About WANA HEY
WANA HEY ceremonial chocolate is crafted with wild strain cacao from the biodiverse, sacred soils of Peru — pure, potent, and untamed. Infused with heart-awakening rose and lucuma, the golden fruit of the Andes, each sip is a soft portal. A remembering. A spiral back into your own inner rhythm, where knowing lives not in the mind, but in the body.
The Deeper Why
I created WANA HEY in one of the most challenging seasons of my life — as a single mother, rebuilding from the ground up. In the midst of heartbreak and unraveling, cacao showed me a way back to myself. It softened the noise in my head and awakened the truth in my body.
WANA HEY exists to carry that same medicine forward: to remind women everywhere that their softness is sacred, their feelings are wise, and their creativity is not optional — it’s their lifeline.
This chocolate is a bridge. Between past and future, between ritual and pleasure, between who you thought you had to be and the deeper rhythm of who you really are.
Thank you for joining me in this sacred unraveling.
May it melt away every illusion you’ve mistaken for safety.

WANA HEY Sourcing & Cacao Philosophy
At the heart of WANA HEY is a rare, ceremonial-grade cacao: wild strain, single-origin, and sourced directly from small family farms in the Piura region of Northern Peru.
The region's dry, sunny climate with minimal rainfall creates ideal conditions for careful fermentation and drying, allowing the cacao's natural complexity to shine through.
We collaborate directly with these farming communities, supporting micro-lot fermentation and sun-drying techniques that preserve the cacao’s sacred potency. Our sourcing partner also teaches regenerative fermentation practices that minimize heavy metal accumulation and uplift local economies — with farmers paid well above market rate.
Short supply chain. No blending. No mystery.
Just clean, intentional cacao from a single origin — cultivated with reverence.
Is WANA HEY Ceremonial Cacao Organic?
Our cacao is truly organic — grown in remote ecosystems untouched by industrial agriculture, where chemical inputs are neither used nor needed. While we don’t carry the USDA Organic label, we stand by the purity of this cacao: rooted in ancestral ways, grown in soil that remembers.
