La mission d'Original Beans comprend des initiatives écologiques et communautaires dans les régions d'où elle s'approvisionne. Dans le parc d'Udzungwa, en Tanzanie, cela comprend un programme utilisant des ruches comme clôtures pour dissuader de manière humaine et non invasive les éléphants de piétiner les champs et de consommer les récoltes des agriculteurs. Tout aussi brillante, cette barre combine un cacao incroyablement fruité et plus acide, avec des éclats savoureux d'orange sanguine et de groseille, équilibrés par des notes de miel foncé et des éclats de noisettes grillées qui ajoutent un croquant satisfaisant à la texture lisse et douce du chocolat.

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.
Achetez plus Original BeansLocated within the Morogoro Region, the Kilombero district is situated in a vast floodplain, bounded by the Kilombero River in the southeast and the Udzungwa Mountains in the northwest, part of which is protected by a national park renowned for its diverse bird and primate species, as well as its unique population of savannah elephants. Unfortunately, increased deforestation has led to heightened human-elephant interactions, exacerbating the impact of elephant poaching since a majority of the district's inhabitants are subsistence farmers, cultivating maize and rice. Other economic sources are teak wood and sugar-cane plantations. The region is rising to prominence on the international scene thanks to the Kokoa Kamili Cooperative, which has become a world leader in transparency, fairness, and organic farming practices, with 99% of the area’s cocoa farming being organic. Their facility is located approximately sixty kilometers from the nearest tarred road or electricity, and ten to fifteen hours' drive from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's main city and closest international airport, offering a glimpse of true rural African life.
