ABOUT THE COCOA POWDER: Not all cocoa powder is the same. That is the lesson we learned while sourcing this from Tanzania. There are two main types: Natural and alkalized (dutch process). In a nutshell, alkalized has been effectively 'washed' with an alkaline solution to remove acidity from the cacao. Natural is just that - natural. Of course we went with natural, because it's full of flavour and goes through less of a process. We source our cocoa powder from the team at Kokoa Kamili (same producers as our Tanzania 80% Dark Chocolate). Kokoa Kamili was founded by Brian LoBue and Simran Bindra, who have backgrounds in international development throughout eastern and southern Africa.
