Green Tea Crunch

Raaka is a bean-to-bar maker located in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The team focuses on crafting chocolate from scratch, emphasizing transparency and distinct processing methods that highlight the inherent qualities of the cocoa bean.

This 66% cacao bar relies on unroasted beans sourced from the Zorzal Cacao farm in the Duarte region of the Dominican Republic. By omitting the roasting process, the maker preserves the raw character of the fruit. The texture and profile are defined by the addition of organic genmaicha green tea, which contributes a toasted rice element, and organic puffed quinoa. The sensory experience is defined by toasty, floral, and crunchy notes.

The composition of the bar is free from additives such as lecithin, vanillin, and dairy. It holds Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified certifications, reflecting the standards maintained throughout the production process in Brooklyn.
