Discover the unique flavour of Firetree's Tanzania 74% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Bar with Nibs. This exquisite bar brings together fruity cocoa with bright notes of red fruit and vibrant lemon, enhanced by the pleasing crunch of slow-roasted cocoa nibs.
The cocoa for this bar is sourced from a small crop thriving in the rich, deep red soils around the rural village of Mbingu – Swahili for 'Heaven' – nestled in a valley at the foot of the Udzungwa Mountains. This specific terroir, characteristic of the 'ring of fire' islands where Firetree sources its beans, imparts a truly distinctive character to the chocolate.
Firetree is dedicated to a bean-to-bar craft, working closely with local farmers who meticulously harvest perfectly ripe pods. The fermentation process, guided by years of sensory expertise, and traditional sun-drying ensure that the inherent, sumptuous flavours of this unique cocoa are fully developed and preserved in every 70g bar.

About Firetree
Firetree specialises in crafting exquisite chocolate, addressing the desire for distinctive, high-quality experiences that transcend mass-produced offerings. They bring the nuanced tastes of remote island terroirs to the forefront, focusing on the unique flavour profiles derived from cocoa beans grown in volcanic soils.
What sets Firetree apart is their meticulous sourcing from the 'ring of fire' islands like those in the southern Pacific, Oceania, and Madagascar. The cocoa trees, or 'firetrees', thrive in this rich, porous volcanic soil, which imparts a distinctive character to the beans. This geographical specificity, combined with their commitment to single-origin cocoa, ensures a chocolate experience unlike any other.
Firetree's dedication extends to the craft, working closely with local farmers who expertly harvest only perfectly ripe pods. The fermentation process, often described as an art, relies on the farmers' sensory expertise and years of experience, followed by traditional sun-drying. This careful, hands-on approach from farm to factory ensures that the inherent sumptuous flavours of their unique cocoa are fully developed and preserved in every bar.
