Spread Your Luck
In March, luck seems to come in all kinds. Here in the mountains, a sudden thaw can lead to rockslides, and high water. But then sunshine! The maple sap is flowing, and bees are trying their luck on emerging snowdrops. As a beekeeper, that gives me courage.
At Kevbot Chocolate, we feel very lucky to bring you great chocolate! Truly. And we want to spread our luck to the people and places - and pollinators - that grow it.
It takes a little luck...
Cacao flowers are tiny – and can grow by the thousands on a mature tree. They are so tiny that an even tinier chocolate midge is its main pollinator. Only about 10% of the flowers on a tree are successfully pollinated before the flowers close, producing only 1 lb of cocoa beans per tree!
...to make a little luck.
We're bringing back beans from San Juan Chivite in Guatemala - a Q'eqchi' community that took control of its future after a devastating civil war, and bet its luck on chocolate. Your investment in transparently traded chocolate helps the producers of Chivite make even better luck for their future.

Yours Truly,
Kevin
