Virtual Chocolate Tasting: Juneteenth Spirited Africa Chocolate Celebration (5 Bars | Shipping Included)

To commemorate Juneteenth, join us in celebrating and exploring African & the continent that brings us the cacao used to make much of the chocolate around the globe. Chocolate makers from near and far working hard to improve the lives of African cacao growers and create a better world both in Africa and beyond. 

West Africa collectively brings around 60% of the world’s cacao crop but we do not have a large portfolio of African chocolate makers on the craft seen just yet. Sadly the industry is still plagued by human rights violations and child and slave labor practices. In honor of Juneteenth, we have created a tasting series with wide range of bars all sourced ethically using direct trade cacao grown on the African continent.
