it all starts with the beans

Our cocoa beans and the lives they touch are at the heart of our business (our name comes from the Latin name for the cocoa tree - Theobroma cacao!). We believe that the most sustainble cocoa is cocoa that is profitable for farmers to grow. We know exactly where our organic and fair trade cocoa beans come from, and build relationships with the communities who grow them.
