MĀNOA CHOCOLATE - Cacao Tea
Since 2010 MANOA CHOCOLATE has been crafting bean-to-bar chocolate on the Hawaiian Island of Oʻahu. They ethically source cacao beans from Hawaiʻi and around the world, with a goal to bring out the best in each bean.
Bean-to-bar is a movement in chocolate that focuses on quality over quantity. Rather than sourcing cheap to blend from a variety of regions, MANOA CHOCOLATE works directly with farmers to source quality cacao at high prices and tell the story of where the chocolate is grown. This is our process from the cacao bean to the chocolate bar.
MANOA CHOCOLATE works closely with 10 Hawaiʻi cacao farms to source premium crops with varying flavor profiles, from dry Mililani to lush Hamakua Coast and the slopes of Maunakea. Each collabortion producing a unique variation of chocolate bar.
All Manoa Chocolate is made in their factory in Kailua, Oahu.
Mānoa Chocolate buys cacao direct from the farmer. This allows them to establish long lasting relationships based on trust and quality. By cutting out intermediaries they can also pay our farmers higher prices for their crop.
Each chocolate bar is packaged using recycled paper and wrapped in a biodegradable plant-based fiber.
