About our cacao

Sourcing and ethics of our cacao

At CacowGirls we work with ceremonial cacao that is grown processed and paid for with care. We choose partners who work from tree to bar and from bean to bar and who are in direct relationship with small farming families. This allows you to drink cacao that feels good in your body and also makes sense in the story behind it.

At a glance

  • Transparent sourcing from tree to bar

  • Cacao as ritual and as a supply chain that makes sense

Amma Cacao from South India

Our Indian cacao from Amma Cacao grows in mountainous regions in South India. The cacao trees are planted in family gardens among herbs and spices. Farmers work on a small scale with great care for soil water and the biodiversity around them.

Tree to bar means that the same team guides the entire journey of the cacao. From the tree and harvesting of the pods to fermentation sun drying selection of the beans and grinding into a smooth cacao mass. Nothing is removed and nothing unnecessary is added. You drink one hundred percent cacao as the tree has given it.

ORA Cacao from different countries

The ORA Cacao we offer comes from different countries and each variety carries its own story of the farmers and the land. With every cup of cacao you work with a different origin and a different energy in your ritual.

  • Thriving Tanzania comes from cacao regions in Tanzania where local farmers work together toward stable income and care for the soil.
  • Uplifting Uganda supports farming communities in Uganda and helps build a sustainable cacao economy.
  • Oaxacan Spice is connected to cacao farmers in Mexico and carries the rich cacao traditions of that region.
  • Tantric Rose Blossom is a blend where cacao and botanicals come together with stories from different cacao regions.
  • Vibrant Vitality connects powerful cacao with projects that support farmers in growth and resilience.

Each ORA Cacao variety has its own country its own farmers and its own agreements around pricing and collaboration. This allows you to taste not only a different flavor but also a different relationship with the earth and the people who care for the cacao.

Direct relationships and fair prices

We choose cacao with as few anonymous links as possible between farmer and drinker. No anonymous middle trade but long term relationships clear agreements and attention for the realities farmers face in tropical regions. This means paying a price that reflects the true cost of living and working better than the conventional world market price.

When cacao is sourced in this way farmers gain space to invest in their land their families and the future of their community.

Climate and resilience for farmers

In many cacao regions the climate is changing. Farmers face more extreme weather flooding or drought and tree diseases. Some of our partners build funds and projects that support these farmers in recovery and in resilient cultivation.

In this way ceremonial cacao becomes not only a product but also a way to support the communities at the foundation of your rituals.

What this means for your cup of cacao

Every time you prepare a cup of ceremonial cacao or melt an Amma Bar, you become part of a larger story. A story of trees farmers lands and hands that together ensure this plant medicine reaches your altar.
