ORA Whole Cacao Beans, 10oz – Organic, Ethical, Regenerative, Heavy Metals Tested, Unsweetened

Origin and ethics

Ora Pure Ceremonial Cacao Beans come in a 10-ounce package of unsweetened cacao seeds. They are sourced from 300 small organic farms in the foothills of southern Belize, where regenerative, organic-certified agroforestry practices nurture the land and the people. Our team travels to each cacao community to build reciprocal, long-term relationships that support thriving families and thriving ecosystems.

Processing and flavor

After harvest, cacao pods are opened, the fruit and seeds are separated, and fermentation helps develop a full, chocolatey profile. The beans are dried in the warm tropical sun, then roasted at a low temperature to preserve the natural compounds while bringing out aroma and depth. This approach is inspired by traditional techniques from Oaxaca, using a clay-style roasting method and open-fire-inspired care.

What makes Ora Pure distinctive

• Ethical and Direct Trade: We work with hundreds of small farms and maintain on-site relationships that reflect long-term commitment.
• Indigenous stewardship: 75% of farming families are Q’eqchi’ and Mopan Maya, growing cacao with deep ecological understanding.
• Regenerative, organic farming: Agroforestry supports biodiversity and soil health across each community.
• Safety and transparency: The cacao beans are tested for heavy metals, helping you feel confident about what you’re enjoying.
