100% Ceremonial Grade Cacao
Get a taste of Tanzania with our Heirloom Cacao Beans, a rare brew from ancient cacao trees.
Our Heirloom Cacao Beans are a special gift from Tanzania, where families have been growing cacao trees for generations. They carefully tend to these trees, ensuring they produce the best beans possible. A powerful coffee alternative with the active ingredient ‘theobromine’ – providing a sustained lift to reduce fatigue, increase alertness and support general well-being.
A Unique Flavour
Fermented using a special process that gives them a unique flavour with hints of flowers, they also have a striking red colour that makes them stand out from other cacao beans.
From Tanzania to South Africa
After being harvested in Tanzania, the quality-graded, special selection of fresh, flavour-filled beans are shipped directly to South Africa, then artisanally prepared in Cape Town and ground to a fine liquor. This liquor is as close as you can get to eating the bean itself.
