Origin

The origin of our cacao

Our cacao grows on a single family farm in the mountainous jungle of Cusco, Peru — where cloud forest meets the Andes, and cacao trees have grown wild for generations. We work with Chuncho, one of the world's oldest and most prized cacao varieties. Native to Cusco and its own distinct genetic cluster, its lineage dates back over 2,000 years, and it's the same cacao the Incas once ate. Thriving only in this specific high-altitude Amazon environment, Chuncho develops a bold, fruity, floral flavor with high fat content and almost no bitterness.

Processing

Processing, by the same hands

The same family also handles all post-harvest processing, with the same care as the growing itself — preserving flavor and nutrients at every step. The beans are dried in partial shade, fermented carefully up to 40°C for a rich cacao flavor without losing Chuncho's unique nuances, and roasted only briefly to bring out the best flavors intact.

A Fair Partnership

Our cacao comes directly from this one family, with no middlemen. Fair compensation for their work is a practice, not a slogan — it supports children's education and local jobs. Every purchase supports this community directly.
