Our koko is untempered which helps it melt faster in your cup. As a result it can develop bloom.

Bloom is when the fat content separates from the koko and rises to the surface. Bloom can often look like a marbled, powdery streaky substance. This is normal in untempered chocolate and is still perfectly safe to consume.

*May contain traces of cocoa husk and cocoa nibs.

Allergens: None. Made in a roastery that handles only cacao.

Natural stimulants: Cacao naturally contains caffeine and theobromine. No caffeine is added. One pod has about 8 mg of caffeine, much less than a typical cup of coffee.

Pregnant or breastfeeding: New Zealand guidance is to keep caffeine under 200 mg a day from all sources. Koko counts toward that total.

Children: Koko contains natural stimulants. Serve young children smaller or weaker cups, and avoid it close to bedtime.

Toxic to dogs and cats: Pure cacao is much stronger than milk chocolate, and a single pod can make a small dog unwell. Store out of reach of pets. If your pet eats any, call your vet straight away.

Kidney health: Cacao is naturally high in oxalate. If you have kidney disease or have been advised to follow a low-oxalate diet, talk to your doctor about how much koko is right for you.

Serve with care: Koko is made with boiling water. Let it cool before giving it to children.

Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place.
