Table – Kokoa Kamili, Tanzania, Dark 72%

About the bar

This 72% dark bar is extremely smooth and well-balanced, with tasting notes of mango and stone fruits, as well as a lengthy finish.

About the maker

Founded in late 2021 as Liverpool’s first bean-to-bar chocolate maker, Table Chocolate is the brainchild of three extraordinary people – entrepreneur and pastry chef Tian, graphic designer (turned chef) Remy, and marketing magician Andrea. Table Chocolate pride themselves on putting traceability at the forefront of their chocolate-making mission. And in addition to bringing traceability to the ‘table’, Table Chocolate want to help change minds through taste, vision and knowledge – especially the minds of pastry chefs who are stuck to contracts with chocolate industry giants worldwide.

The beans

The beans for this bar were sourced from Kokoa Kamili in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania. Kokoa Kamili has been paying premium prices for wet cocoa since 2015, saving farmers the tasks of fermentation and drying and adding enormous value to their cocoa beans. In the height of harvest season, Kokoa Kamili employs 50 people from their village, and has set up a scholarship fund for local girls to go to the nearby secondary school.
