Origin & Craftsmanship
Crafted by SLOK from Hong Kong using rare Chuncho cacao beans grown in the Urubamba region of Peru—one of the world’s oldest cacao varieties. The bar is built for drinking chocolate, with the beans roasted and ground to a specialty specification. 
This expression won the Gold medal in the 2024 World Craft Drinking Chocolate Competition (Plain/origin dark drinking chocolate (made with water)) — a strong mark of its quality and uniqueness. 

Flavor Profile
The tasting notes highlight “Hosui Pear / Yellow Fruit / Floral” as the key flavour signatures, offering a clear, elegant progression from gentle fruit sweetness into a floral finish. Expect a smooth texture, bright fruit lift and an evolving aromatic quality that sets it apart from typical drinking chocolates.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Heat hot milk (or water) and whisk one part chocolate to three parts liquid to create a silky, aromatic drinking chocolate.
Sip slowly to taste the pear-like fruit opening, then note the mellow yellow fruit undertones and subtle floral finish. For a pairing, consider a gentle, delicate herbal tea (like chamomile) to mirror the floral tones, or a lightly spiced rum to contrast and elevate the drinkable format. A slice of poached pear or a short-bread biscuit works well for texture and flavour support.

With its rare Peruvian cacao origin, distinctive fruity-floral profile and top-tier recognition, it’s ideal for chocolate lovers who appreciate more than just sweetness—they seek a rich, refined sipping experience.
