The Arriba beans used for this chocolate come from the Pacific cloud forest in the Ecuadorian province of Esmeraldas, home to a rich diversity of plants and animals. For every bar of chocolate sold, our partner, the chocolate pioneers at ORIGINAL BEANS, grows a tree in the cocoa-growing areas amid its biodiverse splendor. ORIGINAL BEANS stands for sustainability, community empowerment, and regenerative agriculture - their dedicated commitment has earned them numerous awards, including the title of the World’s Most Sustainable Chocolate in 2024.
