Mazorquitas de Cacao
The yearly Cacao Festival in Mexico introduced me to some Cacao farmers that are working hard to maintain the original cacao varieties alive. These mazorquitas (cacao pods) were made by a Mom-n-Pop micro business and they are pure heaven in a cup. They make two ceremonial cups each, the elixirs made are slightly sweet which highlight the cherry and bourbon notes of this cacao.
The benefits of Cacao include, high levels of antioxidants + magnesium, iron, and a dash of caffeine. Theobromine, a cardiovascular support, allows for oxygenation of the blood.
From an energetic perspective Cacao will raise your hearts vibration and induce a euphoric state. If you are looking to sit deeper in your heart and open the gateway to self love, you are holding the key.
