The response exceeded our expectations. We completely sold out during the event. It was inspiring to see so many people curious to learn about the neuroscience behind Shansho and how our unfermented, washed cacao offers a different cacao experience.

From meaningful conversations and our neuroscience presentation to the music, dance, and cultural traditions that make Peru so special, it was a true celebration of cacao.

What makes washed cacao so different from traditional cacao? 🌱
Most cacao goes through fermentation, a process that develops flavour but also transforms the bean’s natural composition.
Washed cacao takes a different path. By removing the pulp and skipping fermentation, it helps preserve more of cacao’s naturally occurring compounds.

Our Shansho Cacao is crafted from exceptional Peruvian cacao genetics, bringing you a rare cacao experience where ancient tradition meets modern science.

Born from the spirit of the Amazon. Inspired by the Shansho, its strength, its voice, and its profound connection with nature.
Meet the story behind our newest creation. 🌱

Why is Cacao Shansho different? 🌿🧠
Unlike conventional cacao, Cacao Shansho is a washed cacao, not a fermented one. By skipping fermentation, we preserve significantly higher levels of the plant's natural bioactive compounds—the very molecules that make cacao so extraordinary.
Our analysis found over 5x more bioactives than any cacao we've tested before.
This isn't about creating a stronger chocolate flavour.

It's about protecting what nature intended.
Inspired by ancestral Amazonian traditions and validated through modern neuroscience, Cacao Shansho represents years of research, collaboration with Peruvian farmers, and a deep respect for the wisdom of this remarkable plant.

Meet the final piece of our cacao trilogy✨

After years of research, countless conversations with Indigenous farmers, and a journey deep into the Peruvian Amazon, we're proud to introduce Cacao Shansho.
Unlike conventional chocolate, Shansho is washed instead of fermented, preserving the cacao's natural bioactive compounds rather than transforming them into a chocolate flavour. The result? The most bioactive cacao we've ever analysed—over 5x higher in bioactive compounds than any cacao we've previously measured.
Shansho is where ancestral wisdom meets modern neuroscience. Every step, from the way it's grown to the way it's processed, has been designed to honour thousands of years of traditional knowledge while exploring the remarkable biochemistry that makes cacao so unique.
This isn't just another cacao.
It's a new way to experience one of nature's most extraordinary plants.
Thank you for being part of this journey. We can't wait for you to experience Cacao Shancho. 🌱

We don't just grow cacao, we care for the living ecosystem that makes it possible.
Our work doesn't start with the cacao pods. It starts beneath the surface.
That's why we introduce beneficial microorganisms into our soil. They help unlock naturally occurring minerals, protect the roots from harmful microbes, and encourage the growth of fine root hairs, allowing our cacao trees to absorb more of what the earth already provides.
For us, healthy soil isn't just part of farming. It's the foundation of everything we do.
The healthier the soil, the stronger the trees. The stronger the trees, the more vibrant and nutrient-rich the cacao they produce.
We believe exceptional cacao doesn't come from forcing nature, it comes from understanding it, respecting it, and working alongside it every step of the way.
