That's how business works🤷♂️. The farmers are important yes, but they don't have the same overhead as this company. If your crop fails you maybe effect 6 people. If that company makes less money then it should, it can't pay rent on buildings, can't maintain the expensive machinery, can't pay for advertisements etc. The company has a lot more on the table than the farmer. Would it be nice if farmers got paid more? Yes. Is it realistic for then to get paid a lot? No. That's how business works, under capitalism, socialism, or communism. All have flaws, and none can pay the farmer as much as you wish they could. It is what it is...

Remember seeing these two western brothers who thought wool farmers were getting paid enough in the middle east( if I recall correctly). So they set out to make a company that sells their wool, while also paying the farmers much more. The owners and farmers are all friends and everyone is happy. Only issue is each sweater is $120+. It's hard to base a company of being compassionate, they managed to do it. Lots of people act as if those two brothers are what the world needs more of. So I say go do the same, start your own company and pay the farmers a livable wage. I'm not sure you'll find the success those two brothers did. But at least you can say you tried🥂

If what he says is true and it is distinct and it was actually sought after for its particular qualities and this isn’t some hipster scam, The bars would be worth it but I’d also tell him to start investing in genetic diversity research or else it’s pretty much going to become extinct the moment somebody plants a certain tree with a certain disease their... but it really wouldn’t shock me if it was just a scam.

Including the bean with the bar is a really nice touch. It gives the consumer something to display, and if people are paying so much due to the rarity of the tree, that's really what they want. Also depending on their geographic location, maybe they can make their own.

Just letting folks know that you can get these bars for as "little" as $33 CAD or $72 CAD for their "cask aged" bars per their "Signature" line that they released about a year ago. That's definitely still quite more than the price for a bar of Amedei Porcelana, but my point is that the hype from the past few years was for a price figure that probably primarily comprised the cost of the _packaging_ and presentation. Anyways, I guess it may have indeed been an effective marketing strategy to have made people conflate the price of the chocolate itself with that of the presentation, then to surprise them with the ability to get the same bar sans frills for a "fraction" of the price. So if you paid $270 for the bar with collectable handcrafted box, you would probably be happy knowing that you don't have to pay as much to experience the bar again. As for this $450 price tag, perhaps in addition to more frills added to the _presentation_ , maybe these bars also use some of their rarer beans that you won't find in their Signature line.
