About us
We are a small, family-owned cacao roastery. We craft our products in micro-batches with fine flavour single-origin cacao beans, sourced ethically from growers in Latin America. Our main products are craft chocolate brew and nutritious roasted cacao beans snack, using only real and simple ingredients. *Inspired by our travels in Latin America and the traditional Mayan way of drinking cacao we crafted a bean-to-cup chocolate brew with bold flavour which retains the health benefits of cacao. It is made with pure roasted cacao beans, organic coconut blossom sugar and for some blends with different spices. We use only high-quality fine flavour cacao beans, which we roast in micro-batches, crack, winnow and stone-grind to turn them into rich and nutritious drinking chocolate that feels like a tender hug. *Our roasted cacao beans snack is made with only real ingredients - organic cacao beans, spices, and coconut blossom sugar. We use the whole beans and combine them with other ingredients for those with a sweeter tooth. The perfect snack for anyone who finds themselves on a mountain peak, a forest hike path or on a snowy slope when skiing. We also love them with a cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon. They are nutritious, energy-boosting and bring joy and nourishment. The flavour of cacao depends on many factors - the climate and soil where the cacao beans grow, the fermentation and drying of the beans. Our aim when roasting is to bring out the special flavour that is unique to each cacao variety. The higher the percentage of cacao, the greater are the health benefits. As we do not extract the cacao butter from the beans we preserve on maximum the health benefits it can provide, as well as making sure we develop and keep the rich flavour of cacao. We are Flow and we celebrate life with cacao!

We have a brand new, very tasty and super limited edition of the favorite - #Ceremonial #Cacao. 💜 For this special one we chose tasty, rich in sweet citrus flavour notes #cacao beans from wild Semuliki Forest in Uganda. 🌴 The result is a very potent drink, with reminiscence of citrus and something sweet, gooey and chocolatey. We made only a hundred and since it is a favourite of ours right now, we recommend trying it before it's all gone. Can be found at cosy @finca.cacao and online at www.flowcacao.com 💚

❔ What if...❔
Chocolate bars are complicated, time consuming, expensive to make, and often underappreciated 🍫🥲 What if we made a bet on cacao drinks instead? Don’t get me wrong: I love chocolate bars dearly! But with the craft chocolate community struggling to make ends meet and many bean-to-bar brands closing down, chocolate bars can’t be the solution to make things better in these tough times. Something new and revolutionary has to come along. Let’s make a brief SWOT analysis of cacao drinks: STRENGTHS/ OPPORTUNITIES 🌦 no seasonality: cacao drinks can be made hot or cold, adapting to any season without the forced long summer break that chocolate bars have to go through. 📦 easy stocking and shipping: the products for cacao drinks don’t have to look shiny, stay in temper or avoid breakage, as they will be melt away regardless of their initial appearance. 🍬 no “candy” stigma: while chocolate bars are attached to feelings of guilt and indulgence, pure cacao doesn’t carry any of those prejudices yet. Also, cacao drinks can be customized, making consumers in control of all the ingredients. 📢 a new audience: those who don’t eat chocolate bars might enjoy cacao drinks instead, something that coffee or tea drinkers can add to their list of beverages. WEAKNESSES/ THREATS ☕️ no cacao-drinking traditions: in Western countries, where most chocolate bars are sold, there is no long history of consuming cacao in a liquid form (unless it’s a sumptuous and sugary hot chocolate for rare occasions). It will be hard to convince consumers to create new daily habits surrounding cacao drinking. 🔪 lack of preparation skills: linked to the lack of a cacao-drinking tradition, consumers will need to learn how to prepare cacao drinks at home with the right products, tools and recipes. 👅 challenging taste: the flavor of cacao is not the same as the flavor of chocolate bars, even in their darkest percentages. The wild and bold taste of cacao might not meet everybody’s palate like chocolate does. 🌐 availability problems: while chocolate bars can be found anywhere at any time, cacao products (powder, paste, blocks) are more difficult to source for the end consumers. Thoughts? 👇🏼

💡 Did you know that cacao beans are a magic super bomb of magnesium, antioxidants, protein and fibre? Those small nut-looking delicious bites are best used while hiking, skiing, snowboarding, biking or at any time some extra gentle energy boost is needed ⛷️🚵🏄🏽 💡Other suggestion for snacking on cacao beans: at these times of the day when we feel that our mood or energy is not at its highest. Plus they are crunchy, and it is proven that anything crunchy improves the mood! 😇 We wish you a day of joy and good #healthy snacks, friends! #magnesiumrich #cacaomagic #healthyliving #snacksmart #nutrition #wellness #healthandwellbeing

What we love most is making real chocolate. What we love next is sharing the love for good cacao and chocolate with as many people as possible. We believe in the goodness of cacao beans and the amazing things they do for our body, mind and spirit wellness. That's why we want more and more people to experience those benefits (and the deliciousness too). We've curated a few more ways for that to happen: 📌 Cacao Break - for events, conferences and business meetings. Moreover - a cacao break for the office. To pause and gather with like-minded colleagues over a cup of cacao has many benefits. Yes, the cacao brings energy to the body and the mind but even more important than that - it improves cognitive function, and the moment pause + social interaction can boost creative ideas and decisions. 📌Hot Chocolate for more and more Coffee Shops! It's a mission of ours to have the option for a warm cup of real chocolate at every corner of our favourite city. 📌 Chocolate catering for events & celebrations. If you know someone who is keen on good taste and quality and would like to partner with us, we'd be grateful if you share this post. 🌟 For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/dtpdngTq https://lnkd.in/d52VStkb We wish everyone a day of warmth, gentleness and joy 🌞💖 --------------------------- BG: Във Flow Cacao освен да правим ароматен шоколад, най-обичаме да го споделяме с възможно най-много хора. Вкуса на истинското какао да стигне до всеки, и всички полезни свойства, прекрасния какаов вкус да са част от живота на много от вас. Затова през последните дни, освен церемониално какао забъркахме следните опции за работа с нас: 📌Какаова пауза - за събития, конференции, презентации или защо не за какао почивка в офиса. Когато спрем за момент за чаша какао, не само зареждаме тяло и ум с енергия, ние засилваме когнитивни функции, сближаваме се с колеги, креативност и нови идеи идват точно в тези моменти на пауза. 📌 Истински топъл шоколад за Coffee Shops, пекарни и сладкарници. Наша мисия е, разхождайки се из любимия град, на повече места да можем да пием добър шоколад за пиене. 📌Шоколадов кетъринг за празници и събития Ако познавате някой, който би се интересувал от какаово партньорство ще се радваме да споделите с тях този пост. 🌟 Повече информация: https://lnkd.in/dtpdngTq https://lnkd.in/d52VStkb 🌷 Желаем ден на топлина и радост!
