| 136 | When you tire of the bland 'sameness' of mass-produced chocolate it's time to go directly to the source!
|
|---|
| 137 | By adopting a tree you're making sure that only finest flavor varieties
|
|---|
| 138 | of cacao will be cultivated and used in your private supply of
|
|---|
| 139 | chocolate. You are also directly investing in cacao growing communities

|

| 145 | Traditionally
|

| 146 | cacao growers receive the same low price for their beans,
|

| 147 | regardless of variety, giving them little incentive to cultivate
|
|---|
| 148 | the better tasting cacaos,
|
|---|
| 149 | which are more difficult and more expensive to care for. The mass chocolate
|
|---|
| 150 | companies,
|
|---|
| 151 | for their part, usually find it cheaper to add more sugar to
|
|---|
| 152 | their products than to pay a premium for better tasting cacao.

| 158 | Your adoption will allow them to plant more fine tasting criollo-type cacao trees, which means
|
|---|
| 159 | better tasting chocolate for you! When your tree
|
|---|
| 160 | is ready to be harvested, its cacao will be processed in a small factory right here
|
|---|
| 161 | in Mexico, and turned into
|
|---|
| 162 | delicious chocolate, cocoa powder, and even pure roasted cacao beans. All
|
