Time as Ceremony-
Understanding the Sacred Energies
Each batch of our cacao is made on a specific day of the Cholq'ij calendar, infusing it with the unique Nawal (sacred energy) of that day.
Discover which sacred energy was woven into your cacao below.
(Due to our small-batch production, not all Nawales are available at the same time.)
