The Beautiful Bean

Cocoa (Theobroma Cacao) is an important beverage crop which grows abundantly in the tropical regions of the world. A native of the Amazon areas of South America, a bulk of its world production occurs in the tropical belt of the continent of Africa. In India, much of the cocoa production occurs in the southern states, Kerala being one of them. The green hills of Idukki district have the ideal climatic conditions which help the growth of cocoa beans with high quality profile especially for its aroma and texture. Widely used in food and cosmetic industries in different forms, cocoa has become one among the most valuable tropical beverage crops. The four major verities of the cocoa plant are Forastero, Criollo, Trinitario, and Nacional. We are the sellers of Forastero. This beautiful bean is now known to have multiple health and nutrition benefits making it one among the most sought-after natural products. Our customers stand testimony to the quality of our products and the accuracy and efficiency in delivering the products with excellent package, speed and good customer support.

What We Do

We are cultivators of the bean with an extensive stretch of farms strictly following organic farming techniques and also procurers for a large number of farmers in Idukki district of Kerala which is world famous for its aromatic spices. Idukki belongs to that dense green patch of tropical rain forests of the western ghats which passes through Kerala, there by giving its spices that extra aroma, flavor and high butter content quintessentially of the green mountains. Our processing units are well equipped for the essential fermentation and sun drying of both the cultivated and procured beans. Uncompromised quality in procurement, manufacturing and distribution has helped us reach the heights we are in today, being the chosen suppliers of cocoa beans to major chocolate makers and exporters across India. House hold customers, chocolate makers, cake makers and exporters form the spine of our network of happy customers.

Our Process

With a monthly processing capacity of 5 to 10 tons of beans across our processing units with high quality and hygiene standards, new and defined processes in roasting, winnowing, butter extraction and powder making, we have secured our unique place in the industry with outstanding institutional and human resource framework. All processes remain transparent and natural without any added preservatives and artificial colors still maintaining the purity, aroma and flavor. The fermentation and drying processes are of great importance as they have a direct impact on the aroma and taste of the processed bean and related products. Once the procured bean is roasted, cracked and de-husked through the process of winnowing, Cocoa Nibs are obtained. These nibs are used for chocolate making. Butter is ground, cold pressed and butter powder separated from it. All the cocoa products including the fruit are stored, packed and delivered across India as per orders through our online platform.
