Drinking Chocolate 72% Uganda

Our dark Uganda drinking chocolate has an intense chocolate aroma with notes of cinnamon and fine aromas of plum and fig. We recommend at least three heaped teaspoons to 200 ml of hot, not boiling milk – a full-bodied, dark chocolate experience in liquid form.

We use beans from Latitude Trading Co. in the Bundibugyo District on the slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains, bordering Semliki National Park in Western Uganda. Founded in 2016, the company sources its cocoa beans from approximately 3,431 certified organic smallholder farmers. In addition to a premium for quality promotion, the producers also receive training in organic practices, cocoa quality, and finance.

LTC invests in the creation of high-quality producer polygons (geospatial data), deforestation, and traceability analyses. LTC’s central fermentation facility is located in the town of Kasese, where the beans are sun-dried on raised racks for six to seven days and blended before export.
