Perú Amazonas Organic Ceremonial Cocoa
Organic ceremonial cocoa (full-fat cocoa paste, cocoa mass) comes from the heart of the Peruvian Amazon – from the regions of Junín, Ayacucho, Cusco and Ucayali, where unique cocoa varieties such as Chuncho, VRAE-15 and VRAE-99 are grown. This raw material is sourced exclusively from certified, organic plantations and crops covered by the Rainforest Alliance programme, which guarantees the highest quality and respect for the environment.
This cocoa delights with its deep, chocolate aroma, with notes of tropical fruits and a delicate nutty-caramel aftertaste. Its taste is reminiscent of fine Belgian chocolate – noble, with a balanced bitterness, broken by a subtle sweetness.
The product is made from the highest quality, carefully selected premium cocoa beans, making it an excellent choice for both cocoa ceremonies and everyday tasting.

Organic ceremonial cocoa is a unique product originating from the depths of the Peruvian Amazon, from the regions of Junín, Ayacucho, Cusco and Ucayali, where noble cocoa varieties such as Chuncho, VRAE-15 and VRAE-99 are grown. This cocoa is made from full-fat cocoa paste, i.e. pulp obtained by grinding and drying whole, unrefined cocoa beans, which allows it to retain all its natural nutrients and aromas.
Grown on certified organic plantations and farms covered by the Rainforest Alliance programme, ceremonial cocoa from Peru is distinguished by its highest quality, purity and respect for the environment. The beans are harvested by hand, carefully selected and subjected to traditional fermentation and low-temperature drying, which preserves their raw character and nutritional value.
The unique flavour profile of this cocoa is a combination of intense, deep chocolate with distinct notes of tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple, as well as a delicate nutty and caramel aftertaste. Subtle hints of vanilla, white flowers and citrus are also often noticeable, giving it a multidimensional and noble character. The taste is reminiscent of dry, bitter Belgian chocolate with a balanced bitterness, broken by sweet notes.
Ceremonial cocoa from Peru is not only a unique drink, but also a cultural and spiritual experience. Its tradition dates back to the Mayans and Aztecs, who treated cocoa as a sacred drink used in rituals and ceremonies. Today, it is used in meditation practices, circles and development meetings, where it helps to open the heart, deepen contact with one’s own body and emotions, and support processes of release and inner transformation.
In terms of nutrition, ceremonial cocoa is a real treasure trove of antioxidants, magnesium, zinc, potassium and other minerals, as well as plant protein. Regular consumption can support well-being, improve mood, relieve stress and have a beneficial effect on the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
This product contains no additives, sugar, gluten, lactose or preservatives – it is 100% natural, vegan and suitable for people on a keto diet. It is an excellent choice for both cocoa ceremonies and everyday consumption as a drink, ingredient in desserts or smoothies.
