Paul and Jeanne Johnson are the co-founders of Caribeans, a bold and community-rooted chocolate venture based in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica. What started as a small café evolved into something much more: a regenerative chocolate company grounded in justice, sustainability, and a deep commitment to local community. Their journey is equal parts entrepreneurial, ecological, and deeply personal. Along the way, they've learned what it means to build with-not for

—a place and its people.
