We founded embue cacao as cacao ceremony facilitators who wanted to share the beauty of this medicine with the world. To that end, we have focused on producing consistent, high-quality cacao that has a positive social & environmental impact. Everything we do is to that end.
Our direct farm relationship ensures that we know what we are getting, as we’re not just buying cacao at urban markets from unknown sources. We rely on professional standards and oversight, which includes everything from which cacao seedlings are grown, to the exact fermentation rates and protocols. It includes fine-tuned roasting profiles and standardized procedures for tempering and molding the product.
Together, this gives us unparalleled consistency, at an affordable price. We are one of the most affordable providers of ceremonial cacao because of our direct sourcing model and because we are committed to keeping this medicine accessible. We don’t overcharge on a product simply because we can.
We have been around for over 10 years and have allowed the business to grow organically, primarily by word of mouth and allowing the cacao to speak for itself, instead of putting a lot of money into ads, which invariably ends up costing the customer.
We have lived & breathed cacao ceremony for the last decade, in the ever changing life of our family, and have kept our core commitment to sharing the love as a central focus in everything we do.
