Cocoa Blog

Vacation? Pah, I want to experience something! I want to see the world and try the craziest things and at the end jump down somewhere and then climb back up again backwards! That's roughly how my self would have expressed itself three years ago on the subject of vacation. My current self sees things a little differently. A little more relaxed. A little more thoughtful. A little more calm. And maybe even a little more conscious. I have been pursuing my cocoa mission non-stop for over two years. When I'm not drinking cocoa, I talk about it or dream about...

The last few days have been marked by fundamental rethinking for me. As Mischa of cocoa, it seems somehow obvious what I do, namely cocoa. On closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that not all cocoa is the same. In the last few weeks I have entered a spiral of sales, profits and, above all, expectations.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the great support in...

With hisOriginal Beans project, he has made it his mission to find the rarest and finest cocoas in the world and save them from extinction. A truly noble task, which involves many obstacles and adventures, as I was able to learn from him. This is exactly how Jan came into contact with the...

I don't know how many times I've told this story. And each time I tell it differently. From a different perspective, in a different color or with a different mood. I find this story as rich as the power of cocoa itself. And its influence on my life is as great as the influence of cocoa on the world, I hope. Here I would like to tell our story again in a completely different way and in a little more detail. From the inside out. My inner path, process and decision to dedicate my life to cocoa (and vice versa)....
