Lapsang Souchong Pearls

Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of the Italian Dolomites, Karuna operates as a dedicated bean-to-bar maker with a deep commitment to the craft. This small-scale producer focuses on transforming raw cacao into nuanced bars that reflect the unique characteristics of their origin, moving far beyond the industrial approach to highlight the inherent quality of the bean.

The Lapsang Souchong Pearls bar is a sophisticated 69 percent dark chocolate that showcases the marriage of cacao and smoke. Using Trinitario beans sourced from the Duarte region of the Dominican Republic, the bar offers a complex sensory journey. The cacao, fermented in wooden boxes for up to six days and finished on solar drying decks, provides a foundational depth that carries distinct notes of malt and dried fruit. These are elevated by the infusion of Lapsang Souchong tea, which imparts a signature smoky aroma, earning the bar a bronze recognition at the Academy of Chocolate in 2019.

Karuna maintains a transparent and responsible approach to production. The Lapsang Souchong Pearls bar is both organic and vegan, ensuring that the integrity of the ingredients remains the priority. By strictly controlling every step from the bean to the finished bar, the maker ensures that the environmental impact and the quality of the raw material are held to the highest possible standard.
