Kokoleka Collective

Kokoleka Collective works with a family run business who processes their own cacao and has been doing so for generations. They work hard to protect the rare variety of criollo from hybridization so that it does not go extinct. They also protect the rights of their cacao farmers and their processing facility is completely solar powered. This co-op is also USDA certified Fair Trade and Organic.

​

Their cacao is sourced from the beautiful region in Chiapas, Mexico, known as Soconusco. This is known as the "birthplace of cacao", and has long held the ancient wisdom of cacao. According to some experts, this is where the best chocolate in the world is grown. This is the rare criolla variety, with small pods and few seeds. This is where the magic is. These beans contain the highest levels of ceremonial magic like theobromine (diuretic effects, widening arteries & boosting blood flow, lifting your mood, improves focus), endocannabinoids (regulates sleep, mood, appetite, learning, memory, pain, immune function, and much more), flavanols (antioxidant), and polyphenols (antioxidant).
