reduce. reuse. recycle.
We do our upmost to work by the reduce, reuse, recycle - principle.
This reflects in our packaging.
Our PET jar is a lightweight, circular packaging. After serving a first lifetime, it has been recycled into our rPET. And is now again, reusable or fully recyclable to get a third lifetime and more. So cherish its beautiful scars.
Our label has been developed to be fully removable. Different from the classic labels with a high intensity permanent glue (which makes the label unremovable & the PET jar consequently burnt instead of recycled) we've opted for our paper label with a thin layer of PE and non permanent glue.
You can either remove the label when sorting, or the label will be removed during the recycling process.

- cobea comes pre-ground, as light roasted cocoa beans ground to a medium to medium coarse grind size.
- brew guides. cobea brews very much like coffee, but not quite the same. novice at brewing cocoa beans, check our brew guides to explore the best experiences.
- we very much advocate for a single pour brew at 85°C using a cone shaped paper filter.
for this we love using the Hario MUGEN + Cafec paper filter combo. (check our shop) - but cobea offers versatility for many brew styles . v60 or flat bottom pour over . french press . moka pot . aeropress . cold & batch brew

caffeine. cobea contains about 1/8 to 1/10 of the levels of caffeine compared to the same volume of filter coffee . as a result it can be enjoyed round the clock without caffeine-jitters.
theobromine. a cup of 150ml cobea contains 50mg of theobromine . a gentler, more steady and long lasting source of energy.
polyphenols. the same cup of 150ml contains 90mg of polyphenols, known for their contribution to maintain the elasticity of blood vessels & optimum blood flow . a daily dosis of 200mg is considered having immediate positive health effects .
so you only need 2.22 cups of cobea to hit that mark.
no waste. after brewing you can reuse the cocoa grounds for baking, scooping into your (plant-based) yoghurt or granola, etc . it just keeps giving.
calorie-free. the high cocoa butter content of our light roasted ground cocoa (55-58%) delivers a unique, complex taste & aroma to our brew . but by using a paper filter, our brew is considered completely fat- & sugar free with only 1.7 kcal/100ml.

Cultivating excellence: ethical & sustainable fine flavoured cocoa.
The St Vincent Cocoa Company is 100% Vincentian, registered in St Vincent, operated by Vincentians and employing Vincentians. They only farm outside the designated protected forest and water catchment areas and only plant on previously cropped lands. As a result deforestation is a non-issue. Their cocoa is grown in the recognized Agroforestal System with indigenous trees such as mangoes and a high canopy is maintained together with inter-planting of long-term tree crops such as Mahogany. Farmers are paid considerably higher than the recommended Fairtrade rate.
