Cacao's Story
An ex-rum cask initially from Flor de Caña, one of the most renowned rum distilleries in the world. Subsequently used to age Ecuadorian aguardiente for twenty years by our friends at Zhumir. Last but not least, we filled it up with To’ak chocolate. A lot of history here. This is the Early Release. Creamy and nutty with dark fruits.

We’re using cacao trees to help restore forest on degraded agricultural land. It’s one element of a holistic regenerative agroforestry project that combines cacao trees with a diversity of tall native shade trees, fruit trees, and other food crops like bananas and plantains.
We’re doing this in partnership with TMA (Third Millennium Alliance), a nonprofit rainforest conservation organization that has been protecting and restoring forests in Ecuador since 2007.

We pay a farmgate price that is 3-8x the standard market price for “wet cacao" — well above the fair trade premium. To the best of our knowledge, these are the highest cacao prices on the continent.
