We are Mat and Stacey and this is our family run business bringing you the best cacao and ClariTea from the Ecuadorian Amazon, and handwoven shawls and ponchos from Oaxaca, Mexico.

We moved to Galloway from Central America four years ago but have kept close ties with the Indigenous Kichwa communities of Ecuador and the Cooperative de Tejidos de Mujeres de Mitla (CTMM), both of whom we have worked with for many years.

Our mission is to support these communities by providing an income that conserves their way of life and also brings benefit to people in the UK who value high quality handmade products.

Our cacao and ClariTea are wild harvested from traditional ‘chakras amazónicas’, an ancient non-invasive agroforestry system that sustainably manages diverse crops, trees and medicinal plants within intact rainforest. This traditional practice enhances food security, biodiversity and resilience against climate change.
