Maker

Original Beans

Original Beans is passionate about being actively involved in the conservation of their cacao sources from Congo to Bolivia. They pride themselves on an ethical direct trade of their beans to ensure cacao farmers can achieve a livable income. They currently support 175 farming families full time. Original Beans finds the world’s rarest cacao beans to transform their unique flavors into incredible chocolate. What makes Original Beans unique, are the world's 50 best chefs that come together and work in creating the best chocolate bars. Through Original Beans hard efforts, they have already preserved heirloom and regional cacao varieties from nearing extinction! It all started back in 2008 when Philipp Kauffmann pursued his dream in creating a 100% regenerative business that gives more to the Earth than it takes. Kauffmann is the 7th generation of recognized forest scientists and explorers. Original Beans wrappers are environmentally friendly, packaged with the first garden compostable foil, made of woodfoil and cardboard which reduces negative environmental impacts by 82%. Every single bar you buy plants a tree in the rainforest, following the "one bar one tree" creed, and have already grown over 2 million trees! One of their bars, Femme de Virguna planted a quarter of a million cacao trees, and ultimately saved Congo’s forest from utter destruction!

Cacao Region

Piura, Peru

Piura is a department of northwestern Peru, bordered in the north by Ecuador and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. Several rivers run through the province from the region’s mountainous zones, serving to keep the coastal plantations naturally well-irrigated and productive year-round. The region is the second most-populous in the country, responsible for roughly a third of Peru’s annual petroleum production, as well as a significant amount of its mining. Similar to the rest of the country, much of Piura’s agriculture relies upon commercialized crops, such as sorghum, rice, corn, and yucca, though an increasing amount of native criollo cacao is being cultivated throughout the region.

Original Beans Piura Porcelana 75%

Original Beans make some good damn fine chocolate with a purpose! I love that each bar you buy plants a tree! This bar is luminous. Raspberry and toasted pecan and citrus and dried plum dance a sultry dance across the palette and linger beautifully as the silky (beyond all reason) chocolate melts away - to, of course, be immediately replaced with another delectable piece. Can't stop, addicted to the shindig.

This was a great bar for the price point. I got three so I could maximize my order value. The taste is smooth and lingering with complex tanins that are not bitter or highly acid. I would recommend for the taste and value.

Can't go wrong with original beans

All the bars from this chocolate maker have been amazing. The bean gives it a very distinct flavor. I suggest to also try their "femmes de Virunga"!

Lovely delicate flavors

I loved this bar. It was super mellow and delicate, with flavors of raspberry, toasted nuts, and soft citrus zest notes that gave it a little tanginess. Definitely worth getting a full bar, but it also comes in the mini bar sampler pack from Original Beans if you want to try some of their other origins as well.
