— The experience —

A generous bar, to share. The Arhuaco cocoa comes from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — land of Colombia’s first peoples. The bean yields an elegant richness, a roundness of toasted hazelnut that naturally pairs with amber eaux-de-vie. To be enjoyed after dinner over a lightly peated whisky or a long espresso. Store at 18 °C.

— Cocktails —

With alcohol

  • White Russian with cold brew coffee
  • Bourbon-orange Old Fashioned
  • Espresso Negroni
  • Classic Sazerac

Without alcohol

  • Long espresso coffee
  • Oat milk cold brew
  • Old-fashioned hot chocolate
  • Hazelnut-cardamom infusion

Colombia calls for woody depth. Amber spirits and single-origin coffees prolong the hazelnut note. To be avoided with fine bubbles, which break the roundness.

— Our story —

Arhuaco cocoa, cultivated by the indigenous community of the same name in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Agroforestry plantation, at the heart of the primary forest. The harvest follows the lunar calendar of the Arhuacos. Fermentation for five days in wooden vats, drying in the Andean sun. Gentle roasting in our workshops, 80-hour conching. A broad, generous bar, faithful to the richness of its terroir.

— Shelf life —

Keep away from light and heat. Best enjoyed within 6 to 8 weeks, stored between 18 and 20 °C.
