The magical experience of cacao...
In this way, we begin our gathering by lighting the fire, the fire of our hearts. We taste the raw cacao bean, roast it, and peel it together. On a metate, we pulverize it and add it to the pot to prepare the beverage and incorporate the mixes. Or we shape the paste to make chocolate. Through the different stages the bean undergoes in its transformation into a beverage or chocolate, we experience the different stages of our relationship with cacao.
The fire, the songs, the legends, the aroma of copal, cinnamon, sage, and the very toasting of the seed, the tasting raw, cooked, and mixed with honey, chili, and cinnamon, provide a complete and consistent experience that leaves those who have the opportunity to live it with a range of traditional Mexica flavors and aromas, in addition to an experience that transports us to a sensation and feeling of happiness and fullness. Highly recommended for couples, families, or any occasion, it is a good opportunity to feel the benefits that cacao allows us to experience.
