Our latest Ceremonial Cacao
Saoro Experience is delighted to present In Beauty I Walk, a unique treasure from Peru.
Made from the Chuncho Cacao Bean which is renowned for its exceptional quality, rich flavor profile, and cultural significance.
Originating from the lush rainforests of Peru, specifically within the high jungle of Quillabamba close to Machu Picchu, the Chuncho variety is considered one of the most prized cacao beans in the world. Its uniqueness stems from both its genetic heritage and the traditional practices of indigenous communities, particularly the Machiguenga tribe.
THE COFFEE ALTERNATIVE
People in the holistic space have been aware of the magic of cacao for years. We now want to create a Cacao revolution, where people swap their daily coffee for a delicious and nutritious cup of Cacao energy.
This is why we created Saoró Barista Cacao:
The Ceremonial Journey
There’s more to your cup of ceremonial cacao than the act of making it from your chosen block or bar of cacao. The journey from the rainforests of Bali is part of the ceremony; you aren’t just consuming a drink, you are a participant in this journey.
Like any ecosystem, a rainforest is a balance of give and take between the wildlife. Cacao trees were originally native to the jungles of South America and now occupy a similar niche in the Balinese rainforests. They are semi-wild; left to themselves they fit effortlessly into the landscape as they are relatively small “understory” trees. With some thoughtful attention they can produce reliable crops without threatening the forest around them.
A deep dive by Prof. Steven Abbot for Saoró.
We source & sell high quality sustainable, great value Ceremonial Cacao to a wide audience.
We honour & spread the values of the sacred plant of Cacao by supporting a holistic heart-centred community space that supports individual & collective healing. Ultimately our individual work together flows into the collective field for greater kindness, harmony & creativity.
Whether you are here to buy Cacao, increase your knowledge about the Cacao, find a holistic event or a nearby holistic practitioner, or join our lively blogging community of healers, poets & artists – you are very welcome!
Together we thrive

'Cacao and Me Since 2023', It's been 2 years since I really began to connect with Mama Cacao. In that time my connection with her has ebbed and flowed. Ive had regular, daily doses that became part of my routine, I've had times where I've stepped back from her, and I've had times where she called me in to dive deep within myself.
We’re so excited to introduce the creative force behind the incredibly stunning Andean Hummingbird on our Premium Peruvian Ceremonial Cacao: Vik Crobio — illustrator, muralist and tattoo artist from Cusco, Peru.

Cacao has been a very gentle and subtle teacher, however when needed, packs a punch! It has been extremely emotional. Sitting with Cacao has helped me give myself permission to stop. To listen. To feel. To learn. To trust and to love… myself.
When I began holding Cacao ceremonies myself, I found that the guided meditations would pour through me effortlessly — as though her spirit was speaking through me, like a river of wisdom and story.
As a young man growing up in the west of Ireland I had shut down my feeling heart, it was too painful. Nothing dramatic but a consistent stream of “big boys don’t cry, get up and get on with it, don’t be a soft lad, toughen up...
