Sirene – Kokoa Kamili, Tanzania Coastal Rainforest Inclusions, Dark 73%

ABOUT THE BAR

This smooth 73% dark bar encapsulates the flavours of the coastal rainforest. The currant, morel and kelp inclusions found in this bar are but a small part of the life the rainforest sustains. Fruity notes from the currants are delivered alongside kelp flavours, overlaid by a rich umami from the morels.

ABOUT THE MAKER

Sirene is a Canadian small-batch craft chocolate maker, crafting its chocolate in Victoria, British Columbia. Taylor Kennedy founded Sirene in 2013 after 18 years at the National Geographic Society, having become obsessed with the particular and painstaking process required to make great chocolate. Sirene looks at many factors when considering a new cocoa farmer, and considers its relationship with suppliers as one of equals, working together to deliver the best chocolate possible.

ABOUT THE BEANS

The beans for this bar are sourced from Kokoa Kamili, a social enterprise fermentary who operate by purchasing ‘wet’ cocoa beans directly from smallholder farmers, and then ferment and dry the beans following its post-harvest protocol. The cacao beans are all sourced from the Kilombero Valley, Morogoro Region, so as to raise the profile of Tanzanian cocoa.
