Description

Ceremonial. It is all down to the beans. Far from hypes and imitations, but rooted in nature. The highest quality standards, both in farming & process. Single variety genetics, single plantation grown, organic, with focus on native & ancestral cacao trees. Light roasted showcasing tastes of origin. Best enjoyed sipping in small portions, mindful, or not. In its purest form with a splash of water, some added spices/sweetener or steamed with m*lk.

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, ...
