The cacao beans are purchased from SKS Farms in Ecuador. SKS has "the aim of growing,
processing and selling organic agricultural products as well as collected wild products." Working
with small cooperatives, they offer training in agricultural and processing techniques.

Read more about the production of the chocolate, using the ancient Mayan way, on the Heliodoron
website.

The Leet mate is wild harvested, processed and transported by the Meta Mate Bar.

...which has been involved for years in this special work with mate - that includes not only agricultural
research, but offers a system whereby each purchase of the mate literally goes back into protecting
the forest where it comes from. See more information Leet mate.
