Cocoa bean plant.

Growing in the Tropical House in the Winter Gardens in the Auckland Domain. They are the size of Easter Eggs, rather appropriate for Easter Sunday. Looked up the plant and read about the poor wages paid to the farmers, the forest cleared to plant them and how few chocolate manufacturers actually try to be fair. Luckily Whittaker’s made in NZ is one of the small club.
