chuk-what?
CHUKWA is an indulgent and all-natural cocoa husk infusion. CHUKWA sources all cocoa husks from premium Belgian bean-to-bar chocolatiers, ensuring top quality.
Discovered by the ancient Mayas, cocoa husk drinks have been part of century-old spiritual ceremonies for their uplifting and nourishing effects. In Mayan, chocolate translates to ‘chukwa’.
Cocoa husks are packed with vitamins (such as B, C and E) and minerals (such as calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium). They also contain large amounts of antioxidants.
Cocoa husks boost your mood thanks to the neuro- transmitter anandamide, which calms down the nervous system and generates happy feelings (and cocoa husks do more of that than chocolate!).
CHUKWA tastes and smells like dark chocolate, but contains no sugar or calories. Also, no nasties: no additives, preservatives or artificial flavorings.
Naturally caffeine-free, CHUKWA is a comforting alternative to coffee. Cocoa husks do contain theobromine, a mild stimulant that gives the body a gentle boost.
CHUKWA is a waste-reducing product. Cocoa husks, the ‘shells’ of cocoa beans, are the principal by-product of the chocolate industry.
All sourcing, production and packaging is done in Brussels, so CHUKWA is local and kilometer-free. Our products are also small-batch and single-origin.
