Thank you for being here — and especially for supporting New Incan Empire. This community is brand new, so you're joining us right at the beginning. We're excited to build this into a place where we can share cacao, recipes, questions, experiences from Peru, our monthly 3PM Cacao Office Hours, and everything we're learning along the way. Before you head into the Classroom, we'd love to get to know you. Introduce yourself below: 1. 🌎 Where are you joining us from? 2. ☕ What do you normally drink — coffee, tea, cacao, or something else? 3. 🍫 Have you had cacao before? If so, how do you normally prepare it? 4. 🌱 What would you most like to learn or experience inside this community? After you finish your introduction, please go to the Classroom and start with the first class!

1. 🌎 Where are you joining us from? I am joing from Cusco, Peru. The Sacred Valley to be exact! 2. ☕ What do you normally drink — coffee, tea, cacao, or something else? In the morning, I drink coffee with a broken piece of cacao with fresh cows milk and brown sugar. And in the afternoon I just boil up some cacao for the rest of my work shift. 3. 🍫 Have you had cacao before? If so, how do you normally prepare it? If I am drinking just cacao I love it with pure milk and I boil the cacao with the milk and then add a small spoonful of brown sugar. 4. 🌱 What would you most like to learn or experience inside this community? I want to share what I have learned about cacao and Quechua culture that I have learned while living 6 years in the Andes mountains as well as learn from my community on here as well.
