From pod to paste

Rosa and Armando grow and process cacao following knowledge passed down through generations, in the heart of the Bribri community. Together, you'll set off to discover the medicinal plants of the surrounding forest, its flowers and pollinators, before reaching their home to experience every step of cacao preparation: harvesting, fermenting, roasting, then grinding on the traditional stone until you obtain pure cacao paste.

A sensory, authentic morning between forest and ancestral knowledge, ending with a tasting of your own freshly made cacao paste.
