Masala Chai 50%, Siamaya Chocolate

Name: Masala Chai
Brand: Siamaya Chocolate
Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)

Siamaya Chocolate is a bean-to-bar maker based in Thailand that focuses on local ingredients. The company processes cacao sourced directly from the Chiang Mai region, maintaining full oversight from the raw bean to the finished bar.

This 50% milk chocolate bar incorporates a spice profile consisting of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove, and black pepper. The cacao beans undergo a 6-7 day fermentation process in wooden boxes followed by sun drying, which creates a foundational base for the spices. The result is a creamy texture that balances the sweetness of cane sugar with the aromatic heat of the Masala Chai blend, an approach recognized with a Bronze award at the Academy of Chocolate 2023.

The production model emphasizes transparency and ethical sourcing through Direct Trade practices. By working closely with local farmers in Chiang Mai and ensuring the supply chain remains Non-GMO, the maker aims to elevate Thai cacao within the global specialty landscape.
