Cacao is the seed of the cacao tree's fruit, which grows in the humid tropics, like Costa Rica's Caribbean coast. The fruit is called a pod: inside are the seeds wrapped in a sweet pulp. Chocolate comes from those seeds.

In general: the pod is harvested, the seeds are removed, fermented and dried, then roasted, ground, and the paste is tempered and molded. On the tour you experience it in four gestures: open, smell, grind, taste.

Minah's is an Afro-Caribbean heritage cocoa experience in Pacuarito, Limón, Costa Rica: a family farm where you walk the whole path of cacao — from pod to bar — and a chocolate that takes that story home.

Minah's is named after the matriarch of the family that looks after this cacao farm. Minah's legacy isn't inherited: it's cultivated, day by day. That's why the tour ends where it begins: at Minah's house.

Open. Smell. Grind. Taste. The four gestures of the workshop: open the pod, smell the fresh cacao, grind the bean on stone and taste. Four gestures that become a ritual.
