Sourced from the historic, women-run Capela Velha farm along Bahia’s famed “Chocolate Road,” these premium cacao beans are cultivated using regenerative farming practices that restore soil health, biodiversity, and local livelihoods. Hand-selected at peak ripeness and gently caramelized, each bean delivers a perfect balance of deep, earthy cacao flavor and golden sweetness, with a satisfying crunch.
 
Every bag carries a unique QR code so you can track the exact rainforest tree planted through your purchase—transforming each indulgence into a tangible act of ecological restoration.
 
The packaging is a celebration of art, flavor, and purpose—featuring “Symphony of the Forest”, a cosmic-inspired digital artwork by Iwona Fluda, elegant package design by Kirsten Ritschel, and farm outreach & sourcing led by Fatima Toledo. Together, these women bring creativity, craftsmanship, and commitment to sustainability into every bag.
