Cacao Connoisseur’s Club Liner Notes
Precious criollo–King of Cacao
Pale white Peruvian bean.
Do not look for
The dark and bitter here–
This is Criollo–King of Cacao.
Elegant, delicate
Taste of honey
Apricots, dried in the sun
Cashews, gently toasted.The white bean speaks softly
Listen to its tastes and aromas
Criollo speaks softly
Of old soil and old ways.
