Farming details:

Kokoa Kamili is situated in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, an area known for its abundance of bird and mammal wildlife. It is most famous for the eleven different primate species, bird life, and is one of three remaining sites that support Savannah Elephants in a mountainous environment. Current estimates say that 2,000 elephants reside in and around the Udzungwa area.

Historically, farmers in the Kilombero Valley received some of the lowest prices for cocoa in the country. In Kokoa Kamili’s first year alone Kilombero farmers received the highest prices in Tanzania for their cocoa.

Shipping Notes:

Please be advised of the following natural characteristics of our chocolate products:

  • Breakage During Shipping: Due to the nature of our chocolate, pieces may arrive broken. This does not affect quality or flavor, as the chocolate is intended to be broken down for use in drinking chocolate or scaling.

  • Appearance of White Spots: You may notice white spots or streaks on the surface of the chocolate. This is a natural occurrence known as cocoa butter bloom. It is entirely harmless, does not indicate spoilage, and has no effect on the taste or usability of the product.

  • Texture & Finish: Our chocolate is intentionally left untempered. Unlike tempered chocolate bars that have a glossy shine and firm snap, untempered chocolate breaks apart more easily—making it ideal for preparation as drinking chocolate.

By purchasing, you acknowledge and accept these natural variations as part of the artisanal qualities of our chocolate.
