With sadness we are announcing the closure of our Auckland based cacao cart cafe.

This space held more than just cacao, it held conversations, connection, and a community that showed up for us every day.

Thank you to everyone who visited, shared a cup, and became part of this journey.

And a special thank you to the team of for their support, and for holding this space with us throughout our time there.

We’re closing this chapter here — but we’ll see each other again 💚

After what happened with this batch, we chose to move with care, intention, and respect for the cacao.

This is not rushed.

It’s a process we’re taking seriously — to bring this cacao back to the level you trust and expect from us.
Our PRE-SALE is now open to secure your Amaru Cacao drops while we complete this process behind the scenes.

Thank you for your trust, patience, and continued support through it all đź’š

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you 🙏🏻

In the midst of the painful loss of our precious cacao shipment, your messages of love, support, and solidarity have wrapped around us like the warmest embrace. Every word, every emoji, every prayer and offer of help has meant more than we can ever express. We’ve read them through tears — not of sadness anymore, but of pure joy and gratitude.

You’ve reminded us that we are not alone in this journey. Your kindness has held us, lifted us, and made us feel truly seen and supported by this beautiful community. We feel empowered, deeply held, and incredibly loved.

Our mission has always been to honor and share the ancestral wisdom of Peru’s cacao culture — to bring its sacred medicine, its stories, and its healing spirit to the world. This setback has only strengthened our resolve. With your love behind us, we are more determined than ever to continue this path, to keep the traditions alive, and to deliver the gifts of the cacao spirit to all of you who believe in it as much as we do.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for your light. We are overflowing with tears of joy and hearts full of love because of you.

With deepest gratitude,
The Seleno Health Family 🌱🍫💛

This is one of the hardest things we’ve had to share.

After 6 months of waiting, with 2 month delays in transit a full container of our cacao finally arrived… only for us to find every single box and bag cut open and damaged by US customs agents. 7,000kg of product—unsellable as is. Everything we invested. Everything we saved.

And to worsen it our insurance we took out declined as they add a clause to exempt customs inspections. The shipping company won’t cover and US customs seemingly can destroy stock for no reason without consequence. All the big corporations get their payout while little businesses like us suffer.

It’s been an emotional day for our family. But if there’s one thing we want you to know, it’s this:

We are not quitting. We are not victims. Together we are the lights that can shine brighter when we work together.

Small businesses face challenges like this every day—things completely out of our control. And right now, your support means more than ever.

If you believe in what we do, here’s how you can help:
• Continue supporting us by purchasing our products
• Share our story with your friends and family
• Help spread the word about maca, cacao, and what we stand for,
• If something is out of stock maybe browse some of our other products you haven’t tried before
• Leave a review or share your experience online
• If you feel called you can submit a tip on checkout to help us order more cacao
• Please be understanding and patient and cherish what we can supply as we seek to try and recover from this hit

Every share, every order, every kind word makes a difference.

Thank you for standing with us. 🤍
We’re still here. And we’re not going anywhere. From our family yo yours

Thank you 🙏🏻 Gracias 🙏🏻

There’s something powerful about finding a cacao that meets you in every moment 🤎

From movement and activation with Amaru,
to grounding, heart-opening stillness with Uturunku…

Our cacao is more than a drink — it’s a ritual, a connection, a way to come back to yourself.

Thank you Katie for sharing your beautiful experience with us 🌿

New Zealand born founder and co-director – Corin has over 15 years of academic and research experience, specialising in chronic stress, oxidative diseases and natural health management. He holds a PhD in medicinal chemistry from the University of Melbourne and the Heart Research Institute – Sydney, Australia. His own personal health experience overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) led him to establish Seleno Health to help improve outcomes for people struggling with their own health problems.
