Tuma. Another of Nicaragua's rare cacao varieties, and a completely different experience from our other bars.

Where Opayo is bright and fruity, Tuma is deep and warm. Robust cocoa with a nutty backbone. The kind of chocolate that feels like it's been around for centuries. Because the variety has.

Single origin. Single variety. Grown in Nicaragua's volcanic highlands. Fermented 6 days. Stone-ground 72 hours. Tempered by hand in Wicker Park.

Tasting notes: Robust cocoa. Nutty warmth. Hints of wood and cinnamon. A finish that settles in like a good conversation.

For the curious: Compare this bar side by side with our Opayo. Same origin, same percentage, same process. Completely different flavor. That's what variety does.

70g bar. Store below 70°F. Best within 6 months.

Ingredients

Organic cacao beans, Sugar

Our products are crafted in a facility that occasionally handles milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy. While we follow strict protocols, we cannot guarantee any product is completely free of allergens.
storage instructions
  • Store in a cool, dark place (40°F-68°F) - your pantry is perfect! Keep away from heat, sunlight, and strong odors.
  • See a whitish sheen on your chocolate? Don't worry! This is called 'bloom' - it happens when temperature changes cause the cocoa butter to naturally separate. While it might not look as pretty, bloomed chocolate is still delicious and perfect for melting into coffee, baking, or making hot chocolate.
  • No freezing needed - chocolate is happiest at room temperature!
