Original Beans
 

“Original Beans makes the world a little better through chocolate.” Original Beans is an award-winning chocolate and conservation company founded on the simple idea of giving back to nature what we take from it through consumption.

Quality awareness and traceability run through every stage of chocolate production. The cocoa beans go beyond fair trade — they are sourced directly — and are organically certified. For every bar of chocolate sold, local cocoa farmers plant a tree to support their families and the rainforest.

These trees and the efforts to preserve the rainforest can be followed at www.originalbeans.com. The beans are roasted in small batches and the couvertures conched on centuries-old machines in Switzerland to preserve the rich fruity notes of the original cocoa.
