At Karaya Bean, our journey began as a way to honor the founder’s family roots in the cacao traditions of the northern region of the Dominican Republic. After moving to New York City at a young age and spending nearly two decades abroad, our founder felt a deep desire to reconnect with the culture and history that had shaped his family for generations. Returning home, he discovered that cacao was not just a crop, but a legacy — one that carried stories of resilience, community, and craftsmanship.
This heritage is at the heart of everything we do. At Karaya Bean, we collaborate closely with local farmers who cultivate cacao with dedication and respect for the land. Each bean is carefully grown, harvested, and processed to preserve its authentic flavor and unique origin. By combining ancestral knowledge with a modern approach, we strive to create cacao that reflects both tradition and innovation.
Our mission is to share the true spirit of Dominican cacao with chocolate makers, cafés, and chocolate enthusiasts worldwide. Every product is transparently sourced, ethically traded, and thoughtfully prepared to ensure consistency and quality. Choosing Karaya Bean means enjoying cacao at its finest while also supporting sustainability, fair practices, and a legacy that continues to thrive across generations.See more
