B+Best Bean-to-Bar
Theo operates a small-batch roaster in Seattle and does the whole process in-house — from bean selection to final bar. Their 85% uses Congo cacao certified fair-trade at origin, which is rare. The flavor profile shows genuine roasting skill: you get walnut and dried cherry without any harsh or burnt edges. If you care about the supply chain as much as the taste, Theo is the answer.
Pros
- Full bean-to-bar transparency on sourcing
- Noticeably more complex flavor profile
- Fair Trade Direct certified
Cons
- 3–4x the price of Lindt
