Maya Moon Cacao: Indigenous-Owned, Community-Driven, and Worth the Price
Maya Moon Cacao was founded by Maura and Elizabet Sacach, Kaqchikel Maya sisters from San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala. Unlike most cacao companies covered on this site, Maya Moon is run by indigenous founders who are culturally and regionally connected to the cacao they sell. Maura handles e-commerce and brand partnerships from the U.S., while Elizabet, known affectionately as “Mama Cacao,” runs the workshop in Guatemala where all roasting, hand-peeling, and stone-grinding takes place.
