— The experience —

A bar to discover slowly, in the open. The Sambirano cocoa — a valley in north-western Madagascar — is one of the most recognised terroirs in the world for its fruity vivacity. To be served cool over a dry Champagne or a taut cocktail, at the start of the evening. Store at 16-18 °C to preserve its tangy character.

— Cocktails —

With alcohol

  • Champagne-bitter Spritz with red fruits
  • Raspberry Daiquiri with Dzama rum
  • Raspberry Gin Sour
  • Champagne cocktail with citrus bitter

Without alcohol

  • Strawberry-basil lemonade
  • Iced hibiscus-raspberry infusion
  • Sparkling water with lime
  • Hibiscus-rose iced tea

Madagascar calls for freshness and brilliance. Taut bubbles, citrus and red fruits sublimate the vivacity of the bean. Avoid smoky spirits and heavy wines.

— Our story —

Sambirano cocoa, the Ambanja valley, at the foot of the Tsaratanana massif. A unique microclimate, rich volcanic soil, a Criollo-Trinitario bean. Harvested three times a year, open-air fermentation for four days, sun-drying on bamboo racks. Very short roasting at 105 °C to preserve the vivacity, 60-hour conching in our workshops. A bar that never loses the fruity brilliance of the Great Island.

— Shelf life —

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