About us

Suyana

"Suyana" means "hope" in Quechua, a language spoken by over seven million people in South America from Colombia to Argentina. Hope is beautiful. Hope is positive expectation, is trust in the here & now, in the future, in ourselves. Hope is pure optimism. Hope is full of strength, clarity and determination. Hope is an energetic source of strength: In the heart, it unfolds boundless creative potential - beyond uncertainty & insecurity. Hope is the absence of anxiety, fear or doubt; it gives us the certainty that we can deal with all imponderables with confidence. Hope is infinite & inexhaustible - it doesn't die last, hope is always there.

With Suyana, we want to express all these wonderful qualities. We want to give hope back with Suyana: Hope for nature and the environment by focussing on naturalness, reducing packaging waste and avoiding chemicals. Hope for the people and their families involved in cultivation, production, processing, trade and transport by ensuring fair working conditions, fair wages and transparent supply chains. We want to inspire other companies and hope for a sustainable change in the economy. Our CSR initiative is helping to give children in South America hope and a zest for life again.

We want to give our customers and consumers hope. Suyana is a bearer of hope. Our raw cacao and ceremony ingredients are selected responsibly, consciously and with love. We want to accompany the entire cocoa process from the seed to the ceremony carefully and lovingly. In this way, the heartwarming, health-promoting and luminous effects of our cocoa can fully unfold for you. Lift your spirit.

Who we are

We are Eva and Elias, two fun-loving and curious globetrotters. Our hearts beat for travelling to extraordinary places - both inside and out. We love journeys of discovery to faraway countries and would like to get to know and experience other cultures and exchange ideas with them. We love spiritual journeys of discovery to ourselves - to the source of joy, happiness and (self-)love. These journeys are an exciting adventure. They lead us to the marvellous wonders of life, expand our consciousness and increase our awareness of the beauty and abundance of this world, but also of the problems and challenges we face as humanity and which we can only solve together.

What connects and motivates us

Independently of one another we found a deep access to spirituality and holistic healing through traditional ceremonies and rituals in Latin America. The Spanish term "Curación" aims at this holistic kind of physical, mental and spiritual healing. We are very grateful for our healing experiences in South America and would like to pass them on.

Filled with gratitude, we believe that people can break free from their traumas, experience fulfillment and liberation, and heal by opening their hearts and surrendering to the miracles of life. This is our motivation for founding Suyana. With Suyana, we want to share our knowledge, inspire people, restore hope and support them on their journey to find themselves. The need for rituals, ceremonies and holistic healing is enormous in westernized civilization. We can only heal and save Pachamama, our Mother Earth, and make the world a better place, if we ourselves have gone through the process of healing.

Vision

We want to give hope to many people. Our cocoa plays a key role in this. From cultivation, harvesting & processing to trade, sales, packaging & transport to ceremony & consumption, it is our hopeful creation & action for a better, a conscious and loving world.

Mission

We support the cocoa farmers and their families, pay attention to fair working conditions and fair wages. We monitor the entire production process and emphasise careful treatment of people, nature and the environment. Sustainability & transparency in all production phases and on all supply routes are important to us. This includes minimising intermediate trade and reducing waste by selling large containers. We stand for the purity and highest quality of our cocoa. Our communication is based on appreciation and respect. The spiritual value of the sacred cocoa plant is reflected in our products as well as in our thoughts and actions.
