Buying Cacao Beans
01
How can I purchase cacao beans from Revival Cacao?
We primarily sell our cacao in full-size jute bags weighing around 72.5 kg, sourced exclusively from Mexico. We operate on a direct trade basis, managing all logistics in-house—no intermediaries or wholesalers. No matter your location, we arrange door-to-door delivery.
If you are interested in bulk orders of our cacao beans, such as Fermented Cacao, Pataxte or Cacao Lavado, please contact us directly. We will provide you with detailed information about our origins and guide you through the ordering process. Your order will be delivered to your business promptly.
We export Mexican cacao worldwide, with particular attention to customers in the USA, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
02
What cacao beans are currently available? When can I expect new stock?
Bean availability depends on harvest cycles, which have shifted slightly in recent years. The main regions for cacao cultivation in Mexico are Tabasco and Chiapas, where the harvest season typically runs from November to July.
We do our best to keep stock, but inventory is often subject to availability. Our cacao is sold on a first-come, first-served basis. To avoid disappointment, we recommend acting quickly to sample or purchase beans, and planning your cacao needs in advance.
03
Can I receive a sample of the beans before purchasing?
Yes, we offer samples of our available beans to potential customers in the US and other countries. Depending on your requirements, we can arrange for samples to be shipped, with shipping costs covered by you. If you are interested in receiving a sample of our cacao beans,, please contact us​ directly.
04
Is there a minimum order quantity?
The minimum order size depends on your delivery location. We are pleased to cater to businesses of any size, from small artisanal operations to larger enterprises. We can ship anywhere from a single jute bag to hundreds of bags, based on your needs. We also offer smaller quantities for those not requiring a full bag, although terms may vary based on specific requests.
05
What payment methods do you accept? Do you offer credit terms?
For new customers, we operate on a cash against release policy. After completing at least three successful orders, we may offer payment terms at our discretion.
We accept payments through Wise (wise.com) and international bank transfers.
06
Do you conduct heavy metal and microbial testing on your beans?
Our cacao is cultivated by smallholder farmers within agroforestry systems, allowing cacao trees to thrive alongside other shade and fruit trees. Most of our farmers use organic fertilizers and employ various post-harvest techniques.
We maintain a lean structure and a short supply chain, with traceability down to individual farmers. We know everyone involved by name, and we invite visits to our farms under our open-door policy. With complete transparency, there is no cause for concern.
