The origin of a cacao with soul
This cacao marked the beginning of Sumay.
I discovered it in the Cusco region of Peru, where a local farmer has been cultivating his family's land for three generations. When I first tasted it, I felt a deep and spontaneous joy, something that came straight from the heart. That’s when I decided to go and find the source.
There, surrounded by bamboo and flowing water, I found a living plantation. Old cacao trees planted with care, homemade organic fertilizers made from the unused parts of the fruit, and a deep respect for the earth and the ancestors. Everything made sense. The energy I felt when drinking it was rooted in that land and the love it holds.
A living food, not a treat
This cacao, gentle and chocolatey on the palate, was the one I chose to begin Sumay. It’s also the base for many of our blends: Kids, Active Life, Fresh, and the seasonal varieties.
It’s a noble cacao—versatile and perfect for those looking for a deep yet approachable experience. It is not a candy, not a sweet craving, but a complete and living ancestral food.
It’s rich in magnesium, iron, antioxidants, and other essential minerals that support our bodies throughout the day.
For those seeking energy, clarity, and connection
I recommend this cacao to anyone who wants to begin exploring cacao as a daily ally—especially as a coffee alternative or a nourishing ritual.
Ceremonial cacao gives sustained energy without overstimulating the nervous system. Unlike coffee, it doesn’t cause anxiety or energy crashes. Thanks to theobromine, the body is gently activated and remains focused and grounded.
Cacao also contains compounds that naturally boost the production of serotonin and melatonin, which help lift the mood and support restful sleep when taken at the right time.
Many of my customers who drink it daily report greater energy, clearer focus, and a deeper sense of wellbeing. They feel happier. And it’s not a coincidence—cacao works with the heart, both physically and emotionally.
How to drink it daily
You can prepare it as simply as mixing it with hot water, or add soft spices, plant-based milk, or even dates and nuts. It’s a great way to start your day with clean energy, or to take a conscious pause during work or study.
Cacao becomes a gentle companion—natural, alive, and connected to a long ancestral story.
Ancestral medicine for everyday life
Vida Cotidiana Cacao is not a sweet snack: it’s an ancestral, pure, and complete food.
And when we’re ready to change something in our life—our habits, our mood, or our health—cacao can walk that path with us, in a real and powerful way.
