Deep in Quinindé’s heart, Hacienda Nueva Esperanza rises from a forest alive with heat and light. Here, a rare microclimate; lush humidity by day, gentle cooling by night, guides cacao from blossom to bean with almost instinctive precision. The soil is nutrient-rich, the air heavy with green fragrance, and every pod swells with the vigor of a land that renews itself daily.

True to its name, this origin infuses each bean with quiet optimism: a cacao that arrives sweet with possibility and leaves the palate alive with joy.

Cultivation is a lineage, not a task. It is Segundo, the protector of this land that tends each cacao tree and tropical fruit vine as kin, guiding every leaf with deliberate care. His reverence for the soil shapes a harvest where human hands and nature move in perfect accord; preserving the forest’s vitality while coaxing its boldest tropical yellow like fruity flavors to life.
