For those drawn toward the untamed intelligence of the plant.

For those ready to experience cacao in her raw, opulent fullness.

A Rare Amazon Rainforest Harvest

This cacao comes from a region of northern Peru with no direct road access. During harvest season, cacao is carried out of the forest by hand — a journey that can take hours through jungle terrain.

This is not industrial cacao.

It is a rare ceremonial offering shaped by land, lineage, and the living rhythms of the forest.

Origin — Amazonas, Peru

From the heart of the Peruvian Amazon rainforest.

Our cacao is grown by Indigenous Awajún families in northern Peru, where forest, river, and mountain meet.

Harvested with care, fermented in small batches, and slowly sun-dried, it is prepared in rhythm with the land.

For the Awajún people, the land is a living relative. Cacao is cultivated in relationship with the forest, supporting both community livelihood and the protection of ancestral territory.

With WANA HEY, you enter a living exchange — with the rainforest and the hands that make this offering possible.

A fuller-bodied ceremonial cacao designed for slow ritual.

How To Prepare Ceremonial Cacao

This cacao is an invitation to meet cacao in its pure form — or to blend intuitively with sweeteners, spices, herbs, or adaptogens your body is drawn toward in the moment.

1. Add 4–6 WANA HEY roses to a cup or blender.

2. Add sweetener and spices, if desired (we like cinnamon, cayenne, coconut sugar, or honey).

3. Add ¾-1 cup hot (not boiling) water.

4. Froth, whisk, or blend until smooth.

Sip slowly. Soften. Listen.

A Ritual For Every Rhythm

This cacao can be enjoyed daily as a grounding ritual or reserved for deeper ceremonial practice.

Drink it before meditation, journaling, movement, creativity, or moments that ask you to return to yourself.

Whether enjoyed in silence or shared in ceremony, this cacao supports presence, openness, creativity, and connection.

Our Why

“Look. I didn’t mean to start a chocolate brand. I was just trying to feel better without unraveling my life.

Next thing I knew, I was in the Peruvian jungle, crying under cacao trees, learning that theobromine might be plant medicine for emotionally available people.

WANA HEY was born out of unreasonable cravings, accidental reverence, and a refusal to choose between sacred ritual and actual flavor.

May this cacao melt away every illusion you’ve mistaken for safety.” — Ksenia
