Your experience begins by entering our clonal garden, where you will understand the biological foundation that makes our cacao unique. We will walk through the agroforestry ecosystem that allows fine aroma varieties to thrive.
Next, you will access our post-harvest area. Here you will discover how we refine flavor profiles using our custom mango wood fermentation boxes (60x60x60cm)[cite: 1, 2, 4], an artisanal technique that precisely controls temperature and acidity.
The climax of the tour happens in the private laboratory. Under the guidance of our experts, you will participate in the tempering, design, and tasting process, creating a specialty chocolate bar that reflects the true heartbeat of Totonacapan.
As this is a highly demanded technical experience, we require advanced booking to prepare the laboratory materials.
Dress Code: Casual, comfortable closed-toe shoes.
