Our Maya Seed is sourced through the Maya Nut Institute**, who’s work ensures that the seeds are sustainably foraged by the rural communities where it grows in natural forest ecosystems. The seeds are then dried and roasted, similar to coffee beans. The roast blend we use was carefully developed in cooperation with a team of coffee and cacao experts, making it a finely crafted, rich full-bodied brew! Finally, it is blended with Archaic’s carefully crafted small-batch functional mushroom extract powders, to create a next-level flavor that is hands-down the best coffee alternative we’ve tasted yet! You have got to try this.
**The Maya Nut Institute is a nonprofit 501(c)3 founded in 2001 who’s mission is to “find balance between people, food, and forests,” by teaching rural communities about the value of Maya Nut for food, fodder, ecosystem services, and income. Their work has supported rural communities in ensuring fair compensation for their production, and in organizing labor efforts such as National Committee for the Development of Rural Women (codemur), and Asociación de Mujeres de Ixlu (ademix).
