Re-visiting the concept of “single origin” through the cacao of Koko Kamilia, Tanzania

Revisit what “single origin” really means — and whether it tells the whole story — through a guided tasting centered on Koko Kamilia, Tanzania. In this focused session, we’ll taste a curated selection of craft chocolate bars made specifically from Koko Kamilia cacao, exploring how different makers interpret the same source. Along the way, we’ll discuss who and what Koko Kamilia is — from its role in Tanzanian cacao to its impact on quality and flavor — while unpacking the nuances, and limitations, of the term “single origin.” Expect a lively, palate-opening experience that deepens both your tasting skills and your understanding of origin in craft chocolate.
