Experience Cacao as the Ancients Intended
Rather like discovering your grandmother's secret recipe tucked behind the cookbooks, this Lavado-style cacao from the volcanic highlands of Soconusco, Chiapas, offers something genuinely rather special. Sourced from the very region once reserved for Aztec nobility and Mesoamerican priests, each block carries centuries of sacred tradition and ceremonial reverence.
Why Choose Our Mexican Ceremonial Cacao
The Lavado Method: Unlike fermented cacao, these beans are washed and sun-dried immediately after harvest. This wonderfully straightforward approach preserves the cacao's natural intensity, deepens its bitter complexity, and retains considerably more flavanols, antioxidants, and theobromine than conventional processing. Splendid stuff, really.
Pure Potency: With polyphenols at 4,750mg per 100g and theobromine at 1,050mg, this is one of the most potent forms of cacao available for both body and spirit. Rather good news if you're serious about your ritual or meditation practice.
Ethically Sourced and Tested: Every block is heavy metal tested and crafted with genuine reverence for cacao's original form. No shortcuts, no faffing about with unnecessary additives.
Bold, Earthy Character: Expect very dark chocolate notes, black coffee undertones, a slight bitterness, and roasted earthiness. This is cacao without pretension, marvellously authentic.

Texture: The naturally rustic character from traditional stone-grinding is entirely intentional and rather rather splendid. Not a flaw, but rather a feature.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
