Honouring the sacred traditions of cacao through ceremony
RAW. PLANT BASED. ORGANIC. VEGAN. GLUTEN FREE.
For our ancient Mexican ancestors, Cacao is used as a sacred offering to express gratitude to the elements. It is shared ceremonially to open the hearts of the people and bring balance and connection between humanity and Mother Earth. By drinking Cacao with a heartfelt intention these teachings become alive, waking up the children of this Earth.
Ceremonial Cacao
We believe in the importance of maintaining the traditional preparation methods of our ancestors to
honour the spirit of this sacred medicine.
We carry these prayers in our hearts as we prepare our ceremonial cacao, giving offerings and singing traditional songs to infuse it on all levels with its true medicinal qualities.
Cacao is a tradition we are carrying forward to
nourish the mind, body and spirit of generations to come
Tonanztin Chocolate has a deep reverence and appreciation for the sacredness of cacao and its use in ceremony.
The name "Tonanztin" refers to Tonantzin, a Nahuatl term for the Aztec mother goddess, often associated with fertility, nourishment, and the Earth. This choice of name suggests a connection to indigenous Mexican traditions and a recognition of the spiritual and cultural significance of cacao.
In many indigenous cultures cacao was considered a sacred and divine food, and it played a central role in various ceremonies and rituals. These ceremonies were not only about the consumption of cacao but also about honouring the cacao plant as a gift from the Earth and connecting with its spiritual essence.
Tonanztin Chocolate understands the sacredness of cacao and is committed to preserving and respecting the cultural and spiritual aspects of cacao ceremonies. It may also involve sourcing cacao beans sustainably and ethically, as well as promoting fair trade practices with indigenous communities that cultivate cacao.
