Welcome to Cacao Junajpu
(pronounced: Hoon-ah-pooh)
Rooted in the heart of Guatemala and carried through Maya lineage, Junajpu carries the living spirit and alchemy of Maya cacao—hand-crafted, organic, and alive with ancestral magic. A truly unique and delicious ancient recipe that will awaken the senses and open the heart: a perfect balance of flavor, vitality, and ceremony.
Crafted with Intention, Blessed with Reverence
Each micro-batch of Cacao Junajpu is consciously crafted and ceremonially blessed here in our shop in Antigua, Guatemala. We use an ancestral whole-bean cacao method and blend it with a magical alchemy of Maya spices, flowers, rare native vanilla beans, and deeply grounding panela.
Our cacao is sourced in limited quantities—as nature provides—directly from our Maya farming partners.
Every step, from harvest to blessing, honors the Earth, the farmers, and the ancient tradition that moves through this work.
Taste the origin. Taste the Magic.

We weave the unique energy of each day from the Maya Sacred Calendar
into our cacao. It carries not just exquisite flavor, but the living
frequency of each day's sacred purpose.
