MATCHA CHOCO-LATTE

We mixed Rishi Tea's robust organic matcha from Kagoshima, Japan into our vegan coconut white chocolate, then swirled it into a 71% dark for a creamy and vibrant visual (and edible!) feast.

About Raaka: We make unroasted dark chocolate from scratch, with traceable, high quality, and transparently traded single origin cacao, crafted into something uncommonly delicious. Cacao beans are the seeds of the cacao fruit, harvested and prepared by producers at origin. Every bean has a flavor profile shaped by the soil and climate it grows in, as well as the care each producer takes in cultivating and processing it. This fruity flavor is often roasted away in favor of that classic chocolatey note. We love this fruit-forward flavor, and we make our chocolate without roasting so you can enjoy it too.
