Saint Lucia<br />

ISLAND GROWERS | TRINITARIO<br />

Saint Lucia is an island country in the West Indies in the Caribbean<br />

and belongs <strong>to</strong> the Islands over the wind, which in turn belong<br />

<strong>to</strong> the Lesser Antilles.<br />

These Saint Lucian beans have been supplied through a special<br />

collaboration with Hotel Chocolat. Since 2006 Hotel Chocolat<br />

has been working on their beautiful Rabot Estate in Saint Lucia<br />

and is a pioneer in connecting cacao agriculture with luxury<br />

chocolate. More than 150 other growers on the island have<br />

joined Hotel Chocolat‘s Engaged Ethics programme and benefit<br />

from price and volume guarantees, making their livelihoods<br />

long term sustainable. They have also built an amazing hotel in<br />

this cacao estate, called Boucan, so their cus<strong>to</strong>mers can come<br />

and stay.<br />
