Maker

Fu Wan Chocolate

Fu Wan Chocolate (or FuWan) is a tree and bean to bar chocolate maker from Taiwan. They make chocolates from natively grown Taiwanese cocoa and from other fine cocoa bean sources from around the world. In 2011, Fu Wan originally started a resort, Warren Hsu, the executive chef at the resort wanted to provide the best local cuisine to its guests. One day he met a cacao farmer while Hsu was sourcing local ingredients and was introduced to cacao, and Hsu was immediately inspired by real tasting chocolate! With the cacao industry being relatively young, most of the cacao is being exported, making Fu Wan one of the very few makers handcrafting bean to bar chocolate with local cacao beans. Hsu has trained with bean to bar makers to share his journey of flavors through his chocolate bars. Fu Wan also believes in an eco-friendly approach. They take emptied out cacao pods, which are considered a waste product and convert them into cacao syrup. They also product cacao tea and even in the works of producing cacao paper. Warren came up with the name Fu Wan because Fu meaning fortune, blessings and happiness, and Wan means bay. Fu Wan is located near a national scenic area, hence they are from a bay full of fortune, blessings and happiness! 

Cacao Region

Pingtung, Taiwan

Pingtung County is the southernmost region in Taiwan, with a warm tropical monsoon climate and a reputation for agricultural & aboriginal tourism. Until the arrival of Hakka settlers from southern China in the mid-1600’s, this part of Taiwan was actually known as a place of exile for Chinese criminals. In modern-day Pingtung, it’s still common to hear locals speaking the Hakka language, and occasionally one of the few remaining indigenous languages of Taiwan. Cacao is believed to have been introduced to the region during the lengthy Japanese occupation of Taiwan, in the late 1800’s, and has only seen a resurgence over the last decade.

Fu Wan Taiwan #3 Black Sugar 70%

Fu Wan is one of my favorite makers. I do not want to say I love all their bars. Some tea 62% are actually not my favorite. But overall, I like their chocolate and some inclusions are pretty tasty. This Black Sugar represents an eye-opening tasting experience since I 've never tried this type of sugar and I really love some tasting notes like the milk tea mentioned and brandy.

70% dark chocolate

Shipping was amazingly fast, and it was well packaged. I haven’t tasted dark chocolate this good. It’s a bit pricey but we’ll worth it, and I would order more.
