Cacao is just like wine grapes and coffee beans - their flavour is influenced by the origin and terrain where they’re grown.
Darkroom seek out beans from origins that give a wide spectrum of natural flavours - from brightly acidic and fruity, through rich and dark, to creamy and familiar bars.
Each origin has a different feel, and appeals to different tribes:
Light-roasted coffee lovers love Madagascar and Tanzania.
Classic dark chocolate lovers love Grenada and Sierra Leone.
Seasoned chocolate adventurers love the unusual Brazil and Peru bars.
Even dedicated milk chocolate lovers love Honduras and Uganda.
