Cacao Origins

KOKOA KAMILI - TANZANIA

Kokoa Kamili's beans come from a small village called 'Mbingu' in the Kilombero Valley, in the Morogoro Region.This is a very suitable place for growing cocoa beans and has won many international gold MEDALS for cocoa beans.
In the Christmas of 2022, Mark had the honor to have a heated discussion with Simran, co-founder of Kokoa Kamili, on the cocoa bean planting, fermentation and other technologies at the West Seattle Chocolate Festival in the United States.
