How does KAICAO make Arabic coffee and cardamon chocolate?

At KAICAO we worked hard to get the flavors that remind us of our childhood by using the highest quality ingredients, we are using specialty coffee from "espiritu santo del pinal" in Brasil 1300 meters above sea level with strong coffee flavors to replicate the flavors of the Arabic coffee strong notes. We use fresh cardamon from the rain forests in Guatemala and cacao beans from Finca Lucero in Ecuador with very chocolaty and earthy notes. We then sweeten the chocolate bars with dates, so we actually add the sweetness of the dates directly into the chocolate bars so you get all the Arabic coffee and cardamon drinking experience in one bar.
