KatierraSweets & Confectionery. My journey with Mama Cacao began years ago, during a yoga workshop, when my first cup of cacao brought a profound sense of connection and a vision of an elder from Guatemala. I felt, in that moment, that cacao had a place in my life. A year later, I travelled through Central and South America, visiting cacao farms and learning about the harvesting, fermentation, and preparation of cacao, while spending time with local communities and learning about herbs, natural traditions, and living in harmony with Mother Earth. Everything is handmade with care, using natural ingredients and without synthetic chemicals.
