Mindanao Island is the southernmost island of note in The Philippines archipelago, yet our only origin north of the equator. The cocoa grown here on the nutrient-rich volcanic slopes of Mount Apo yields a tapestry of honeyed and caramel undertones with a soft citrus overture.
From a moment of indulgence to the perfect gift, there's something in this collection to suit any occasion from the after-dinner treat or the bedtime warm mug of hot chocolate.

Mindanao is the southernmost main island in the Philippines group, just inside the “Goldilocks zone” 10 degrees either side of the equator. It is Firetree’s only cocoa origin North of the Equator. The cocoa we buy directly from our farmer grows on the slopes between Mount Apo and Davao city in the fertile tropical rainforest-like conditions.
As commercial cocoa is relatively recent in the Philippines, it's made up of multi-crop small holders who grow cocoa alongside a host of crops like pineapple, coconut, and yams.
