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.

caffeine. our filter cacao 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 filter cacao 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 filter cacao to hit that mark.
no waste. after brewing you can reuse the cacao grounds for baking, scooping into your (plant-based) yoghurt or granola, etc . it just keeps giving.
calorie-free. the high cacao butter content of our light roasted ground cacao (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.

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.
