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.

The launch of hinduka specialty cacao in 2024 shows Bwamba cooperative having a different vision to what is dominantly known in the Bundibugyu region. It is the region of commodity produced, non-fermented bulk cacao, called “some some” cacao, referring to some beans fermented, some not.
They cooperative works hard to improve quality & post-harvest practices with the aim to create value and have direct access to the specialty market. It results in an atypical cacao stand-out from the crowd.

  • 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 

Nutritional benefits

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.
