Sur Sikwate

There's a raw and rustic quality to pure cacao tablea. And it's this rawness that packs a whole lotta punch.

Because of the minimal process involved in producing pure cacao, it retains much of its nutrients, minerals and antioxidants compared to the heavily refined cocoa powder readily found in our supermarket shelves.

Good thing to keep in mind when choosing your hot chocolate, amirite? ☕

Hit us a message or shoot us a DM over at instagram to order our 100% pure cacao tablea sourced from Calinan, Davao del Sur.

Cacao ain't called superfood for nothin'!

Chock full of antioxidants, cacao is also one of the highest plant-based sources of magnesium (for a healthy heart!) and the highest plant-based source of iron (healthy blood yasss)

Our tableas are 100% pure Davao cacao, 100% unadulterated goodness.

Send us a message here or scoot on over to our DM to order!

“How many of our food memories are connected with our mothers?” asks food historian Doreen Fernandez.

“All of us have memories of tastes and experiences, food habits and information that can be directly credited to mothers. “I remember”—one begins, and out it pours: how Mother used to make leche flan from carabao’s milk with rinds of dayap; how Mama showed me, on the farm during the war, how to make longganisa—drying and blowing out the pork intestines, chopping, mixing the meat and spices, stuffing long, fat sausages, and dividing them with a string. Or how Inay made buro—or chocolate cake, or Food for the Gods—or how Nanay fed us lugaw, or unborn chicken eggs in tinola when we were sick. Or champorado on rainy days. Or chicken inasal on sunny days. Or how Mommy labored over sugar roses for birthday cakes for our parties.”

So many of our fondest and most lingering memories are lived and relived through our mother’s cooking.

Daghang salamat sa tanan nga inahan ❤️

When one describes food, one does not use words alone, but the readers' remembering as well--of past pleasures, savored sensations. One writes on their reservoirs of pleasure. In effect, one draws on all of the culture that shaped oneself and one’s readers.
