We take great pride in being hands on and directly involved with every step of the process of harvesting our cacao beans from cooperating with the farmers, importing the beans, processing and packaging, and of course in helping Tisano Chocolate Tea reach the shelf.

We believe in the personal element. We know the farmers by name, and with them are committed to sustainable farming as well as sustainable living.

Seeing first-hand how hard the farmers work to support their families, we wanted to do everything we could to make sure the farmers were treated fairly and rewarded for their hard work.

We firmly believe that the more profitable and fairly treated the farmers are, the better quality our product will be.

In addition to supporting farming co-operatives with above fair trade prices we also give back 5% to the farming communities themselves as well as socially responsible endeavors, such as The Victor Pineda Foundation.

We are firmly committed to bringing Chocolate Tea, the first real chocolate tea, to the world for the first time while simultaneously affecting change in the farmers' lives and organizations like the Victor Pineda Foundation to promote the rights of people with disabilities on a global scale.
