Tropical Forest-Grown Ceremonial Cacao Pieces – 1 lb. of Cacao Pieces

Direct Trade with the forest. Sip with Intention. Connect with Something Deeper. Heirloom Ceremonial Cacao.

Description

Most ceremonial cacao is processed far from where its beans grow.

Kampura is different. Our organic cacao is fermented, lightly roasted, and stone-ground in Guatemala, where it’s grown—creating skilled local jobs for our Qʼeqchiʼ Maya team and keeping value in Guatemala. The result is clean, powerful drinking cacao for calm focus and intentional ritual.

These pieces are pre-broken to add convenience to your preparation.

Smooth to melt, rich to sip, and steady in energy—without the caffeine crash.

What sets this cacao apart:

100% heirloom-designated Guatemalan cacao. No sugar, no additives.
Origin-made: grown, dried, fermented, roasted, peeled, and stone-ground on the same country's soil.
Flavor profile: deep chocolate first, with bright lift—grapefruit, berries, pleasant citric acidity and tropical notes.
Naturally functional: rich in theobromine, magnesium, and polyphenols, flavanols.
Formats that fit your routine: solid blocks for bulk; quick-melt pieces for convenience.
Quality you can verify: lab-tested for nutrition and heavy metals levels

Ways to Enjoy It

From the forest to Your table

We don’t just grow cacao—we finish it at origin. Every step happens in Guatemala for freshness, traceability, and flavor.

Grown, Fermented & Dried

Forest-grown cacao is harvested ripe, fermented in tiered wooden boxes, then sun-dried to stable moisture for clean flavor and shelf life.

Light Roast & Winnow (Shells Removed)

A gentle roast develops aroma while preserving theobromine and polyphenols. Beans are cracked and winnowed to remove the bitter shells.

Stone-Grind & Mold

Cacao is stone-ground to a smooth liquor, then molded into one-pound blocks or quick-melt pieces—no sugar, no additives.

It is a holistic farming approach focused on restoring and enhancing soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem vitality. Kampura has been working with increasing soil health for years. We have applied innovative organic products that return and increase beneficial bacteria, yeast and fungi to our soil. This increases the root systems of our plants making them less dependent on inputs. Making a thriving ecosystem for plants, insects, reptiles, birds and animals
Our regenerative forest has created thriving plants that get all of their nutrient requirements from their increased root system. A regenerated soil has an increased interchange with microorganisms and plants that creates higher nutrient density in everything we grow. We have test results that show that our cacao has more protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, calcium than the average cacao. Results also show that our cacao is heavy metal safe. Every harvest our cacao is tested by certified USA and European laboratories.
Cacao of excellence is the most important cacao competition in the world. There is a competition every two years and the award goes to the cacao farmer. The first part is a competition for the best cacaos in a producing country. The winners of each producing country then compete at the world stage.
