Our Cacao is grown in the region of the Bosawás Biosphere Reserve in Nicaragua; one of the largest remaining tropical rainforests.
Ripe Cacao Pods are Hand Harvested from carefully selected and cultivated trees and Directly Traded from small scale farmers. The beans are Naturally Fermented and Air & Sun Dried by local Fine Cocoa Experts before arriving in our hands.
Mexico
This Cacao is from Hacienda Jesus Maria is an Organic Cacao Estate in the Rio Mazapa, Tabasco region of Mexico where the Mayans cultivated vast Cacao orchards and the first cargo ships of cacao set sail. The family here has been growing a diverse, Ecological food agroforest for over a century and supports many local community initiatives.
We then follow the traditional practices of gently toasting, winnowing, and stone-grinding the raw beans; preserving the complex fruity and floral flavours.
