Mocha time 🍫+☕️ Now we know Mocha as a drink made with coffee and chocolate but originally mocha was the name for the coffee beans that were coming from the port of Mocha, Yemen; these coffee beans had and have an unique chocolate flavor that made them so appealing to people that they created a name for themselves. The intertwines of Coffee and Cacao go back to hundreds of years as both being drinks that came from fermented seeds that have decided to only grow 20 degrees north and south of the equator and that they both demand a laborious and dedicated work from people and from the land. In a Modern day cup of Mocha you can read your own history but most important of all a Mocha made with care and with well sourced Cacao and Coffee is a way in which we can all re-write our history, we can all change the now to make a better past and a brighter future, is an opportunity to participate in change, a way to connect. So today ask: where does your coffee and chocolate come from? Who are the people that grow them? And how your purchasing decision affects their lives and their environment? And how that affects your health? #foodisculture #mocha #craftchocolate #craftcoffee #beantobar #farmtochocolate #cruchocolate #livingmindfully
72% chocolate made with Cacao from Haiti 🇭🇹 #darkchocolate #haiti #farmtochocolate #cruchocolate #beantobar #craftchocolate #roseville #sacramento
It takes about 5 years for a Cacao great to bear fruit, a pod takes 4 to 5 months to grow and the seeds are in petals of 5 attached to a central cord, a pod will have about 40 to 50 seeds. Beans are fermented in average 5 days and It takes us about 45 to 50 days to make a bar. Five is the number of action since we have 5 senses and 5 fingers. How long does it take you to eat a chocolate bar? #farmtochocolate #cruchocolate #cacao #harvestmoon #craftchocolate #fermentedfoods #ilovenumbers
