From bean to finished chocolate 🍫

Another micro-batch of 75% Buenaventura dark chocolate coming out of the melanger after a 72 hour (3 day) grind, sweetened with evaporated cane crystals (tapa dulce) on day 2.

Over the past month and a half, Buenaventura hosted 9 Moondance Adventures groups, and the 2 kilos of organic Cacao paste used in this micro-batch was the left over nibs from the last group's Chocolate making class where they roast, winnow and hand grind the Cacao beans to make home-made chocolate brownies.

Buenaventura 'Wet Season' Opening Day - Eve of the Full Super Moon Lunar Eclipse ✨🌑✨

Today Buenaventura officially re-opened for the Wet Season and hosted a CrossRoads Academy group operated by Pro Rafting CR and Rafiki Safari Lodge.

The theme of their trip is "Flow like Water", as they started their adventure in the highlands of Cerro Chirripo experiencing several rivers and waterfalls along the way and will be ending their journey at the Pacific Ocean.

This morning the group 'Put In' upriver in El Llano and rafted down to Buenaventura to stop for lunch, with a short tour of our organic Cacao Superfood Forests and orchards, where they learned about cultivating, harvesting and processing Cacao and where treated to a multi-sensory Cacao Activation tasting experience with one of BV's Golden Ticket dark chocolate bars.

After lunch, the group jump back into the rafts and headed to the confluence in El Brujo (The Wizard) where the Division and Savegre rivers meet.

They'll 'Put Out' and hike up to Albino's Lodge in Piedras Blancas, where they will do a sweat lodge on the river this evening, spend the night in the middle of the rainforest and the following morning raft the Savegre river down to Rafiki Safari Lodge, and finally kayak out to the Pacific Ocean a couple days later where their 'Flow like Water' trip comes to a sunset ending.

Special thanks to Lautjie @ Rafiki and David @ Blue Shack for including us as the lunch stop for this group.

Pura VIDA! 🌿💦🌿
