Bolivia Three Tribes 70% Dark Chocolate making kit

Welcome to one of our first Single Origin Chocolate making kits. This Bolivia 3 Tribes cacao leads with bold chocolate, dried fruit, and a whisper of browned butter—finishing long, dark, and deeply satisfying.

This origin really shines at 70% and a touch of added cocoa butter rounds out the profile and helps open up the flavor as it refines.

Everything is pre-roasted, winnowed, portioned, and measured—no weighing, no prep, no stress. Just pour it into your melanger and let the magic happen. By the next day, you’ll have fresh craft chocolate.

Here we go with another mighty giant. These wild collected beans beans are tiny and pack an incredible chocolate punch. Why? The average cocoa bean is 90-110 beans/100 grams. These average 145-155 beans/100 grams. What comes with that small size is a distinct density and concentration of flavor.

The aroma bold chocolate and sweet, rich dried brown fruits. Just the smell had my mouth watering.

There is no mistaking the punch of chocolate as soon as you take a bite. I associate that strong and bold presence with most wild harvested beans, regardless of origin. There is a really nice soft tang that I almost hesitate to call acidity . In the roast there was browned butter wafting off and it comes through just a little in the flavor. It is coupled with a light brown sugar clarity and dried cherry. Oh, and more chocolate. It puts me in mind of a gooey, dense fudge cake.

Once you start to savor the chocolate and roll it around in your mouth you will note a moderate backbone of bitterness and a virtually perfectly balanced astringency. The bitterness puts me in mind of certain coffees and where it doesn't really taste like coffee, it kind of has the synergy of a mocha.

The finish is long and has layers of cherry jam and some undefinable darkness that I almost want to call earthiness but not really.
