Original Beans, like me, aims to create a food culture that regenerates our world and encourages people to think more about what they eat. Since 2008, they have ventured into remote rainforests to source some of the world's rarest (and fairest) cacao beans. By many standards, including the Be Slavery Free organization's "Chocolate Scorecard," they lead the industry in traceability, transparency, and living income, ranking as the #1 most sustainable chocolate company globally. The company's founder, Philipp, left his job at the United Nations with the goal of creating one of the world's first climate-positive companies and, true to his word, Original Beans was the first chocolate maker to pledge planting one tree for every bar sold, use compostable foil, and become carbon neutral. Their dedication to the environment extends to the communities they work with and to the delicious quality of their products, which often finds its way into Michelin-starred restaurants and premier hotels. This isn't surprising given the superior quality of their raw ingredients: wild and foraged cocoa, Swiss dairy milk, and "raw" cane sugar that has not been carbonated or decolorized.
