A delicate, lightly sweet brew made from the outer shell of the cacao bean. We steep it like tea: naturally light on caffeine, a gentle chocolate note, nothing added.
It's a quiet discovery few people have ever had. Hot or iced, on its own or with a little honey, it's the cup for the wind-down end of the day.
The husk comes from the same Nicaraguan heirloom cacao behind our bars, grown by more than 1,000 farming families across Nicaragua. We use the whole bean, so nothing good goes to waste.
12oz. Vegan. Naturally low in caffeine.

Where it comes from
The shell of the same Nicaraguan heirloom cacao behind our bars.
Fermented and dried in Tipitapa through Ingemann, our partner cacao company, which we part-own and direct. Made into chocolate at our own factory in San Juan del Sur. Finished in Wicker Park.
The cacao has earned 345+ international awards.

Our commitment to regenerationQuestions
When will my order ship?
We process orders in 3 to 5 business days, and a little longer in busy holiday weeks. You get a tracking email when it leaves. We ship across the United States and Canada.
Will the chocolate melt on the way?
Above 75°F we pack chocolate with insulation and cold packs, and we ship it Monday to Wednesday so it isn't in transit over a weekend. From May to September, orders placed on a Thursday or Friday may wait until Monday. Please have someone there to receive it, or ship it where it can come indoors: we can't refund chocolate that melted because a delivery was missed or delayed. For gift sets purchased directly from Oro, the 30-day make-it-right promise in our return and refund policy takes precedence over that exclusion.
How should I store it?
Somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from heat, sunlight and strong smells. Each product's own storage note is in the list above.
Can I pick it up in Chicago?
Yes. Choose in-store pickup at checkout and we'll tell you when it's ready at 1553 N Milwaukee Ave, Wicker Park.
What if it arrives damaged?
If your order arrives damaged, write to community@orochocolate.com with your order number and photos of the product and packaging. Please report arrival damage within 48 hours so we can help quickly. For gift sets purchased directly from Oro, our make-it-right promise lasts 30 days from delivery; the 48-hour request does not shorten that promise. We'll review the issue and offer a replacement or refund as appropriate. No food needs to be mailed back.
