I have been in contact with Jan from Original Beans since 2020. As a Conservation Cacao Leader , his mission is to identify and preserve the rarest and finest cocoas in the world and to create the infrastructure so that these special beans can also be recognized here. The demand generated can save these rare cocoas from extinction and preserve them for posterity.

With the Sourced As Original Beans standard from Jan and his team, they guarantee sustainable treatment of the environment, people and natural resources on various levels. Jan is in personal contact with the cooperatives and farmers working locally, whom I hope to visit in person soon.

Original Beans are doing their best to bring fair and sustainable cocoa to the world. With over 13 years of experience and personally managed projects in Pan-America and Africa, they demonstrate the greatest possible excellence in their approach.

It is therefore an honor and a pleasure for me to welcome Original Beans as my business partners. For our first collaboration, I chose the Peruvian from their range of outstanding, original beans, called Piura Blanco.
