Les merPralus, founded by François Pralus, is a brand born from a dream to own a cocoa plantation. After two years of searching, François found his ideal spot in 2003 on Nosy-Be, an island off the northwest coast of Madagascar, known as the Island of Perfumes. Surrounded by the scents of ylang-ylang, vetivers, peppers, and vanilla, he began his tree-to-bar journey. Set amidst the rolling hills of Nosy-Be, beyond the rice fields and between fragrant vetiver trees, frangipani, and raphias, lies the fertile land where François Pralus' cocoa trees thrive. The plantation, cultivated from scratch on a hillside, started with a nursery nurturing over 25,000 cocoa plants. Here, a variety of criollo beans, typical to the Malagasy land and known for the prized white bean, were chosen for their finesse. These seedlings, once matured, were planted in a preserved primary forest, under the canopy of large trees, allowing them to flourish for at least five years before bearing their first cocoa pods. Pralus' journey from a passionate dream to crafting exquisite tree-to-bar chocolate encapsulates a deep commitment to quality and the art of chocolate making.

Les merFor Aroma & Clean Cup - Thickness-1: Thickness 0.15 mm - Density: High - One-Side Crepe (No crepe on inside and crepe on outside) There is no crepe texture on the inside of the filter paper, thus making the contact surface area small. Fine coffee powders attach within this small area, creating resistance for the water. By creating extra resistance, plenty of aromas are able to be extracted. Additionally, thanks to the outside crepe, the brewed coffee flows smoothly down the filter. Because its paper density is high, almost all fine powder is removed perfectly. You can get a clean cup of coffee.
