70% cacao drinking chocolate, with Peruvian chili and Guatemalan cardamom. A warm, spicy profile with a subtle fruity background.
The cacao comes from Fazenda Vera Cruz, in the state of Bahia, Brazil. An organic certified farm that practices agroforestry: cacao grows alongside acai, vanilla, pepper, cloves, and guarana, not in monoculture. This diversity is noticeable in the aroma.
To prepare: one heaped tablespoon (15g) per 100ml of liquid. Best in a milk frother, although with water the taste is purer.
