THE SUSTAINABLE BOX – COFFEE & CHOCOLATE

COFFEE
Ethically sourced directly from the Igegania Cooperative, a vibrant community with 1,057 small scale farmers in Kenya. 

CHOCOLATE
Our single origin chocolate is sourced from one country, one region, and even one single Cocoa farm.
Terroir is defined by the nature of the soil: its exposure to sun, wind, and rain; interactions between the species within its tissues; the impact of local yeasts and bacteria on the eventual fermentation process. Terroir is a cultural consideration that dictates local styles of planting, maintaining, harvesting, storing, and preparing crops like cocoa beans.

KENYA
Ethically sourced directly from the Igegania Cooperative, a vibrant community with 1,057 small scale farmers in Kenya. Since 1966, Igegania farmers have poured their resilience, passion, and purpose into every bean, creating a product that embodies community spirit and empowerment in every bite.
Each bag supports programs that empower women through education, financial independence, and opportunities in Kenya.

MADAGASCAR
Andzavibe plantation is named after founder Lucien Millot (1906). Seated in North Madagascar, the dazzling 3,200 acre site is the heavenly kingdom of fresh vanilla, ylang, vetiver, patchouli and… cocoa. Our partner, Valrhona, has exclusive purchase rights to 1,500 acres of this certified organic plantation, and recently became a shareholder in the Société Millot. They employ about 800 workers — the majority of which are women — and support local schools in their work. Travelers are graciously welcome, if you happen to pass by.

MEXICO
When Comercializadora Semillas Aldama opened the plantation in 2006, his mission was to preserve the production and identity of the cocoa native to Tabasco, a southeastern state in Mexico. Fifteen years later, his company provides a network of local producers with everything they need to excel — from the best plants to the most advanced technical support — while Aldama’s center is dedicated to drying and fermentation. A strong future for a strong product!

BRAZIL
Manoel Libânio da Silva Filho created his company in 1922. At eight plantations, spanning 6,700 acres, this giant is an example of successful sustainable development. Rainforest Alliance Certified, they produce high quality cocoa with exemplary respect for the old-growth forests that surround them, and agricultural practices to match. Valrhona, a tireless pioneer of the CSR approach, has been sourcing from the estate for twenty-odd years, and signed a long-term partnership with them in 2013.
