Grown by small farmer co-ops

This chocolate bar is made from organic cacao from Panama (for the chocolate liquor) and Dominican Republic and Peru (for the cocoa butter), organic sugar from Paraguay, and organic vanilla from Madagascar, all grown by small farmer co-ops. When farmers organize into co-ops they gain crucial market access, run their business democratically, and decide together how to invest in their communities. Founded in 1952, COCABO was the first agricultural co-operative established in Panama. Through their care of the land, the co-op plays a critical role in preserving local ecosystems and the nearby Amistad Forest Reserve.

Four of our coffee team in front of the roasting machine

Our worker-owned, solar-generating roastery

At our Massachusetts HQ, our team batch-roasts coffee daily under a 1,418 panel solar array, bringing out the best flavors of each harvest. At the lighter end of the roast spectrum, we accentuate the unique fruity and floral notes within the beans. As the roast length increases, the natural sugars in the coffee beans caramelize and darken to elicit a richer body. Our darkest roasts fully express the beans’ natural oils, yielding subtle smokiness and flavors akin to dark chocolate. At every level, our expert team creates a smooth, clean, and balanced cup with reliable consistency from batch to batch.

Best and Purest Chocolate

"I love your chocolate. It is far superior to all the other chocolates I have tried. Yours is creamier and better tasting. As someone who has food sensitivities, I truly appreciate that your chocolate does not trigger any problems for me. This doesn't surprise me, because of the high quality of your ingredients. And, they're organic! And they are Fair Trade! I choose your chocolate over all others."

This was a repeat order;

"This was a repeat order; it is the only dark chocolate that I have found which does not contain added sugar. It is a perfectly delicious mouthful without additional sweetening/calories, which makes it a nutritional plus. I'm proud to patronize an organization which properly compensates those who cultivate and harvest the product."

VIRGINIA B. (5/5)

The BEST organic dark chocolate bar!!!

"This is our favorite organic dark chocolate,, best of all of them in our humble opinion:) We love its smooth rich dark flavor and notes. We like to break off a few squares every night and pair with a few candied organic gunger pieces, brazil nuts, and a mandarine orange. We call it our yummy plate:) A healthy after dinner treat."
