Tasting notes: chocolate-covered cherries, fresh milk, and black tea
These cocoa beans come from a collection of farms surrounding Reserva Zorzal, a bird sanctuary perched on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. The sanctuary protects Bicknell’s thrush, an endangered bird that migrates all the way from Vermont to winter in the Dominican Republic each year. Sales of cocoa produced on and around the sanctuary fund the Reserve’s conservation efforts.
We share this cocoa with our Dandelion Japan team. We are thrilled to explore the flavor potential of these beans, while supporting the reserve’s mission. Trevor opts for a light roast to preserve fruity, herbaceous notes characteristic of Zorzal Comunitario cocoa.
