100% Pure Cacao Powder, 0.5 lb – Mayan Ceremonial Grade, Fresh Ground
100% pure Mayan organic ceremonial cacao powder, artisanally prepared by indigenous mothers in Mayan Guatemala. We share with you our authentically presented zip-close bag containing 0.5lb of fresh ground cacao; finely grating our cacao paste blocks into rich and delicious shreds of heaven made from the ‘Drink of the Gods’!
Mayan organic ceremonial Cacao beans are sourced directly from our farmers in Alta Verapaz; the highlands of Central Guatemala, where the fruits of the cacao trees are harvested and the beans extracted, fermented, and dried, ready for our team of Mayan mothers to work their loving magic! In the home of cacao in San Marcos La Laguna, Lake Atitlan, our cacao beans are roasted, hand-peeled, and ground into a paste before then being molded into the blocks of 100% pure cacao and finely grated to create a form of cacao that brings you to ease, convenience and delight!
Cacao (Kah-kaw) was first grown in Central and South America during the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. It was used ceremonially as an offering to the Ancient Gods and was valued so highly that it was also a standard unit of currency in Mesoamerican native cultures.
Cacao has been enjoyed for thousands of years. It is a heart opener. It is indeed a sacred superfood!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is ceremonial cacao powder?
Ceremonial cacao powder is a minimally processed, pure form of cacao from Indigenous-farmed sources in Guatemala. Unlike commercial cocoa powder, ceremonial cacao powder retains all natural fats, making it ideal for ceremonial consumption and daily wellness rituals.
Q: Why do people drink ceremonial cacao?
People drink ceremonial cacao to mark a moment of pause. Whisking and warming the drink invites slowing down, setting an intention, and sharing time with others. In Maya tradition, cacao has long been part of ceremony, and many people make it a daily ritual.
Q: How is ceremonial cacao powder different from regular cocoa powder?
Unlike processed cocoa powder, ceremonial cacao powder is minimally processed to keep the cacao pure. It's ethically sourced from Mayan farmers in Guatemala, organic, fair-trade certified, and free from additives, pesticides, and processing chemicals.
Q: How do I prepare ceremonial cacao for a ritual?
Warm filtered water to 140-160°F (60-70°C). Add 1-1.5 oz of cacao and stir or whisk vigorously to create a frothy, heart-opening drink. Some people add natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. The key is intention, presence, and mindful consumption.
Q: Is this cacao certified organic and fair-trade?
Yes. Our ceremonial cacao is certified organic, fair-trade, and ethically sourced directly from Indigenous Q'eqchi' farmers and Kaqchikel women in Guatemala. All employees are paid fair wages, supporting sustainable, community-centered production.

I really like it. It's similar to the taste of dark chocolate. I mix mine with milk and ice to make a rich chocolate milk, and sweeten with a table spoon of honey. Add the honey while it still hot before adding the ice and milk.
Absolutely Amazing quality and taste! I got the powder to make cacao hummus and other recipes!
Shipped super fast and well packaged!
Thank you so much and I’ll be back! 🙏💝
Very delicious 😋 thank u

Always great always shipped fast thank you ❤️❤️❤️ always beautiful high vibrational cacao
This cacao is delicious, very easy to use, and has wonderful loving sacred energies. It kept its high quality even over the months I enjoyed it, so I re- ordered, this time in a larger size.
I haven’t tried it yet. Perfect package and it came with the recipe .
The cacao is beautiful, arrived extremely quickly, and I could feel the energy as soon as I opened the package. It was important for me to find a brand who had an actual connection to the land and the plant, beyond seeing it as a good business venture. It was quite the task, but so glad I found Maya Moon and these sisters who found it in them to share this gift.
Super Delicious chocolate thank you again
The quality of this cacao is amazing. I'm hooked now, and this was my first time trying cacao.

I adore this Cacao. This is the second time I've ordered from MayaMoonCacao, and I will continue ordering from them.
