200g ground dark chocolate min. 65% cocoa solids

made with light roasted cacao beans (never cacao powders) 
vegan, artificial-free and no additives what so ever.

Preparing our drinking chocolate

Ratio We recommend a 1:7.5 ratio, 1 part of ground chocolate to 7.5 parts of dairy or plant-based milk.

Method Working with ground chocolate offers an amazing versatility for preparation as it simply melts into your hot water, milk or plant-based. You can steam into a hot chocolate using an espresso machine’s steam wand, use a milk frother, automatic foamer, french press, shaker or simply heat gently on the stove, while constantly stirring. 

Ground chocolate We grind our chocolate for optimum solubility and a smooth, velvety hot chocolate. The mouthfeel is incomparable to what you can achieve with cacao powder (which is the result of an intensive, often chemical, process removing all amazing cacao butter).

Check our brew guides for different styles & options using a milk frother, stovetop, steam wand, ...

ABOUT ANH EM CACAO CO.

Farmers and their communities benefiting from award-winning cacao.

Cacao was introduced to Vietnam in the late 1800’s, but it's only since the 21st century that it started to be cultivated on a more professional level. In the Dak Lak Province, cocoa is typically grown alongside coconut and fruit trees such as pomelo, banana and longan. Anh Em Cacao Co. was founded in 2017 by two school friends, Truong Minh Thang and Nguyen Duy Thong, who realized that the quality of the cocoa produced in Dak Lak could be improved. They did research on microbial biodiversity and post harvesting processes to optimize the flavour potential of the beans. It would become the basis for some of the award winning chocolate they produced through their brand Tbros. By achieving this quality they are able to pay premium prices to the farmers and support their communities.
