Wishing to express my deep gratitude for the one and only @Oshi (推し) who is not only our warehouse and distribution guy on the ground in the US but also our professional photography legend!! The photos speak for themselves! So many people comment on how good they are when they visit the website of Bitcoin Beans! We love them too! They capture the true essence and premium, luxury nature of this incredible cacao! I cannot think of a bitter way to display the quality of this Cacao than how Oshi has captured it! Not only that but he just gets it and is such a joy to “work” with! I cannot call it work because it’s too fun, easy, smooth and divine to call work, that word is not appropriate for this creation! Let’s call it sacred commerce! So, with @The Bullish ₿itcoiner building sick Bitcoin based websites and @Oshi (推し) capturing the essence through his artistic flair it really feels like I got gifted something extra special here to truly compliment this cacao which we love so much! Anyone wishing to start their own Bitcoin e-coms business on here, then I cannot speak more highly enough of these guys! I will let the photos do the talking! Thank you, thank you, thank you @Oshi (推し) and @The Bullish ₿itcoiner ! What a team!! We are winning!

Today we launch something special. La Reserva Deluxe 1 lb 100% Cacao Block + ½ lb Cacao Nibs Single-origin cacao. Santander, Colombia. Third-party lab tested. Heavy metal free. A celebration of artisanal cacao at its finest — a harmony of smooth indulgence and refined crunch. Proof of Provenance. Proof of Purity. Proof of Work. When all three align, you get real food. Real medicine. This is Food of the Gods. Bitcoin Beans. Cacao on a Bitcoin Standard. www.bitcoinbeans.co

Why you might see “white” on our 100% cacao — and why it’s OK You may notice a light white bloom on some of our cacao blocks. This is normal with pure, minimally processed cacao. What it is • Usually fat bloom: natural cacao butter rising to the surface • Rarely sugar bloom: from surface moisture • Always safe — bloom affects appearance, not quality or flavour Why it happens Our cacao is 100% pure and contains over 50% natural cacao butter. Temperature changes during transport or storage can cause cacao butter to re-crystallize on the surface. This happens more in small, artisanal supply chains than in industrial confectionery. This isn’t candy. Comparing it to mass-produced chocolate (with sugar, emulsifiers, stabilisers) is comparing apples and cacao. About tempering Tempering reduces bloom and improves shine and snap — great for bars and confections. But repeated heating can compromise some heat-sensitive compounds. For drinking and cooking cacao, we prioritise flavour, nutrition, and integrity over cosmetic perfection. What we’re doing • Exploring tempering and handling options that reduce bloom without sacrificing quality • Improving packaging, storage guidance, and temperature control At home • Bloomed cacao is perfect for drinking, cooking, and baking • If you want a uniform look: gently melt and re-pour Bottom line Bloom is normal, safe, and often a sign of high cacao butter content and minimal processing.

La Reserva has been mined. 21 blocks. 1 lb each. 100% cacao. Currently in transit. Expected to land in the US mid-February. We’ll open a small pre-allocation before it’s released publicly. If you want one of the 21, reply ‘La Reserva’. There is no second best!

As we approach our 1 month anniversary, wishing to express how proud we are to have launched @Bitcoin Beans into the world! It’s been a dream in the making for a long time, years of learning from the land and coming into good relation with her coupled with building solid relationships and friendships with our farmers in Colombia. To be able to present to the world what we believe is some of the purest cacao out there is an absolute honour, and brings us so much joy! This first month has been incredible, the response from the nostr and Bitcoin community has blown us away! Pretty much on a daily basis people reach out on here in ways that touch our hearts! Not just through sales but genuine words of strength and encouragement and offers to help in various ways. It’s incredible! A big surprise! But why should we be surprised, this is our human nature after all, and this is the medicine of cacao, to open hearts, to help us communicate with ourselves and to the rest of the world from this space rather than just the mind. I see the cacao working its magic so profoundly everywhere she goes! And finally, a big big shout out to @Oshi (推し) ! For those that don’t know, @Oshi (推し) is our warehouse guy in SC, he holds all the stock and then packages up and distributes out, without him I don’t know how we would do this. And to @The Bullish ₿itcoiner who created a kick ass website and always seems to be on hand to answer my ignorant techie questions with patience and positivity, this guy is Bullish! And so it is, everything fell into place so smoothly, I could say maybe nothing has moved this seamlessly before! Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas with friends and family! Big chocolatey love to all x

Chocolate Fondant! A romantic sharing plate! No better way to eat fruit than have it smothered in delicious 100% Colombian Cacao! This will take your sensory experience to new levels! Super easy… melt your cacao above some boiling water on the stove, add a little coconut oil or some @Great Ghee to keep the texture runny, decant the melted cacao into a bowl, and then dip all your favourites fruits in it. Here we’ve gone for no added sweetener to the cacao because the fruits are already loaded with natural sugars, but each to their own! We have; blueberries, banana, pineapple, mandarin, mango and watermelon. If i had space on the plate I would have also got some strawberries in there too. Apple is delicious as well. Enjoy! And big love to all x
