Laurel & Cedrela let us travel once again through the cloud forests of Nicaragua. These 2 regional blends bring together a mix of native and recently-introduced clones. Slow drying is standard in these humid communities. An additional interesting element is the carbon-neutral cocoa production by both centres adding to the environmental-friendly fingerprint. Cedrela has a deep dough-like flavour, hints of wet forest, cumin and liquorice and the chocolate has caramel body with must pudding and dry cranberry notes.
