MAYA MOON CACAO

MAYA MOON CACAO 100% Organic Ceremonial Grade Cacao. Indigenous Women Owners of Mayan heritage from 🇬🇹

The basic ceremonial cacao recipe. From our hands to yours.

Three tablespoons of cacao block for one person. Eight ounces of hot water. A touch of honey if you like it sweet. And our Spices Elixir to complete the ritual.

The Spices Elixir is not just flavor. Ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and cayenne each one supporting digestion and warming the body from the inside. Together with the cacao, it becomes something completely different.

No sugar. No dairy. No shortcuts.

Just organic Guatemalan cacao, hot water, honey and spice. Two minutes. That is the whole ritual.

Set your intention before you take the first sip. That is the part most people skip.

Share your experience with us in the comments. We want to know how your ritual feels. 🌙

New to ceremonial cacao? Here is where to start.

The Spices Elixir is made for you. Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cayenne blended with organic Guatemalan cacao paste. Warm, spiced, smooth. The gentlest way to begin your cacao ritual.

Already know cacao? The classic ceremonial cacao block is your foundation. One ingredient. Pure organic cacao paste from 195 Q'eqchi' families in Cahabón, Guatemala. Roasted in an artisan oven, hand-peeled, stone-ground by Kaqchikel Maya women in San Marcos La Laguna. Nothing added. Nothing removed.

And if you want the full experience, the kits have everything you need to start your cacao ceremony the traditional way, including our ancestral molinillo.

Three ways in. One ceremonial cacao.

Certified Ceremonial Cacao, Founding Licensee. The first legally registered ceremonial cacao certification in the world.

Where would you start  the Spices Elixir or the classic cacao block? 🌙

We tested two ceremonial cacaos side by side. The difference shocked us and it will shock you too.

Same category. Same price point. Completely different product.

The color is the first sign. Real ceremonial grade cacao made from fine aromatic Criollo cacao beans has a deep, rich, almost mahogany color. The natural cacao butter is intact. The fermentation was done right 6 to 8 days in banana leaves in Cahabón, Guatemala. The roasting was controlled. The stone-grinding was slow and careful.

Bulk cacao  the kind most brands use without telling you is pale. Flat. It has been processed without traceability, without quality control at harvest, without attention to fermentation or roast profile. It is cacao in name only.

The texture confirms everything. Fine aromatic ceremonial cacao paste has fat. Real cacao butter that survived the process intact. It melts in your hands. It has weight. It has presence.

Bulk cacao is dry and crumbly. The fat was removed or was never there to begin with.

And the taste is not even a conversation.

The difference between Maya Moon Cacao and what most brands sell is not branding. It is traceability. Every batch we make is traced from the specific harvest in Cahabón, through fermentation in banana leaves, through fire-roasting, through hand-peeling, through stone-grinding in San Marcos La Laguna. We know exactly what went into every block you hold.

Most brands cannot say that. Because they don't know.

Certified Ceremonial Cacao® Maya Moon is a Founding Licensee. The first legally registered ceremonial grade cacao certification in the world. Built specifically because the difference between real ceremonial cacao and bulk cacao matters and most people can't see it until they hold both at the same time.

Now you can see it.

Would you be able to tell the difference? 🌙

This is why Maya Moon Cacao exists.

In 2019, Lisa was working for foreign companies in Guatemala. Doing real work. Getting paid unfairly for it.

Her sister looked at her and said — stop building someone else's vision. Let's build our own.

That conversation became Maya Moon Cacao.

What started as two sisters from San Marcos La Laguna, Lake Atitlán, now supports 15 Kaqchikel Maya single mothers who stone-grind, fire-roast, and hand-craft every batch of ceremonial cacao paste you receive.

Not a wellness brand that discovered Guatemala.

Two indigenous Maya women who decided their work, their knowledge, and their community deserved better.

6 years. 195 Q'eqchi' farming families in Cahabón. 15 Maya single mothers in San Marcos. Cacao beans fermented in banana leaves. Stone-ground into ceremonial grade cacao paste.

This is Part 3 of our story. And it started with one conversation between two sisters.

What made you start something of your own? 🌙

Part 2 Inside the Maya Moon Cacao workshop in San Marcos La Laguna, Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.

This is where ceremonial grade cacao is made. From the moment the raw cacao beans arrive from 195 Q'eqchi' families in Cahabón, Alta Verapaz  to the final ceremonial cacao block you hold in your hands.

The cacao beans are stored at specific temperatures to preserve every ceremonial property intact. No shortcuts. No industrial processing. Just controlled conditions that protect the integrity of the cacao beans before they become ceremonial cacao paste.

Then the artisan workshop Kaqchikel Maya women stone-grinding, hand-peeling, fire-roasting. Small batch production only. Every batch made to order so your ceremonial grade cacao arrives fresh, not sitting in a warehouse for months.

Small stock. Always fresh. Always ceremonial grade.

And at the center of it all a sacred altar. The same kind of altar where Maya grandmothers and grandfathers held cacao ceremony for thousands of years. Still alive. Still present. Still part of every batch we make.

This is not a factory. This is a living workshop where ceremonial cacao paste is made with intention, knowledge, and respect for what cacao actually is.

Certified Ceremonial Cacao® Founding Licensee. The first legally registered certification in the world.

Part 3 coming the story behind why Maya Moon exists. Stay tuned. 🌙

There is a village on the shores of Lake Atitlán that holds something most people never expect to find.

San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala.

Surrounded by volcanoes. Held by water. Alive with something ancient.

This is where Maya Moon Cacao is made.

Not in a factory. Not in a warehouse.

In a workshop on the edge of the most beautiful lake in the world, by women who learned this craft from their mothers, who learned it from theirs.

Part 2 is coming and we're taking you inside.

The hands. The fire. The stone mill. The moment cacao becomes ceremony.

Stay tuned. You don't want to miss this. 🌙

IX.

Three letters.

One of the most powerful words in Mayan languages.

In K'iche' Maya, IX means woman. In Yucatec Maya, it means jaguar. Both are true.

Because the women who tend our cacao, who roast it, who grind it into ceremony they are both.

Soft and fierce.

Nurturing and untamed.

195 Q'eqchi' farming families. Kaqchikel artisans in San Marcos. Single mothers teaching their daughters. Grandmothers passing knowledge to grandsons.

This is the legacy of IX.

Not femininity as weakness.

Not power as hardness.

Femininity as the force that creates. Power as the strength to protect.

IXCacao is their story. Their hands. Their refusal to let this knowledge die.

Every block you hold is a prayer to that legacy.

We tend to think that opening a bag of coffee is the fastest way to get energy in the morning, and that authentic cacao is only for slow weekends.

Let’s look at the actual math on your screen:

The Coffee Routine: Grinding, waiting for the kettle, brewing, and cleaning up the machine or the French press. Total time: 5 to 7 minutes of friction.

The Fresh Ground Reality: One scoop of Maya Moon directly into your cup, hot water, and frothing for 20 seconds. Total time: Under 1 minute. Zero cleanup.

Our Fresh Ground version is exactly that: our traditional 100% pure solid block, micro-ground in our workshop so you get the complete whole-fat matrix and raw nutrients without needing a cutting board or a knife.

You don’t need to change your lifestyle or find an extra 30 minutes in your morning to experience real ceremonial cacao. You just need 60 seconds for a sustained, clean focus completely free of the coffee jitters and the afternoon crash.

Stop overcomplicating your routine. Tap the link in our bio to grab the 1 Lb Fresh Ground and speed up your morning focus.

Solid block or fresh ground which one is right for you?
Same origin. Same hands. Same intention. The difference is in how you experience the ritual.
The solid block is for those who want the full ceremonial preparation slow, intentional, ancestral.
The fresh ground is for those who want the ritual without the wait quick, accessible, perfect for busy mornings or the trail.
Both are 100% pure ceremonial cacao paste. Whole bean. Nothing added. Nothing taken away. Crafted by Indigenous Kaqchikel women in Guatemala.
Which one calls to you? Link in bio to explore both.

Today is Mother's Day. 

The most powerful gift you can give her today is not something you buy.

It is a moment. Real and unhurried. Shared over ceremonial cacao, made by hand by Indigenous women in Guatemala.

Because some rituals are worth more than any gift.
