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.

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).

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.
