Remote and hard to reach, Makira is the last island of note in the eastern region of the Solomon archipelago. Its rich volcanic soil gives us a cocoa bean that has a deep and complex flavour enhanced by gentle hints of grapefruit, raisin and caramel overtones. A taste experience as enchanting as its origins.

Not only does Lucy, our farmer own the land herself, but she also exclusively hires women to help produce the cocoa, too.

Due to the money she raises with selling super-quality cocoa directly to us, her two daughters have been able to go to university in Australia, aspiring to come back to the farm to take over the family business due to them seeing how sustainable and rewarding cocoa production can be.

Makira is the most Easterly of the main island group in the Solomon Islands and is abundant in tropical fruits. The island has one 10 km road going from the main village, past our farmer Lucy’s farm, to the other outlying village. There is a grass landing strip, which is perhaps the best route to Makira due to saltwater crocodiles taking up residency along the coastline.

Firetree’s volcanic hot chocolate is a worthy contender for these cold days and nights. Punchy, rich and just what you want from a hot chocolate.
