A story from the red-soil highlands
The origins we visited lie in the Đắk Mil and Đắk Sắk areas of the former Đắk Nông province — today part of Lâm Đồng province, Vietnam — home to cacao, coffee and farming communities rich in hands-on knowledge.
In July 2026 our working team visited three farms and post-harvest learning points, hearing from the leaders of local cacao-growing groups how pods are picked, beans removed, fermented and dried — before travelling on to the BMI farm and BMI Vietnam's production site at Đắk Mil.
We tell this story as we found it. Details of farmers, farms and individual lots will be added once consent and full evidence are received.
