Fruity and fresh

About

Raw beans with their pulp are a real rarity. Once the pod is opened, the beans are not fermented: they go straight to gentle drying.

They are hard to make. The pods must be picked at exactly the right moment and dried fast, before the heat starts to ferment them. The beans never get warmer than 40 °C.

We call them the queen of beans: fruity, fresh and raw, with 0.73 g of theobromine in every 100 g.

Origin

From nine small farming families in Sri Lanka, on 10 hectares of forest garden. The cacao grows between coconut palms, papaya and jackfruit.

The trees shelter each other from sun and wind, and their roots hold the soil. Long before they were certified organic, these farmers worked without pesticides, with natural fertiliser.
