DESCRIPTION: 85% Dark Chocolate — Wild. Regenerative. Boldly Smooth. From the dense, rain-soaked jungles where Ecuador and Colombia meet, a rare cacao is born. Here, in the ancestral lands of the Chachis Community, where tropical rivers flow into the Pacific Ocean and humpback whales raise their calves along pristine beaches, grows a cacao unlike any other—regenerative, heirloom, and jungle-infused. This 85% dark chocolate is crafted from cacao that has been safeguarded for generations, thriving in one of the most biodiverse, untouched rainforests on Earth. Despite its high cacao content, it offers a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and a complex flavor profile that is anything but bitter.
TASTING NOTES: Initially, we taste honeysuckle developing into green apple and finishing with a hint of flowers and lemongrass.

Meet the Founders
Born in the Ecuadorian Amazon, two brothers and a sister reunited around 2022 with their German-American sister-in-law to found THRIVU—a regenerative chocolate company rooted in family, forest, and fairness. Inspired by their childhood ‘tribu’ and driven by a dream to restore the land, they keep value at origin, crafting chocolate that helps communities and nature thrive. THRIVU: from tribe, to thrive, to the world.
