Revealing the Story of Cacao

From Bean to SoulPops

If you were wondering where Cacao comes from, this article is for you! Come with us as we take you on the journey of Cacao.

The Heart of Amazonian Peru

This is where we find the source of our magical Cacao beans – the Theobroma Cacao tree. Cherished by ancient civilisations for centuries, these sacred plants are sustainably cultivated by local farmers using techniques and traditions passed down through generations.

Transformation from Cacao Pod to Cacao Nibs

From moment Cacao pods are tenderly hand-harvested, a story of transformation unfolds. The flesh of the Cacao fruit is removed, and after careful fermentation and sun-drying, the beans (which are actually seeds) reach the pinnacle of flavour. They are then gently roasted, husked and crushed, resulting in Cacao nibs.

Crafting SoulPops from Cacao Nibs

The pure Cacao nibs journey to Australia where their next stage of magical evolution continues. We grind the nibs into liquid form (known as Cacao liquor) and infuse it with natural sweetness before hand-crafting our SoulPops.

Made By Us, For You

After many years of enjoying Cacao, we wanted to create a unique product to share with you. Preparing Ceremonial Cacao in the traditional way can be difficult, often with a less than palatable result. SoulPops have been created to ensure a perfect cup, every time, so you can effortlessly incorporate this amazing plant medicine into your every day.
