The term artisanal gets thrown around pretty loosely these days but you will find it exemplified at Indigena Chocolate. Every single thing you see, touch and taste has been thoughtfully and lovingly hand made by the owner. The buildings, tables, pottery, sink, signage.... I do mean everything! This entire place is a piece of art...and an example of living gently in tune with nature.
