One farm is part of a long-term reforestation project in Zapotal, Santa Elena to plant organic banana and cocoa.

The result: improved environment, income for local families, and a stronger foundation for sustainable, socially responsible cacao.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe beans undergo a slow, fermentation and sun drying process, followed by a delicate low roast that preserves their natural fruitiness and vibrant acidity.
