These natural stimulants support focus, clarity, and sustained energy without the crash. Nacional cacao is prized for its unique balance of neurotransmitter-boosting flavanols.
  • 🍃 Rich IN ANTIOXIDANTS – Nacional cacao is one of the most antioxidant-dense foods in the world, offering protection against oxidation and free radicals. With its distinct floral aroma and smooth finish, this heirloom cacao delivers both a powerful nutritional profile and a refined sensory experience—far beyond that of ordinary chocolate.
  • 🔮 Perfect FOR CEREMONIES – Revered for its heart-opening qualities, Nacional ceremonial cacao invites connection, mindfulness, and deep presence. Traditionally prepared as a warm, rich cacao drink, it enhances meditation, ritual, and group ceremony by opening the senses and supporting inner clarity.

Pure, unprocessed, and free from additives, it preserves the integrity of the land, the farmers, and the sacred lineage of this most ancient cacao.
  • 🌎 Highly VALUED FOR MILLENNIA – The most ancient cacao genetic, Cacao Nacional, is known for its natural sweetness, carefully selected for the perfect ceremonies. It was thought to have become extinct in the early 2000's, but has now made a rare and unique comeback!

Journey with us to ECUADOR

We first met our suppliers at the world’s largest cacao festival in Paris in 2024—a place where the world’s finest farmers and producers come together. After tasting nearly fifty samples, one stood apart — a bean of overwhelming history and rare distinction.It wasn’t just the tremendously rich flavour that captured us, but the tradition woven into every sip.

The Nacional bean is the oldest known cacao variety, grown as a single origin and crafted in small local batches. With each cup, it carries the lineage of human consumption — a connection to centuries past that we can still feel today.

Harvest and fermentation

Ripe cacao pods are hand-harvested, beans scooped out, and fermented in small wooden boxes for several days to develop flavour.

Drying & Roasting

Beans are sun-dried, cleaned, and then gently roasted to unlock the deep aroma and flavour unique to Nacional bean.

Why is our cacao

CEREMONIAL?

Semveta cacao is made in the most natural way possible. We work directly with farmers who grow and prepare the rare Nacional bean as a single origin. They take care of the whole process themselves, from harvest to fermentation and drying, with no middlemen involved. Each small batch is crafted with care, and kept pure — nothing added, nothing taken away.

WHAT CACAO MEANS TO US?

Since founding Semveta in 2021, cacao has been at the heart of everything we do. We began working with small farmers in Peru and Ecuador, always searching for the perfect balance of taste and intention.

After years of ceremonies and countless experimental recipes, we’ve come to believe there is no better superfood for the heart, mind, and spirit. Cacao helps us reconnect with our inner child, unlock creativity, and nurture positive thoughts. To learn more about our interesting flavourful recipes click below!
