Before chocolate became sweet, it was sacred.
The Mayas saw cacao as the drink of gods a symbol of power, love, and connection.
Every seed carried spirit, fire, and purpose.
MAYAO revives that origin organic, pure, and crafted by hand to honour what was once divine.

🌕 Mesoamerican Legacy
We carry the spirit of the Mayas in every creation
For them, cacao was never just food
It was sacred a gift, a ceremony, a language between worlds
They saw it as a bridge
Between earth and sky
Between the human and the divine
Every cup of MAYAO is a quiet act of remembrance
A ritual reborn in modern hands, crafted with care and soul
It was born in London
But its heart still beats where the cacao first found its fire
In volcanic soil, under ancient suns
Stories hidden in every bean
