Tucked at the base of Tenorio Volcano in Upala, Finca Llano Azul is where our chocolate story truly begins. This 13-hectare certified organic farm is home to over 7,000 cacao trees, grown under rainforest canopy using agroforestry practices that work with nature rather than against it.
From harvesting and natural fermentation to sun-drying on our farm, every step of our bean-to-bar (or even root-to-bar) process starts right here.
It is also where we welcome visitors for our Half-Day Cacao Farm Tour: a hands-on walk through the orchards, the fermentation beds, and the landscapes we have spent years restoring.
If you want to understand where great chocolate comes from, this is the place to see it.
