Today, Inkakaw and San José Chocolate become one. And I want to tell you why this was always inevitable.
It starts with our family’s farm. Hacienda San José has been growing cacao in Los Ríos, Ecuador for five generations. In 2018, mom brought that chocolate to Minneapolis — and this city welcomed us with open arms.
That welcome gave us courage. As a family, we decided to do more than import our cacao. We wanted to make something here, with our own hands, in our new home. So we did. Inkakaw was born — hot chocolates, spreads, and brewing cacao crafted right here in Minnesota, using cacao from our family’s hacienda.
But the truth is, this story was never really about two brands. It was always about one family — Ecuadorian and Minnesotan, rooted in one country and raised in another.
Our parents came to Minnesota from Ecuador. They left everything to build something new. And Minnesota didn’t just accept us — it raised us, expanded our family, gave us community and belonging.
We are a mixed family. And so is our chocolate. 🇪🇨🇺🇸
Starting April 1st, find us at . Everything you love about Inkakaw lives on — just under one roof.
Thank you for being part of it. 🙏🏽

Handcrafted in Minnesota. Rooted in Ecuador. 🍫
The Inkakaw chocolate bars are made with simple, clean ingredients — and cacao from Hacienda San José, a fifth-generation family farm in Los Ríos, Ecuador.
You might recognize that name. San José Chocolate is our family’s other brand. The same award-winning, single-origin cacao that has been grown by our family for nearly a century, now at the heart of every Inkakaw bar.
Local hands. Family cacao. Nothing complicated.
Just chocolate the way it was always meant to be made. 🌱

Inkakaw’s hot chocolate and chocolate spreads are made with San José Chocolate! a single-origin, bean-to-bar chocolate crafted from cacao grown at Hacienda San José, a fifth-generation family farm in Los Ríos, Ecuador.
And what makes them Inkakaw? They’re crafted right here in Minnesota. Ecuadorian cacao, local hands, small batches.
From our family’s farm to your kitchen. 🌱🏡
Both in the link in bio.

Before coffee, there was cacao. ☕

For thousands of years, Amazonian cultures didn’t reach for a bean to start their day, they reached for cacao. Warm, grounding, and alive with natural energy that builds slowly and leaves without a crash.

Inkakaw Brewing Cacao is sourced from Kichwa ancestral farmers in the Ecuadorian Amazon and Hacienda San Jose. Prepared the way it has always been prepared — with intention, with warmth, and with respect for everything this plant carries.

This isn’t a trend. It’s a return.

Try it tomorrow morning. Put the kettle on, set your intention, and let cacao do what it has always done.

🌱 Wild Amazonian cacao
⚡ Natural energy — no crash, no compromise

You know where our Amazon cacao comes from.
But did you know there is another origin behind everything we believe in? A fifth-generation family farm in Los Ríos, Ecuador: Hacienda San José. Where cacao has been grown with intention, care, and an unwavering commitment to the land since the 1930s.
Farm cacao and wild cacao. An hacienda and a rainforest. Two origins that have always shared the same soul.
They’re about to share the same home. 👀
Something is coming. 🏡🌱

Deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, this cacao grows the way it always has — wild, free, rooted in a land that Kichwa farmers have protected for centuries. No plantations. No ordered rows. Just the forest, and a relationship between people and cacao that predates any recipe, any industry, any trend.
This is where Inkakaw begins.
