Organic Chuncho Urushayua Cacao [100% Cacao Solids].
‘Chuncho Urushayhua’ is a rare and pure genetic variety of Peruvian cacao that has been wildcrafted for centuries by the Machiguenga people, deep in the high jungle of the Peruvian Andes. It is believed that this sacred cacao carries a particular frequency that resonates with the human soul.
As traditions and stories about the spirit of Cacao echo between the mountain jungles of Peru to the Mayan Peninsula, our quest isn’t to replicate but to establish our own unique relationship with this universal Medicine of the heart, while honouring its origins and the Indigenous cultures.
This plant ally holds the capacity to induce transformation and healing of the heart, awakening a deeper understanding within those who receive its powerful gift. Ceremonial Cacao offers a sacred passage, a union of tradition, connection to the earth and exploration of the self. A way to commune with the universe that assists the heart to access full coherence with the brain, engaging in a sacred dialogue of alignment. From here we can infuse and integrate these spiritual practices into the very fabric of life.
Here, the humble yet powerful plant teacher was used by ancient Peruvian civilisation from as early as 5,500 years ago. Recently, researchers have identified Chuncho as a distinct genetic group and found it encompasses the genes of all other varieties of cacao, making researchers believe it could be the ‘mother’ of all fine cacao.
In years past, this precious bean teetered on the edge of extinction. However, thanks to the interest of organic chocolate makers Like Loco Love, farmers joined hands to rescue these trees from being lost forever. Now carefully cultivated using regenerative agroforestry to honour the land's ancient traditions and sustain the future of the rainforest.

Unlike hot chocolate, this nutrient rich ceremonial cacao has a bitter taste, with a slight sourness. The natural fats in the cacao paste make it rich in flavour and can create a thick and silky brew. By adding a natural sweetener like honey or coconut sugar, milk of choice and a pinch of salt, a harmonious balance can be found, without hindering the rawness of 100% pure cacao.
Our Sun Discs are 33g, for your first cacao experience we recommend starting off with half a disc and gradually increasing to a whole disc. For more versed cacao consumers, we recommend no more than 1 and a half discs.
Dosages
If you are preparing your drink directly in your mug, we recommend chopping up the Sun Disc finely before melting with hot water. If you are preparing over the stove, it is ok to add the Sun Disc whole, whisking to melt.
You can have ceremonial cacao as often as once a day offering a gentle yet powerful replacement to coffee. Alternatively you can serve yourself cacao as a more intentional weekly ritual.
