Tumaco

Colombia may be best known for its bountiful coffee production thanks to its rich volcanic soil and ideal balance of climate and terrain, but it is also fertile ground to cacao. And yet, the success of another crop, coca, has entangled the country in a narco-mire that has contributed to a painful history of civil conflict. Fortunately, the 2016 peace agreement has opened up a new future for Colombia and its people. And the success of cacao has been a bridge toward autonomy for the farmers of Tumaco, a south-western coastal region of Colombia. 

Our forward-thinking, socially conscious partner, Cacao de Colombie, has spearheaded development in Tumaco, where our cacao is directly sourced from three community cooperatives of farmers. Their trees are intercropped with a diversity of other plants including fruit trees, corn and beans.

 The deep, luxurious flavor notes of whiskey, caramel and molasses of the Tumaco beans are ideal complements to coffee so Lewis Pogue goes all in by combining these two sister beans from Colombia. We have two espresso-70% Dark Chocolate bars:, one with cacao nibs, to give the bar a satisfying crunch, and one without.
