The cocoa farmers of Mindanao have the ideal combination of tropical rainforest and volcanic soil. It's perfect for growing a cocoa bean with a distinctive chocolate flavour complimented by layers of citrus, honey and caramel notes.

Philippines cocoa growing is still made up of multi-crop small holders where they grow cocoa alongside a host of crops, mainly for the local market – think pineapple, coconut, and yams. Our farmers prefer to use the cooperative in Calinan to process the cocoa as their crop isn't large enough to invest in their own fermentary.
Mindanao is the southernmost main island in the Philippines group, and is Firetree’s only cocoa origin found 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.
