When we’re ready to take these beans to the specialty market, we engage with all our customers and gather constant feedback. Our team keep iterating on the processes and protocols, guaranteeing continuous improvement, and consistent flavour profiles. We take pride in constantly learning and growing together.
Bean selection
We take pride in discovering terroirs that truly capture each region's unique flavor nuances. Our focus is on sourcing cacao beans with distinctive sensory profiles, featuring rare flavor notes. With a widespread presence in the Cocoa Belt, we're uniquely positioned to connect you with cacao tailored to your preferences or assist in finding your perfect bean.
Sensory evaluation
We send bean samples to labs for analysis to unlock their potential. Our plant science and local teams collaborate to refine post-harvest protocols and conduct flavor trials. This process, lasting months, guarantees thorough examination of flavor and quality, ensuring consistent bean profiles.
