This cacao grows in the Alto Beni region of Bolivia. In the past, these beans have varied in quality due to farm level fermentation and drying. Currently, a centralized fermentation and drying facility has been launched and the beans have improved in consistency. All the beans are organic, and come from small-scale farmers who are paid premium prices for their production.

Cocoa beans come inside cocoa pods. These pods grow directly from the branches of the tree.
