Cacao: A Sensory Experience

When was the last time you truly connected with something ancient — through taste, scent, and story?

This isn’t just a chocolate workshop.
It’s a journey into the heart of Mexican cacao — a chance to slow down, reconnect, and feel the roots of a tradition that goes back thousands of years.

In this 2-hour hands-on experience, we’ll awaken all five senses with cacao, just like our ancestors once did:

🌿 Roast and peel the beans with your own hands
🪨 Grind them on a metate, the same stone tool used for generations
🌶️ Smell the rich aromas of native spices like cinnamon, chile, and flor de cacao
🍫 Taste two drinks — one pure and ceremonial, one ancestral recipe.
💬 Listen to stories that live in every seed — from ancient civilizations to today’s cacao farmers in Tabasco

This workshop is about connection.
To the land. To culture. To the people who keep these traditions alive. And to yourself.

✨ Take home your own cacao paste
🌱 Support fair-trade farmers and living traditions.
