Why We Chose This Cacao Finding cacao that aligned with our values was just as important as finding cacao that tasted incredible. That's why we source our cacao through The Cacao Ambassador, who work alongside cacao-growing communities throughout the Pacific, building genuine relationships and supporting growers to create more value from every harvest. The chillies are grown here at home, making Phoenix a beautiful blend of Pacific cacao and our own garden. From Our Whānau to Yours Every product at Kaingaroa Plant Lady begins with our own whānau. Phoenix was created because we love the comforting combination of rich cacao and natural chilli warmth. Once we found ourselves reaching for it again and again, we knew it was something we wanted to share. We hope it brings warmth, comfort, and a little spark to your day.
