70% Dark Chocolate

KOKOA KAMILI | Tanzania

Single-Origin Series Bar

Our single-origin chocolate bars are crafted using cocoa beans harvested from one specific region, country, or even a single farm. We don’t blend our beans from various countries to create a uniform flavor. Single-origin chocolate celebrates the unique “terroir” of its specific home. Just like fine wine or specialty coffee, the soil, climate, and local farming traditions shape the natural flavor of the bean. When you eat a single-origin bar, you are tasting the distinct, unblended essence of a single place on Earth.

Kokoa Kamili beans are grown in Tanzania’s Kilombero Valley. These premium Trinitario beans are sourced from a social enterprise providing economic empowerment to over 1,500 local farmers. By purchasing fresh beans directly at premium prices, they ensure fair wages for the community and meticulous quality control for the cacao. The result is a vibrant, bright flavor profile.

Tasting Notes

These beans posess an incredibly bright, fruit forward complexity with notes of tart cherries and creamy cashew, ending in a soft, brownie-like finish.

Roasting Profile

We roast our Kokoa Kamili beans with a gentle or restrained touch. These Tanzanian beans are meticulously fermented, and naturally possess an incredibly bright, fruit-forward complexity. Over-roasting them destroys these prized, delicate characteristics.
