Dark Chocolate 70% Tanzania
Boasting an incredibly bright flavor profile with notes of lemon and cherry, the cacao from the Kokoa Kamili Fermentary in central Tanzania is a standout in the craft chocolate world. As a 70% dark chocolate, the nuances are drawn out with just the right balance of sweetness to be super approachable. We then zested hundreds of lemons, dried the zest, and blitzed it with organic cane sugar to create a wonderful 'lemon crunch' to add onto the chocolate bars. This accentuates the bright lemon notes and provides just a hint of texture to make this citrus bomb of a chocolate bar.
Story
KOKOA KAMILI
Kokoa Kamili is situated in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, an area known for its abundance of bird and mammal wildlife. Kokoa Kamili works with nearly 3000 smallholder farmers, most of whom farm between 0.5-2 acres of cocoa. Kokoa Kamili pays a premium--well above the market rate--to farmers for their ‘wet’ cocoa, and conducts its own fermentation and drying. By taking over the fermentation and drying process, Kokoa Kamili can produce more consistently higher quality cocoa beans. This method gives farmers a reduced workload, along with greater compensation, and the farmers are paid immediately after the cooperative receives its wet beans. Kokoa Kamili also distributes cocoa seedlings to farmers in the community. In the past three years, they have aided in the planting of over 140,000 trees. Historically, farmers in the Kilombero Valley received some of the lowest prices for cocoa in the country. In Kokoa Kamili’s first year alone Kilombero farmers received the highest prices in Tanzania for their cocoa.
