If you could thank Mama Cacao for how she has positively impacted your life, what would you say to her? What are you truly grateful for about cacao?
We are excited to announce that we are supporting Thank You Plant Medicine Day on February 20th. On TYPM Day, people from around the world will be publicly sharing their stories of healing with plant medicines and psychedelics. The intention is to create a collective wave of gratitude and awareness to end the stigma around these healing plants.
Below, we’ll share all the details of how you can get involved in the TYPM movement.
But first, let us highlight the gratitude expressed by our farming partners and customers in their experiences with Mama Cacao.
May these stories inspire you to heighten your awareness and deepen your gratitude for the healing and loving elder plant spirit of cacao.

Literal plant medicine!

⚡ Thank You Thriving Tanzania ⚡
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Thank You
Incredible product to give and receive. It's been a blessing to add this to my morning rituals. Thriving Tanzania is sooo buttery and delicious. Each sip makes me grateful to be a part of such a beautiful existence. - Erin
🔥 Thank You Oaxacan Spice 🔥
So perfect for winter in Vermont. Every morning, I sit on my front porch to drink cacao and meditate. This practice started in earnest last March. Oaxacan Spice is a perfect blend to keep me warm as the temperature drops on those early mornings. - Chris W.
☀️ Thank You Vibrant Vitality ☀️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Thank You
I absolutely love it for hormone balance and natural stamina and energy. I'm in a changing hormonal cycle of my life, and I was having a significant amount of trouble...until I started using this product. As soon as I feel any fatigue or related hormonal symptoms, I go to this blend. It's also great for natural stamina if you're worn out, or been pushing yourself a little too hard. This blend is one of my favorites. I always have some in stock in my pantry. - Jennifer W.
🌊 Thank You Boundless Belize 🌊
Favorite for meditation and journaling. Absolutely love. This cacao helps me feel limitless and gets creative juices flowing. I love it for journaling, meditation, playing on my yoga mat, and exploring the outdoors.

🌹 Thank You Tantric Rose 🌹
Heart opening! Absolutely love the new space I have created for myself and cacao. This has helped me create an intimate and loving relationship with myself. I learned to put and hold boundaries in the most loving and gracious way. Thank you! - Teresa M
💜 Thank You Glowing Guatemala 💜
Helping me find ME, one cup at a time. [Cacao helps me] THINK about what I'm ingesting, appreciate things, & slow my mind down. The results have been wonderful!... I'm happier, more positive, & calmer...It's really playing a part in my well being. Even on days I don't drink it, I find that I'm taking a few minutes here and there and being alone with myself. - Sarah R.
