Cacao Bean
Cacao Bean—the ancient seed revered as "food of the gods," bridging millennia of culture, ritual, and indulgence.
Quick fact: Cacao's sacred origins and cultural significance
The cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), native to the Amazon rainforest, was first domesticated over 5,000 years ago by the Mayo-Chinchipe culture in present-day Ecuador. Its seeds, the cacao beans, became integral to Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. These cultures valued cacao not only as a food but also as currency and in spiritual ceremonies. The Mayans, for instance, believed that the cacao tree was a divine gift from the gods, and the Aztecs used cacao beans as a form of money and in religious rituals. The scientific name, Theobroma cacao, translates to "food of the gods," reflecting its esteemed status throughout history.
Wearing this tee is a tribute to the rich history and cultural significance of the cacao bean. It's perfect for those who appreciate the deep roots and enduring legacy of this remarkable seed.
