• African Red Drinking Chocolate

• Mysterious, dark and powerful, this drinking chocolate is made from some of the world finest cocoa beans. Its exquisite flavour reflects the very best of African terroir and cocoa growers. Deliciously deep and sophisticated, it is adored by true chocolate connoisseurs. One of most pure and sumptuous hot chocolate experience you can find. This is Drinking Chocolate the cumulation of tasting over 300+ cocoas. Over a period of 2 years, the flavour profile of each one was assessed; each was tasted for its richness, depth of flavour, body/texture, cocoa liquor content, resonance/aftertaste and complexity. The cocoas came from Central America, South America, Asia, PNG, the Caribbean, and Africa, including West Africa. Finally, after evaluating each cocoa and writing detailed tasting notes, it was decided upon two West African cocoas. This blend of two cocoas is a true reflection of their unique terroir; the rich red soils, rather like cocoa itself.

• Unlike most other cocoas, this cocoa is made up the entire processed cocoa nibs.

  Most other cocoas are a by-product of making chocolate,where the most flavourful part of the cocoa bean, the liquor, is extracted off to be used in coverture and chocolate bars and all that is left is relatively bland floury brown powder.

  The African Red has a very high 22% of Cocoa Liquor/Butter, most others are 10% to 12%

  We retain 100% of rich cocoa liquor; hence it is one of the most flavourful cocoas imaginable. It also means that because of its dark nature and lack of processing, it retains much of its goodness, including many antioxidants and other health-giving properties present in good dark chocolate

• What do you Taste

  An intense dark chocolate experience, deep and powerful, with delightful hints of plum, dried cherries and sundried muscatels. It finishes off with an amazing textural resonance on the tongue and in the mouth, which is surprising given the superfine nature of this cocoa.
