Honduran Cocoa + Coffee
by Mesocacao
Impact
OK, so cacáo circulated as currency in the native imperialism of Mesoamerica. It partially "financed" the building of city-states there.
That monetary legacy continues to this day with the so-called Mayan Temple effect which charts the stepwise relationship between interest rates & stock equities.
In a cruel modern irony, this phenomenon impacts commodities like cocoa & coffee inversely.
By compounding these 2 staples, Mesocacao tries to buck the trend. Pays off in a split dividend.

no match
café all the way... + a tsp or two of sugar… only at the finish & at the back some walnut-wood tannins as well as the main intersection point between this cacáo & this coffee: an apple-guarana note

Quality 14.8 / 20
A fortified uptick for Mesocacao's 70% Honduras base. The easy coffee, on the inherently sweet side to begin with, predominates... having its way with chocolate which serves in a supporting role mainly for Textural contrast.
