I love Sikwati so much that I want to make it a business! Do u know any supplier of good Tableya in Davao? Cuz I believe Davao is the capital for cacao.

I really want to find suppliers for good tableya. Yun sanang bisaya na tableya dahil sobrang bango nun. I live in Canada so i’m not sure how much the export will be if ever I will get a supplier from Davao.

Hi there! We bought tableya pucks from samar. No matter how long we boil it, it would still have unmelted, sandy like texture in it. Could those be because of additives like peanuts? No matter how long we boil the pucks, they never melt fully, and they always have this sandy texture.

Hi guys! I would love to learn the history of when this type of Cacao made it to the Philippines. Meron ba ceremony at spiritual na history? I'm only familiar with the Mexican/Guatemalan origins and ceremonies associated with Cacao but I am Filipino and want to dive deeper into the Cacao Culture of the Philippines. I have translated a version of the spiritual chants and songs sung in Spanish when making Cacao to drink into my best translations in tagalog. I would love to share this with my Nanay so we can bond and get even closer. I think she can benefit from the oxygen, awareness, and heart opening qualities of the Cacao. Thank you po sa lahat!
