Spirit of the Jaguar:
This powerful Ceremonial Cacao is grown in Putumayo, a diverse and beautiful region bordering the Amazon. Lush with jungle and teeming with wildlife, the people of Putumayo have long been the caretakers of the most sacred of medicines.

The lands where this cacao is grown belong to the Siona, Kofan, and Inga peoples, and their traditions have protected the ancestral knowledge and the medicines for centuries. Connect with the spirit of the jungle in your daily rituals, or share in community, this cacao activates our awareness of our unbreakable connection to the great mother earth.

Long before cacao was cultivated and spread throughout the world, the indigenous folks of the Amazon discovered the fruit from a small bush. The tribes learned to utilize cacao, and started trading and sharing via canoes. Eventually, cacao made its way to the Gulf of Mexico and traveled the entire world.

Nestled deep within the lush landscapes of the Amazon rainforest, the tribes of Putumayo have managed to preserve their unique way of life despite the encroachment of modern civilization. With their deep connection to nature and profound wisdom, the Siona, Inga and Cofan people are a paramount example of indigenous resilience and cultural

preservation. These tribes possess a deep knowledge of the ecosystem they inhabit. They possess an intimate understanding of the medicinal plants that grow in the rainforest, utilizing them to heal various ailments and maintain their overall well-being. Their extensive knowledge of the rainforest’s biodiversity has earned them the reputation of being guardians of the Amazon.

This cacao is grown by a co-op, composed of 100 families including those of Siona, Cofan and Inga heritage. These are their ancestral lands, lost to the violence, drugs and mining, the people of this land are working hard to leave the past. Cacao is an important part of the process, providing new revenue and opportunities.
