Explorer Club #306: TANZANIA

Tanzania is safari country—where giraffes drift beneath umbrella acacias and elephants weave through the grasslands like living legends. But this journey goes beyond the usual safari path, deep into the Kilombero Valley and up through Udzungwa Mountains National Park. No long flights or bumpy roads required. Just unwrap, taste, and let your imagination roam.

Monsoon Kokoa Kamili Tanzania 77%

Producer Country: United States
Cocoa: Tanzania
Weight: 50 g

Kokoa Kamili operates a central fermentary collaborating with nearly 3000 small shareholder farms. They purchase "wet" cacao—fresh fruit from farmers within 24 hours of harvest—to oversee all processing, ensuring a consistently high-quality product and offering farmers increased compensation and reduced workload. It's a triple win, with you, the chocolate lover, as the third beneficiary. Kokoa Kamili beans produce some of the world's most exquisite chocolate, exemplified by this bar's rich, dark flavours and underlying hints of dark cherry and freeze-dried raspberry. Remarkably smooth despite its high content and high acid-high roast profile, it has not a trace of wayward tannin and boasts a bright lemon zest note that adds a lively, fresh dimension. It is smooth as silk.

Karuna Kokoa Kamili Tanzania 70%

Producer Country: Italy
Cocoa: Tanzania
Weight: 60 g

This organic cocoa comes from the Kilombero Valley, near Udzungwa National Park. The company Kokoa Kamili ferments and dries cocoa from about 2,000 local farmers. Cocoa from this collective is among my favourites due to its robust character. This bar is especially aromatic, with a scent reminiscent of bergamot, baking spice, and freshly baked chocolate cake. The flavour follows suit, delivering a thick, chewy texture, with underlying notes of currants and black plum. Despite its bold profile, this bar could not be more approachable.

Original Beans Cru Udzungwa w/ Nibs 70%

Producer Country: Switzerland
Cocoa: Tanzania
Weight: 70 g

Original Beans' mission includes environmentally regenerative and community-based initiatives in the regions they source from. In Udzungwa Park, Tanzania, this has included a program using beehives as fences to humanely and non-invasively deter elephants from trampling fields and consuming farmers' crops. Equally brilliant, this bar combines incredibly fruity and higher-acid cocoa, featuring flavourful bursts of blood orange and currants, balanced by dark honey notes and roasty nibs that add a satisfying crunch to the chocolate's smooth, soft texture.
