In Peruvian cosmology, the goddess Pachamama represents harmony and beauty when the three realms of existence—UKHU PACHA (underworld), KAY PACHA (worldly manifestation), and HANAN PACHA (cosmic life)—are united. The painter Antonio Huillca Huallpa (Cusco, Peru, *1942) created the painting "Pachamama – Goddess of Fertility" in 2006 using oil on canvas (70 x 45 cm). The painting is now part of the SONQO collection.
Pachamama Cacao is made from 100% Cacao Chuncho, vegan, gluten-free, and of the highest "ceremonial grade" quality. This organic superfood comes from the foot of the mystical Machu Picchu in the Cusco region of Peru and from a farmers' collective that practices "syntropic jungle care".
Pachamama Cacao is a morning source of energy (daily cacao) and is excellent for ceremonial practices (cacao ceremony & cacao celebrations).
The international trade fair in Versailles (France) has twice awarded prizes to this paste, which is produced entirely by hand and "bean to bar." Ceremonial cacao is also called food of the gods. It originally had the Latin name "Theobroma." The word parts "theo" and "broma" translate to "nectar of the gods."
The divinely tasting Pachamama Cacao impresses with its gentle, smooth character. A cup (200ml) of this natural superfood gives you the blissful feeling of a warm embrace.
The effect of Pachamama Cacao is incredibly powerful: it opens the heart in a way that is clearly perceptible physically. No additives have been added to Pachamama Cacao, nor have healthy fats been removed. It therefore optimally supports the vibrations emanating from the heart as they spread throughout the entire body.
Wild and resilient
Furthermore, Pachamama Cacao activates clear focus at work and in sports, it unfolds creativity, strengthens libido for a vibrant sexuality and sharpens awareness for consistent decisions and courageous relationships.
Chuncho means "wild" in Quechua. This original and resilient variety doesn't grow on plantations, but in the wild, surrounded by intact biodiversity. As a result, it contains an immense amount of nutrients. This abundance optimally supports iron, magnesium, and energy levels. Its high quality is also due to natural sun-drying and the original fermentation process. This special method allows Pachamama Cacao to blend exceptionally well with water, eliminating the need for (plant-based) milk in its preparation.
Pachamama Cacao is a purely organic product. The resilient Chuncho beans are cultivated without chemicals or genetic modification. Unlike hybrid varieties, which are harvested several times a year, Chuncho Cacao can only be carefully wild-harvested once a year, following its natural cycle.
The first sip or bite of Pachamama Cacao has a pronounced bitterness. This naturally heightens awareness of your stomach's sensations. As a daily companion, this delicacy can gradually unfold up to 600 different flavors on your palate.
Warning: Do not consume Pachamama Cacao excessively! 20g of Pachamama Cacao is recommended as a daily amount for a Daily Cacao. For a ceremony, SONQO recommends using approximately 30-40g of cacao and 2 x 200ml (400ml total per person) per person.

Is cacao healthy?
Yes, cacao is healthy because it contains many important and valuable ingredients:
Antioxidants promote cardiovascular health and regulate blood pressure.
Magnesium strengthens the health of the heart muscle, reduces stress, and has a detoxifying effect.
- Theobromine has a stimulating effect on the circulatory system.
- other important minerals such as iron, potassium and calcium
- Vitamins of groups B, C and E
Furthermore, cacao has a mood-boosting effect, as it stimulates the body to release endorphins and serotonin. Its high magnesium and iron content makes cacao a popular choice during menstruation.
Is it good to drink cacao every day?
Generally, yes. Most healthy adults can consume 15-25g of cacao daily and thus optimally benefit from its antioxidant effects and many healthy ingredients. Try it yourself and start each day for a week with a delicious Pachamama Cacao.
Can I drink cocoa in the evening?
It's generally possible to drink cacao in the evening. However, cacao typically has a strong stimulating effect while simultaneously being calming and relaxing. Therefore, cacao beginners should ideally drink their cacao in the morning. With more experience, you can enjoy it at any time of day or night. It's important to listen to your body and remember that the effect also depends on your intention and how you're feeling that day.
Why does cacao make you happy?
Cacao's ability to make you happy is due to its ingredients – especially the alkaloid salsolinol. This promotes the release of dopamine in the brain, often referred to as the "happiness hormone." Cacao also contains the amino acid L-tryptophan, which the body converts into serotonin. This neurotransmitter affects both our nervous system and our circulatory system. Serotonin gives the body a sense of inner calm and is said to counteract stress.
Is it safe for me to drink cocoa during pregnancy?
Yes, you can safely drink cocoa during pregnancy. The many healthy ingredients can even have a positive effect on the pregnancy. However, due to increased sensitivity, you might need to reduce the amount from 20g per cup (200ml) by about half. It's best to listen to your body and find the right amount for you.
Is Pachamama Cacao a raw cacao?
Raw cacao is not heated above 42 degrees Celsius during the liquefaction process. Pachamama cacao was heated 2 degrees higher. Therefore, it is not raw cacao.
Nevertheless, Pachamama Cacao is a "ceremonial cacao" because no fat or cacao components have been removed and nothing added. Furthermore, holistic standards were observed during cultivation and harvesting. This means not only ecological and social, but also spiritual sustainability. It's about being in Ayni (harmony, balance) with the earth, the ancestors, and all beings.
Can people with diabetes drink cocoa?
Yes, pure cocoa is generally well-suited for diabetics. Pachamama cocoa contains no added sugar and is naturally low in fructose. Therefore, diabetics can enjoy Pachamama cocoa without any problems. However, if you are still unsure, it's best to consult your doctor.
Why does Pachamama Cacao have no labels or certificates?
The Peruvian producer of Pachamama cacao beans holds an organic certification. SONQO is committed to a holistic lifestyle and forgoes certificates and labels because they only ever consider partial aspects of a holistic ecology. SONQO thus underscores its radically holistic approach.
Where can I learn rituals for my interaction with cacao?
