Experience a deep sensory connection with the history and spirit of cacao. This immersive tour takes you through the ancestral, artisanal process of cacao: you’ll discover the dried cacao bean, roast it over a traditional clay pan, peel it by hand, and grind it using a stone or mortar—just like in ancient times. The experience culminates in the preparation and tasting of an energizing cacao drink made with honey and spices, all accompanied by live drumming. This journey honors the spirituality, history, and vital force of cacao as "the drink of the gods," awakening body and mind. Includes: Introduction to dried cacao and its ancestral uses Roasting and hand-peeling of cacao beans Traditional grinding with stone or mortar Preparation and tasting of ancestral cacao drink Live music with local drummers
