Maker

Chocolate Tree

Since 2005, Chocolate Tree has been crafting award-winning organic chocolate with a mission to protect biodiversity and uplift farming communities. From their micro-factory in East Lothian, Scotland, founders Alastair and Friederike Gower work with agro-forested cacao sourced from smallholder farms across South and Central America. Their range spans elegant single-estate origin bars to playful, flavor-packed inclusions—all made with simple, sustainably sourced ingredients. Distinctive tessellation designs on their biodegradable packaging reflect the origins of the cacao itself, capturing the brand’s down-to-earth yet artisanal spirit.

Cacao region

Lachua

Lachuá is a cacao region in Guatemala's Alta Verapaz, where indigenous Q'eqchi' Maya families farm sustainable cacao in a biodiverse landscape of limestone hills. The region combines tangy berry notes with coffee and walnut base flavors, creating a distinctive profile. Fermentation is done in boxes and drying on patios, producing classic Lachuá notes of lemon, strawberry, and walnut. The cacao grows as part of an environmental protection plan for the pristine Laguna Lachuá.

Cacao strain

Arriba

Arriba is an heirloom cacao from Ecuador's coastal region, historically prized for its distinctive aromatic quality. The strain is genetically unique and has been protected as a cultural heritage variety, making authentic Arriba a notable choice for makers focused on singular origin expression.

This bar is sweetened entirely with cacao fruit, not refined sugar or alternative sweeteners. It uses both the cacao bean and the cacao fruit itself, creating a naturally sweet, tropical flavor that feels clean, vibrant, and genuinely chocolate-forward. The result is a bar that tastes indulgent while staying true to real, minimally processed ingredients.

From a whole-foods perspective, this is about as good as it gets. Using the cacao fruit to sweeten chocolate is rare, thoughtful, and nutritionally sound. The flavor has a subtle tropical brightness that enhances the cacao rather than masking it, and it delivers a true chocolate experience without the heaviness or cloying sweetness found in conventional bars.

One area for improvement is transparency and sourcing. The bar is not labeled organic or non-GMO. According to the manufacturer, approximately 30% of the product is cacao fruit juice, and that portion is not organic. This feels like a missed opportunity. If there were one change to make, it would be this: commit fully to organic sourcing for all ingredients and clearly state organic and non-GMO status, even if a USDA seal is not used. For a product positioned at this level, that distinction matters.

That said, the quality, innovation, and flavor more than justify the price. This is an exceptional chocolate and, in my experience, the best option available for anyone seeking a truly whole-foods, naturally sweetened chocolate bar.

In short: it is outstanding, worth every penny, and nearly perfect. With fully organic cacao fruit and clearer labeling, it would set the gold standard for chocolate.

Super interesting

This bar was super interesting, I'm glad they made it and they made it very well. Now that being said it was super astringent, tart and sour. You really could taste the cacao fruit and nothing but 100% could hold up here. Not a bar I really want to eat again but its an awesome experiment. I'm happy to have tried this.

Fruity/Unique

This is a unique bar. 100% cacao but not bitter, accented with the taste of cacao fruit. Definitely worth a try!

literally something out of this world!

i am a 100% chocolate fan and have tried so many different brands. But this 100% cacao with cacao fruit is NEXT LEVEL! the flavor profile and mouthfeel is like nothing else. stocking up!!
