Maker Comments | Tsáchila means 'the true people' and the people of this indigenous group have preserved their unique identity by keeping themselves to themselves on their 17,000 acre section of Ecuador. The men shave the sides of their heads and use red wax to dye and shape the remaining hair into a distinctive cap. They collect the cocoa from wild growing nacional-arriba trees scattered across their land. A flowery aroma suggests the unique flavour notes within. A light acidity and a strong, steady cocoa flavour fades to leave flavour tones of jasmine. |
