Cocoa Mass - Peru Ashcoyacu

Peruvian Cocoa - one of the most intense flavors in our assortment. The cocoa perfectly blends fruity (slightly tangy) freshness and coffee notes, all culminating in a nutty finish.

Cocoa mass for your daily rituals

Cocoa - for productivity, energy, and concentration. 100% cocoa contains magnesium and theobromine, providing a relaxing effect during meditation, helping with focus, and keeping you alert throughout the day. Cocoa mass can be used as a drink, to enhance baked goods, or to make specialty chocolate. Cocoa -  a superfood for those seeking a more natural and healthier lifestyle.

Where it's grown

The cocoa farms are located in the "Marañon" canyon, a region where high-quality cocoa has been grown for centuries. In this remote, horseshoe-shaped canyon, surrounded by hills, a unique microclimate is created, with the trees thriving at an altitude of 1,000-1,250 meters.
To maintain biodiversity, cocoa is grown using an agroforestry system. Along with cocoa, avocado, guava, and banana trees are grown on the farms.
