Swingin' Sunrise is a 72% Tanzanian dark chocolate bar by Mesjokke, crafted from Trinitario beans fermented to the rhythm of local Zilipendwa music.
Mesjokke is an artisan producer based in the Netherlands. The company focuses on crafting chocolate from the bean, maintaining close oversight of their supply chain. This specific bar, Swingin' Sunrise, represents a commitment to highlighting the distinct character of its Tanzanian roots.
The foundation of this 72% dark bar is the Trinitario cacao grown in the Kilombero Valley. A notable aspect of its production is the post-harvest protocol managed by Kokoa Kamili, where the beans are fermented and dried while accompanied by Tanzanian Zilipendwa music. Once at the workshop, the beans are refined in a melanger to achieve their final texture, balanced by a small addition of cane sugar from Paraguay and a touch of sunflower lecithin.
The attention to detail in the processing of these beans has been recognized internationally, including a Silver award at the 2018 Academy of Chocolate. The bar is presented in an 80-gram format.
