In 2015, two brothers received an unexpected phone call from their father: he was revisiting his homeland of Guinea for the first time in over 50 years, and rather than reminisce about his youth, he began instantly raving about having tasted “the most exquisite mango and pineapple on Earth!” In fact, even after an hour of talking, he couldn’t get over the mouthwatering flavors he had just experienced: “Everyone needs to try this!”…perhaps it was because, behind this exuberance was also the sad realization that Guinea’s native tropical fruits—like the majority of its prized harvests—were routinely laid to waste. It was this bittersweet mix of passionate excitement and devastation that eventually led to the pivotal question: “How do we bring these incredible flavors to the rest of the world?”…and so, the seeds of Tropicaux were planted.
Purpose: Every culture’s unique identity, expressed through the vibrancy of its people, the rhythm of its music, the beauty of its art, the elegance of its fashion, and the delight of its cuisine, enriches the tapestry of our collective human experience. In such spirit, we invite you to join us as we embark on a culinary trip back home into the heart and soul of Guinea. And by savoring our sun-dried treats, not only do we bring you a taste of Guinea’s rich heritage, but you also empower the Guinean farmers that harvest them. These farmers, guided by generations of wisdom, employ time-honored traditions to nurture their crops naturally…the finest Guinea has to offer. Each bite is a testament to that!
