Needed: Coconut Sugar Sweetened Couverture


Posted in: Classifieds F/S or Wanted

Bocas del toro, an island near the North border with Costa Rica. My girlfriend's late boyfriend bought some property and discovered it had 10,000 old cacao trees on it so they bought it back to life, I guess it has been organic for a really long time. We mostly use those beans or a neighbors who works on the farm so we know the fermentation is ok. We have an organic coop and sometimes broker their beans. I have been doing the coconut sugar bars for a health food store in Panama city, at first The taste was strange but as the bar ages it mellows. Just not use to the taste of that sugar, It may be the new thing.

Bean to bar chocolate makers


Posted in: Tasting Notes

And by the way there are at least 6 good bean to bar makers within 40 miles of me, and we sell to tourists and locals. Ours is called the sweet dream, or Darklands. Organic beans from our farm, is our source of beans.

I sell organic beans to several bean to bar makers in the USA so for anyone to say they are the only one is cause for a law suit. I can give you a hint, Atlanta, Alexandria, and Ashville.
