Ice Pack

This cacao was hand-peeled in Tzununá, fire-roasted, and packed by the collective's hands. An ice pack is how we take care of the last leg.

Cacao melts above 75°F. It isn't ruined — the theobromine, the anandamide, the medicine are all still there — but it won't arrive looking the way it left the collective. If you're ordering in warm months or shipping somewhere reliably hot, this is the small step worth taking.

Add one if:

• You're in a warm-weather state — Texas, Florida, Arizona, California, Georgia, Nevada
• You're ordering between May and September
• You're sending this as a gift and want it to arrive presentation-perfect

Probably fine without it if:

• You're in the Pacific Northwest, upper Midwest, or a reliably cool climate
• You're ordering in fall or winter

A cold pack ships alongside your cacao block and keeps it solid through 24–48 hours of transit — enough for standard ground shipping across most US routes.

One honest note: if your cacao does arrive melted and re-solidified, it's still 100% good cacao. The flavor and medicine are intact. Give her a warm water brew and let Mama Cacao do her thing.
