From Farm to Cup - The Journey of Our Ceremonial Cacao ‘Fifth Element Original’
THE CACAO FARMS - The cacao is grown in the traditional Mayan way. On the farm, 3 traditional Kotzij' (ceremonies) are held to pay respect to the cacao trees: when it is planted, when it blooms and when it is harvested!
In addition, every person who enters the farm purifies themselves with incense to free themselves from negative energies and bring only positive energy into the room and the ceremonial cacao.
BIODIVERSITY - Part of the ceremonial cacao production is left to the animals that also feed on it, in order to respect the symbiotic relationship of the cacao with the local flora and fauna. In addition, no chemicals come near the cacao and the farmers only use ancient agricultural methods.
PRODUCTION - The ceremonial cacao is made by hand. From drying in the sun to roasting and peeling, to grinding in the traditional metate, every step of the process is done by hand. Ajq'ijab' (Mayan spiritual leaders) energize the cacao during the process by purifying it and incorporating it into traditional spiritual practices that fill it with energy.
PACKAGING - We use a special paper that protects the ceremonial cacao and its aroma. The cacao is then packed in traditional Mayan bags that play the role of physical and spiritual protection on the journey around the world to your home. The bags are made by an indigenous artisan workshop.
Why we founded the shop
For personal reasons, we have been dealing with the topic of healing for some time, be it physical, mental or spiritual. We quickly realized that we need more meaning in life and that the best way to achieve this is to help people and support them on their path to healing.
The most important thing to remember is that body and mind are one. An unbalanced body can affect our mental health, just as an unbalanced mind can have a negative effect on our body.
In addition to the mental work, it is therefore also important to pay attention to keeping our body fit and healthy and to provide it with all the nutrients it needs on the road to healing. This is exactly what we try to do with the products in our shop.
Dealing with the topic of nutrition these days can be very complicated and confusing. Not all sources always agree on what our bodies need. Especially when it comes to a vegan diet, there are many rumors circulating about which nutrients are missing and which nutritional supplements you need to take in order to "still" be healthy.
We are constantly looking for the right superfoods that contain important nutrients and are completely natural and plant-based. So become part of our community and stay up to date on what new foods we'll be conjuring up next. Maybe we can even surprise you with one or two of the foods.

Our vision
Ceremonial cacao is currently the heart of our shop. It is not just its incredible effect on our bodies that makes it a very special product for us. The sale of ceremonial cacao supports the indigenous peoples of Guatemala and promotes social projects. That is why we are particularly pleased when we sell ceremonial cacao or a traditional Mayan product.
We would like to find more products like this for our shop. Products that help our customers and the people in the country of origin. We are always open to your suggestions.
Because hopefully this is just the beginning!
In the long term, we would like to help more than just people. It has always been our dream to look after street dogs and give them a good home. We want to use the shop to finance this dream and open a dog shelter to give the animals a good life until they are adopted. We would be delighted if you would support us in our vision!
