The aroma of chai and the taste of sustainably produced milk chocolate—what could better accompany the Advent season? Behind today’s door lies a heavenly combination of Indian chai and delicate milk chocolate, taking us on a journey from the rainforests of Ecuador to India.

Cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, enjoyment

Feel invited – to Esmeraldas and simultaneously to India: Our Master Blend Hariman Classic Chai harmonizes perfectly with the sustainably produced milk chocolate from OBC in this extraordinary blend. Its Arriba cocoa beans come from Ecuador’s last coastal cloud forest, where silky tree frogs bask in the humid breeze.

Genuine respect for producers: Fair + (Esmeraldas, Ecuador)

The cocoa farmers from whom Original Beans sources its beans are not only among the best, but also the best paid in the world. The chocolates do not bear a Fairtrade label because its standards are not high enough for Original Beans: the company sources its beans directly from the producers, pays them a stable multiple and supports them in long-term partnerships in cocoa cultivation.

Cocoa beans

Be a frog. Enjoy sustainably.

The Ecuadorian province of Esmeraldas lies at the southernmost tip of one of the most threatened rainforest ecosystems in the world. In its coastal cloud forest of Mache Chindul, countless rare animal species such as the Imbabura tree frog and the Mache glass frog are native. Original Beans' chocolate production supports the protection of delicate botany above the city of Esmeraldas.

Take a moment to unwind and let this unique chocolate creation guide you through the Advent season.
