ICBOLAY

A classic Lachuá blend comes in harmony with newly introduced pre-fermentation practices. Icbolay is a very balanced complex cocoa; deeply chocolaty but with full wild cherry and pear flavor, herbal notes of fresh lemongrass, and tobacco earthiness giving a long-lasting experience. The bright citrusy flavors are more expressed in the chocolate.

The cacao is produced by ASODIRP, an association of cacao producers from seven autonomous Maya Q'eqchi' communities located near Laguna Lachuá National Park. Laguna Lachuá is one of Guatemala's diverse natural treasures and preserves numerous species of flora and fauna from the exotic range offered by the tropical climate, many of them endangered. It is also a Ramsar site (a wetland of international importance) and the first model forest in the country. It is also one of the few remaining tropical rainforest remnants in the Northern Transversal Strip.
