The story

Whisked with hot water and a batirol, tablea becomes tsokolate eh — thick, bitter, ceremonial. Rizal wrote about it. Grandmothers still argue about it.

Ours is pure cacao — no fillers, no cocoa powder — roasted and ground the traditional way.

In the kitchen

Drinking chocolate, champorado, mole-style sauces, baking.
