One of the smallest big cities in the Philippines, Davao City is affectionately known as both the cacao and durian capital of the country. In fact, often you'll see both fruit trees growing on the same plantations within city limits, yet due to large soil & cacao varietal differences, you'll find that the resulting chocolates taste nothing alike. The region is so widespread that there's even a citywide speed limit that makes a trip from one end to the other take nearly two hours without traffic!

Mana is a single-estate cacao farm in Davao, Philippines, producing beans that capture the region's tropical fruit and caramel notes. The estate benefits from volcanic soils and a climate suited to developing complex cacao. Mana's beans are prized by makers seeking a cacao that balances sweetness with natural depth.
