Wet beans were boxed the day they were cut, turned every 24 hours, then sun-dried on raised beds until they held twelve per cent moisture. Nothing in this record is averaged across harvests.

Description

Nib is cracked bean with the shell blown away, and nothing else. We roast the nib lot hotter and shorter than we do for bars because you are eating it dry rather than melting it — that extra heat builds an espresso-crust edge that reads well against yoghurt or a salad.

Bitter, obviously. One hundred per cent cacao, zero sugar. Use it where you would use a toasted seed.

120 g resealable kraft pouch. Store somewhere dark and it will hold for six months.
