INSPIRATION: Minka brings benefits to all participants in the production chain, the same way our Quechua ancestors ran the "mingas" in their communities.
The aborigen art is the inspiration for this tubes which contain ancestral tradition and love for making the best chocolate product.
Ecuador has a rich culture that deserves a good presentation to bring their excellent chocolate to the entire world.
Minka plays a tribute of the Ecuadorian roots, proud of what they are made of.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Certainly, the meaning of mine derives from the knowledge that the Andean aborigines had that perform a shared work for the common good, it is done faster and better.
Minka literally applies the concept of collective work of the "minga"; he buys the cocoa at prices for the farmers, who zealously cultivate the precious grain, and rewards the quality of its products; with which Minka makes all her chocolates.
