Cacao is a delicious power-charged superfood with proven health benefits.
But. There's a dark side.
Industrial style cacao farms destroy rainforests and exploit people.
Deforestation and industrial farming are the biggest drivers of climate change.
Corporations get rich while farmers stay poor.
We do it differently.
At Sueño de Vida we're
Reforesting. We've planted thousands of trees to restore deforested land.
Regenerative. We honor traditional farming ways that work with nature.
Respectful. We provide a safe workplace and pay fair wages.
Radically transparent. We show you exactly how we reinvest our product sales into rainforests, people, and community.
All profits from sales go directly to our rainforest regeneration and community outreach work.
Thank you!

WHOLE BEAN CACAO
10oz. $20.00
Pure and simple. The perfect superfood snack. Eat it right out of the bag. Add to a smoothie or breakfast bowl. Top a salad or chili. Make granola, cookies, and more.
When I ate a few beans, I was overwhelmed with an amazing sensory experience. Such depth of flavor and different flavor notes depending on the bean…The freshness and quality is above any other regeneratively grown cacao I have purchased to date.

SdV SIGNATURE CACAO BLENDS
VERSATILE. Brew a delicious hot drink. Add to your favorite baking recipes. Stir into a bowl of oatmeal or mix into a smoothie.
ARTISANAL. We carefully hand-mill the cacao beans and spices in small batches for an authentic flavor-rich experience. No machines, no additives, all love.
NOURISHING. We custom blend select spices sustainably and locally grown in Ecuador — like turmeric, cardamom, black pepper, and ishpingo — to energize your body, soothe your soul, and harmonize the natural dark chocolate taste of pure cacao.
Our original blend combines the power of cacao with the antioxidant and health boosting benefits of cardamom, turmeric, and Ishpingo sustainably grown in the tropical rainforest.
Our custom blended Masala Mix warms you up with the flavors reminiscent of your favorite chai latte — cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, star anise & black pepper.
Teas & Spices
Because our farm is a really a forest of edible plants, we cultivate many other fruits, flowers, herbs and spices alongside our heirloom cacao trees. We also offer our pure golden turmeric, a proven antioxidant and anti-inflammatory spice. Or try our refreshing Flor de Jamaica, rich in Vitamin C, magnesium and calcium.
Our turmeric is shade grown under the forest canopy. It has a deep golden orange color and warm mildly spicy flavor. Use it in your favorite Indian dishes, soups, stews, and golden milk lattes.
Flor de Jamaica is a tropical hibiscus widely cultivated throughout Africa and Latin America. The beautiful red fruit calyxes are used to make refreshing beverages, desserts, syrups, preserves and medicinal tonics.
A Note on Shipping:
We are a small independent business and pride ourselves on paying everyone on the value chain fairly — including the humans who wrap, label, mail, and deliver your order. The expectation of “free shipping” created by huge companies who treat workers as disposable really hurts more ethical concerns like ours.
The shipping rates we charge reflect only what we pay at the post office — we do not profit by it. Please do not allow the “sticker shock” of actually paying for a necessary service like shipping stop you from completing your order. By purchasing our products you are voting with your wallet to make the world a better place.
Thank you.
