Arhuacos 80% Dark

The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia is a place where all the Earth's biomes are found from the Caribbean Sea to the rainforest to desert to the glacial peaks. Here, global environmental change is closely monitored and kept in balance by its caretakers, the Arhuacos. They are descendants of the Tairona, an ancient civilization dating back to the 1st century AD. The Tairona grew cacao and prepared it as a drink. The Arhuacos today live a traditional village lifestyle led by their spirtual leaders, the Mamos. They make a livelihood from agriculture and hand-woven wool mochilas and live off the land. When the Arhuacos moved back to their spiritual land by the sea, they found their ancestral cacao still intact and have propagated it. We craft a chocolate from this ancient cacao that celebrates its purity so you can taste its rich heritage.
