Dried Chanthaburi cacao beans are known for a fresh, fruity and tropical character — quite distinct from many West African or Central American origins. Typical tasting descriptors include:

• Tropical fruit notes — pineapple, passion fruit, mango

• Citrus brightness — lime or lemon

• Green fruit hints — green apple, peach

• Nutty or balsamic undercurrents

• Mild, lively acidity with delicate sweetness

These attributes make the beans suitable for bean-to-bar chocolate with vibrant and exotic flavour notes that often translate into bright, fruit-forward dark chocolate.
