Not far from legendary Machu Picchu, the famous Chuncho cocoa with the cherished small-sized beans is grown and cultivated with care. The careful post-harvest processing permits for a very balanced expression with woody cognac sweetness, strong cinnamon notes ending up with sweet fruity wine and toffee flavours.
The perfume of vanilla and freshly brewed green tea add to the flavour experience feeling like sipping on a hot cocoa beverage with the Incas.
