Nerdy things

Out of Costa Rica’s legendary landscapes—where volcanoes rise beside lush rainforest—Rausch planted its heart project, the Tres Equis – Finca de Cacao plantation, in 2014. From this own estate, nestled near the Turrialba volcano, they grow fine-flavour cocoa using agroforestry methods on formerly depleted pastureland: over 37 species of shade and fruit trees now thrive alongside cocoa, reviving biodiversity and enriching the soil.

At the center of it a solar-powered post-harvest facility—handling fermentation, drying, packaging, and storage right on site.Since their first small harvest shipped to Hamburg in 2020, full commercial exports began in 2021. Every shipment travels in recycled sea-freight containers and arrives in Germany in eco-friendly jute bags.In recognition of its exceptional quality, fcocoa from Tres Equis earned a pre-selection at the Cacao of Excellence Award 2023

Rough review

The flavour goes beyond liquorice, revealing a creamy profile reminiscent of molasses. It’s a wonderful, balanced chocolate: not extreme, but comforting, ideal for those who prefer familiar and reassuring notes. Perfect for a cozy night on the couch, paired with rich fruit infusions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you source your cocoa?

We rely on thrusted importers that share the same vision of human rights, transparency and quality: ruvido is the result of hundreds of people, picking, processing, sorting, importing the product.

We are the last step of a chain and as such is our duty to show respect to those before us doing the best we can do present to you the best chocolate possible.

Why you choose to have just one a time single drop?

We think it is to important to underline how each cocoa is special and unique in itself. Even same plants and terroir will produce beans that taste slightly different each years influenced by both the climate of that year as well as any difference in temperature during fermentation.

Blending beans or working big volumes flatten high notes flavours that are the ones we sought after and that truly makes chocolate taste so differentL

For this reasons we decided to work low volume single drop in order to highlight how special each cocoa it is and make it shine.

How many bars do you produce for each drop?

It depends on how much was produced of the specific cocoa, the period of the year and our capabilty of processing volumes of cocoa .

Right now each drop is around 1.000 bars that it means one single sack of cocoa beans. In future we don't want to exceed 4.000 bars for each drop in order to respect the flavor of the specific beans.
