Buy ceremonial cacao in bulk, with pricing that steps down as the order grows. Every cacao on this page is the same single-origin Chuncho we sell in one-pound sizes, wild-harvested in southern Peru near Quillabamba and processed at origin by the family that grows it.
Bulk pricing here is tiered rather than negotiated. The per-pound price falls at each quantity break, so the ladder is visible before you order and there is nothing to apply for.
Who buys at this level
Facilitators running regular circles, retreat and studio kitchens pouring cacao every morning, cafes putting a ceremonial drinking chocolate on the menu, and households that go through a one-pound bag inside a month.
Choosing a format
Ground cacao dissolves with a whisk and scales easily when you are making many cups at once. Cacao paste is whole cacao in solid form, shaved or chopped and melted into water or plant milk for a thicker cup. Blends and single-serve packets are also available at bulk quantities.
For the largest single size, see the 5 lb ceremonial cacao. For wholesale terms beyond the ladder, contact us.

Ground Cacao & Cacao Paste (Full-Fat) Ceremonial cacao has traditionally been prepared as cacao paste—whole beans ground with their natural cacao butter intact. At Pacha Mana, we honor this tradition by never defatting our cacao, preserving the full character, richness, and quality that ceremonial cacao is meant to offer.
