“CafĂ© Cacau” is a much
known Cocoa business in the region, they have good reviews on Trip Adviser, plus
I found a lot of news in the internet about Marly and her amazing Cocoa
business.
In one of the articles
I found online, Marly says
that she considers it a gift the fact that she was raised by her father on a

show them all the hard work the ants do, and then tell his kids that the humans
have to do the same in order to survive.
I had the chance to talk to her and tell about our business
here in Michigan, she is a sweetheart and will be more than happy to do
business with us here at the Doce B Shop.
We know it is a long way for the toasted seeds to travel,
but Marly said they last up to one year. J
