RECIPROCITY:   Giving back.

Our mission at Cacao Junajpu is to bring the ancestral flavor and magic of Guatemalan Cacao to as many people as we can throughout the Planet!   We produce a balanced, integral food, while highlighting sustainability and small production values.  We are a small-batch business, sourcing our ingredients face to face from small, family owned farms.   We know that cacao can make a big difference in the lives of those that drink it, and we feel that it should have an equal positive impact in the lives of the  communities that produce it.

Learning from the past, living in the present, and building for the future.
A small bit of economic growth can have tremendous impact here in Guatemala. 
We have been partnering with a small Maya cacao producing village in San Andres Osuna for some years now.  We love visiting their village, but even more, we love the fact that by working with them, we are not just sourcing heirloom cacao — we are helping to preserve forests, strengthen biodiversity, and create climate-smart farming for generations to come. Most importantly, this work means real opportunities.  The women of the village are now reaching for something extraordinary — a National Geographic “Building Resilience in Agriculture” grant — that could transform their cacao project into international scale. We are super proud to have signed our commitment letter in support, standing side by side with them on this journey. 

These are the happy cacao Ladies.
