Mandala Naturals
Chocolate slow-ground for six days, grown in relationship with the land.
Mandala Naturals has crafted functional chocolate, ceremonial cacao, and superfood bars since 2013: single-origin Maya Mountain cacao slow-ground over six days, with wild Appalachian botanicals harvested by hand on the same forest farm. A certified B Corp.
