Dear Cocoa Hub Support Team,

Thank you for reaching out for our desk's for feedback regarding Sample ID: CH07910.Our internal laboratory and risk desks have completed their review of your physical quality assessment. Considering that this sample was drawn directly from our raw, completely unsorted farm-gate stock in Ondo State to establish an organic baseline, we find the results highly satisfactory.

To address your specific evaluation parameters:
Physical Quality & Bean Metrics: The bean count of 98 beans per 100g and the average bean weight of 1.02g are consistent with robust West African main crop profiles. The exceptionally low flat bean percentage (3%) confirms excellent pod fill and agricultural development at the source.

Moisture & Storage Suitability: The measured moisture content of 6.3% is an optimal baseline, giving our logistics team absolute confidence in safe, mold-resistant warehousing and transit stability.

Cut Test & Defect Assessment: A 74% well-fermented rate on raw, unrefined farm-gate lots provides a highly resilient foundation. The minimal incidences of broken beans (4%) and insect damage (2%) prove that our cooperative's post-harvest handling practices are fundamentally sound.

As an international principal trading house, Makinto Global Trade Links Ltd operates under strict quality targets. While this Grade 2 baseline represents excellent commercial bulk cocoa, all our primary export liftings scheduled for October will undergo our advanced corporate mechanical sorting and cleaning sequences. This will automatically optimize the bean count to under 90 beans per 100g and transition our commercial shipments into premium selections.

We appreciate your thorough analytical reporting and look forward to utilizing Cocoa Hub UK as a key verification node for our future laboratory sequences.

Best regards,Makinde Akintoye A.Managing Director / CEOMakinto Global Trade Links Ltdwebmail.makintoglobal.com

Better and cheaper than the rest

Lovely and smooth.

Dan was extremely helpful with any questions i had as well as keeping me informed about my order during its delivery stages. The ceremonial cacao itself is amazing and very high quality, even in this current heatwave it still arrived in perfect condition.

Smooth texture and flavour, buttons melt easily. Even at a ceremonial dose I find this cacao soothing and gentle.

It tastes just as good cocoa should taste.

The famous Chuao variety for an accessible price, with great delivery . And saying that, I'm going to quickly enjoy another choco delight

I roasted a test batch of these beans and currently sitting at my kitchen and removing husks manually (crazy, I know!) all I can say that it is great quality, good fermentation, I see some bianco beans as well and overall I am very happy with purchase. Recommended!
