Alto Beni, Bolivia - 2023
This certified organic bean is sourced from Walikeewa in Bolivia. In the upper reaches of the Beni River, called Alto Beni, cacao grows wild and far from urban centers. Here, locals navigate the river by boat and harvesting cacao from the banks. Being of a wild harvest, the degree of variance in flavor with our ‘19 harvest, while expected, is still surprising. Flavors aren’t huge in this harvest, but the robustness of character and approachable flavor notes make this a satisfying ‘eating’ chocolate.
