Dandelion Chocolate 70% Kokoa Kamili Tanzania

From the Maker

In the village of Mbingu, Tanzania, the Kokoa Kamili team expertly ferments beans gathered from over 5000 small local farms. Dandelion Japan Chocolate Maker Mari, drawn to these beans’ natural acidity and bright fruitiness, roasts to enhance their vibrant, juicy essence. We taste notes of ripe plum, creamy yogurt, and decadent chocolate terrine.

Ingredients
All of our single-origin chocolate is made with just cocoa beans and sugar; no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla.
Allergens: Our chocolate is free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten, and it is made in a factory that does not process nuts.

Cacao Sourcing

Based in the southwestern Tanzanian village of Mbingu, Brian LoBue’s and Simran Bindra’s social enterprise, Kokoa Kamili, buys freshly harvested, unfermented cacao beans from local smallholder farms and ferments them in a centralized facility. By carefully controlling fermentation and drying, Kokoa Kamili consistently produces delicious, high-quality beans that fetch a premium price from craft chocolate makers. The payment premium makes its way back to cacao growers and helps raise the price floor for Tanzanian cocoa.
