What are the differences in cacao by region of origin? Characteristics of "Ghana," "Papua New Guinea," and "Indonesia

Just as coffee beans have different tastes and flavors depending on where they are grown, cacao beans have very different characteristics depending on the country where they are grown. Ghanaian cacao beans are characterized by a good balance of nutty, rich flavor accented by the floral notes of roasted tea leaves. The Papua New Guinea variety has a fruity aroma like raisins and tropical fruits, and an intense acidity. And the Indonesian variety offers a refreshing aroma of bright red berries and forest freshness, with a clean acidity.


Enjoy these differences in the drinks and sweets at LOTTE DO Cacao STORE, and find your favorite region of origin.
