Macoris Dominican Republic 70%

"Years ago I found a beautiful cocoa plantation that forever caught my imagination. On this particular day it was overcast and the cocoa trees were new and laden with a rainbow of cocoa pods. It was very peaceful with the exception of the tropical birds chirping and squawking. As the light came through the leaves, I could not help but feel that if there really was a Garden of Eden it would be just like this. Ever since, I have wanted to make chocolate with beans from this magical place.

It took seven years. But as they say, good things come to those who wait. I hope that this chocolate is as special for you as it was for me." - Art Pollard
