SUMMERSUN FOODS AND AKNA COFFEE

SummerSun Foods and AKNA (Mayan: “universal mother”) arose from a family connection going back 30 years. What drives us is our commitment to healthy, flavourful whole foods – and in particular Mexican craft foods. Our specialty coffee-cacao blend is representative of the AKNA brand – which also includes specialty chilies and salsa; soon to include mole sauces, mesquite honey and other specialty foods. Please contact us if you have questions about our products – or about your own favorite Mexican foods you wish to share.

 Brewing coffee is originally an African art spread throughout the globe by European traders. Brewing cacao however, is an ancient Mexican art. This is not the sweet chocolate drink that may come to mind. It is an intense earthy chocolate brew with less acidity than coffee but full of brewing possibilities. In Mexico City, you will find cacao brew houses like specialty coffee houses here in the north.  

Years have passed since we started, however we are NEW to you.

All these years we have worked on the knowledge and expertise of the production and elaboration of coffee and cocoa (among others) that is why we are 100% involved from the extraction of the seed to the product that you are about to taste.

We are originally from Canada and Mexico, this fusion has given us the opportunity to create a great product with a recepie that has been developed since 2018, we worked on it  until we got the perfect combination. Why? Because we know your needs, we know that health, quality and taste can be found in a single product.

 

 

We encourage you to try our coffee-cacao blend. This is a fresh ground, fresh roast mix that has a truly remarkable flavour quality. If you enjoy a bold full bodied morning brew, with properties in the brew that perk your taste-buds, you will like this blend. Please read further about the remarkable health qualities of both coffee and cacao. If you enjoy your coffee as a more delicate “tea-like drink”, our light roast coffee is best - full of fruity complex flavours.
Look for authentic, natural Mexican products to come. Our passion is for healthy authentic foods and beverages. After all, healthy natural foods should be a tasty experience!
