This 82% Colombian dark chocolate by Original Beans features the rare Businchari bean, offering notes of liquorice, sesame, and lemon grass.
Original Beans, an Amsterdam-based producer, focuses on preserving rare cocoa varieties through small-scale, bean-to-bar methods. This particular bar spotlights the Businchari cocoa bean, which is cultivated by the Arhuaco people in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region of Colombia.
The Arhuaco 82% bar is crafted with a minimal list of ingredients, containing only cacao mass and raw cane sugar. This high cocoa percentage yields a firm texture and a specific sensory profile. Tasting reveals layers of liquorice and sesame balanced by brighter hints of lemon, lemon grass, and sweet spice, centered around a robust cacao base.
The brand maintains high standards for its supply chain and production, holding several certifications for this bar including Organic, Vegan, Gluten-Free, and GMO-Free. By working directly with indigenous communities in the Arhuaco Lands, the producer emphasizes transparency and environmental stewardship in its sourcing model.
