This trio rises from a single plantation when intentionally the potential of the uncommon single varietals was to be presented. Qawa & Xkakao Roq ha - in-house clones - bring a new dimension to flavor potential of Guatemala; Qawa Kakao opens up with an intense floral bouquet of geranium and hibiscus with aromatic essence and strong Physalis flavor. Xkakao Roq ha elevates red fruit notes; juicy pomegranate, berries but also tart citrus and kiwi blend in harmony finishing with sweet woody, and lingering cocoa flavors.
