Where it comes from

The farmers hold the power

We are not a factory. We are the bridge — working directly with Vietnamese growers, choosing what meets our standard, and verifying it with independent testing. Our sourcing partners pay farmers well above market price, often double.

Straight answers

Where do I buy it?

On Amazon. This website is where you check the evidence — the purchase, payment, shipping and returns all happen through Amazon, so you get their tracking and return protection. Shop on Amazon.

Is it tested for heavy metals?

Yes, by TSL Science, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited laboratory. Cadmium measured at 0.081 mg/kg — the EU limit for cocoa powder is 0.60. Lead, arsenic, mercury and aflatoxins were not detected. The complete reports, with lab name, reference number, date and method, are on our Lab Results & Awards page and downloadable as PDFs.

Is it certified organic?

No — and we would rather say so. It is grown using organic practices, with no synthetic pesticides, but it does not carry a USDA Organic certification, so we do not print the seal. Worth knowing: organic certification governs what is added to a crop, not the cadmium a tree draws up from the soil. Here is what the seal actually certifies.

Natural or Dutch-processed?

Natural, non-alkalized. Alkalizing mellows the flavour but removes a large share of the flavanols. Ours measured 3.89 g/100 g total polyphenols and 6.881 mg/g epicatechin. The full comparison is here.

How much can I drink in a day?

One to two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa suits most healthy adults. At two tablespoons of ours, that is about 0.97 µg of cadmium — roughly a quarter of the California Proposition 65 daily allowance from all foods combined. The arithmetic is here.
