Rooibos

Honest Chocolate is a bean-to-bar maker located in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa. As an artisanal operation, the producer emphasizes a hand-crafted approach to chocolate making. By maintaining an old school production style, the team focuses on smaller, controlled batches that prioritize traditional techniques over industrial speed.

The Rooibos bar is a 54% dark chocolate creation that blends the intensity of cacao with the distinct, earthy character of local Rooibos tea. The manufacturing process utilizes a melanger to refine the ingredients, ensuring a consistent texture. Because it is formulated as a vegan product, it relies on sugar for sweetness without the use of dairy or animal-derived additives.

Sourcing practices at the workshop are rooted in direct trade principles. By maintaining these relationships, the producer monitors the quality of the raw material from the start. Each 60-gram bar reflects this direct engagement with the supply chain and a commitment to the specific methods favored by the Cape Town studio.
