Upala Rainforest, Costa Rica

From the rich volcanic soil and misty rainforest air comes a chocolate that feels truly special. Grown with experties and care at Finca Anita in Upala, located in the northern Costa Rican rainforest a beautiful estate nestled in a fertile valley embraced by three volcanoes. We are especially proud of this bar because it marks the first time we have sourced our own cacao beans straight from the farm.

We roast our beans to develop a rich, deeply chocolatey flavor with warm nutty notes.
