Origin Notes

Revival Cacao

Alejandro Zamorano Escriche is the head of Revival Cacao. Years ago, Alejandro attended our Profile Roasting Seminar — and that started a relationship we feel truly blessed to carry forward each time we get to offer his beautiful beans.

About Agua Escondida

Agua Escondida means "hidden water spring" — named for the farm where Revival Cacao began. This 2-hectare cacao orchard is owned by a farmer named Malaquias, who now supervises the entire operation across all neighboring farms. The estate name refers to the important freshwater aquifers found throughout Tabasco. This is one of Revival's most exclusive origins, and the one that proved that with proper fermentation, cacao from Tabasco can rank among the finest in the world.
