Ransiki, a village in the buffer zone of West Papua's Arfak Mountains, on the western edge of Indonesia. The cacao plantation was first established in 1979 by the British Commonwealth Development Corporation and, at its peak, covered nearly 1,800 hectares — before ownership changes and decades of disinvestment left much of the land abandoned.

In 2017, the community formed the Ebier Suth Cokran Cooperative — "Unity to Arise" — and began bringing it back. Today, the cooperative employs around 150 local Papuans and works the land through dynamic agroforestry, intercropping cacao with banana, turmeric and ginger.

West Papua was declared Indonesia's first Conservation Province, and the beans we use are part of that wider effort: cacao as a livelihood that keeps the forest standing.
