Cacao, the fruit from which chocolate is made, is the ideal agricultural commodity for the Rainforest because it depends on the rainforest canopy for its survival!
The cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao L.— meaning "Food of the Gods" — of the Sterculiaceae family) only thrives in tropical temperatures within the protective shadow of tall-growing plants such as banana plants or palm trees.
Your 100% organic cocoa will also be naturally processed so that it has a smoother taste, lighter color and more refined aroma than commercial-grade cocoa. Because most of us only know chocolate that is packed with sugar, this pure organic cocoa is a taste revelation. Costa Rican cocoa has a distinctively chocolate flavor, with a floral bouquet.
The Rent Mother Nature Fair Trade Cocoa Lease meets the highest standards for social and environmental responsibility. The farmers receive fair compensation to support their families and communities and incentives to work their land wisely, while you enjoy this delicious product and help protect the Costa Rican rainforest. Your recipient will have the option of choosing baking or drinking cocoa.
The Lease program includes:
- A beautifully designed & personalized (parchment) lease document that is sent to your recipient.
- An announcement folder (inscribed with your gift message) that describes the many benefits of your gift.
- Entertaining & informative progress reports (& an optional photo) to keep them up-to-date on the harvest as it is nurtured.
- Upon completion of the harvest, the Organic Rain Forest Cocoa is delivered to their door.
- Satisfaction & bountiful yields are guaranteed.
We do all the work and you get all the raves (while helping support sustainable agriculture).
