Soul Lift Cacao

Soul Lift Cacao (a division of Inner Waymark LLC) is a social enterprise based in Portland, Oregon, that works with family farms and collectives in Guatemala to provide some of the world’s best ceremonial cacao. Our mission is to make delicious ceremonial cacao available in the U.S. and beyond, in a way that way promotes mindfulness, supports sustainable farming, and protects indigenous traditions. Soul Lift Cacao is for people living ahead of the curve, who want food that’s both healthy and delicious, and who want their actions to make a positive difference in the world. These are entrepreneurs, yoga teachers, gourmet foodies, outdoors-people, spa owners – movers and shakers who feel most alive when they’re learning and growing. We sell pure ceremonial cacao paste on our website and at our cacao cafe. And we've been gradually revealing some tasty, nutritious superfood snacks and drinking chocolate mixes. Unlike most cacao brands in the grocery stores or on the web, we only source from small family farms and collectives with sustainable practices and no GMOs, who create products of superior flavor and sensation. We develop direct trade relationships with our suppliers, who all incorporate Mayan indigenous wisdom as they produce the cacao on a human scale. That means selecting beans by hand, and roasting them over a wood fire instead of in a propane oven. This way we support safe working conditions and above-average pay that rise above general chocolate industry standards. We acknowledge that a lot of harm has been done in the hot and humid parts of the world where cacao grows, and we seek to remedy the wrongdoings of the past by having a net positive impact on the people and places that produce our cacao.
