Our Story

15 years ago we had our first experience with ceremonial cacao in Costa Rica. We felt an instant connection with this plant medicine and have been working with it since. Finding it to be a great teacher & facilitator, as well as an integral part of a healthy diet. After working with this medicine more deeply and visiting the communities in Mesoamerica we decided that we wanted to share this beautiful plant and its healing properties with people. Embue cacao was born as our way of helping spread the cacao love. ~ Moses, Ambe & The 4 Cacao Kiddos
