A celebration of whenua and moana, this distinctive 70% dark chocolate brings together rich Pacific cacao with hand-harvested Mapoutahi Pā tote and wild karengo, creating a bar that is unmistakably Aotearoa.
The mineral-rich salt enhances the depth and complexity of the cacao, while karengo adds a subtle umami note reminiscent of ocean air, rocky coastlines, and the abundance of the sea. Together, these ingredients create a beautifully balanced chocolate that is both grounding and surprising.
Crafted in small batches in Waitati, Aotearoa, this bar honours the connection between land, sea, and food traditions. Each bite offers a sensory journey through the coastal landscapes that inspire it.

First day of my cycle today and your beautiful chocolate came to my rescue. Because it contains so much wholesome goodness and its so 'Clean', it totally hit the spot on every level, well done!

I'd been holding on to this for sooo long, waiting for the "perfect moment" to come so I could make it and just sit, chill and receive... But when you are a Māma, you just have to do those little things for yourself when you can. It's still a "perfect moment" it just looks a little different.

I absolutely loved my Ka kā wā goodies! From the packaging to the distinct flavour which I found totally moorish, I would highly recommend.

The flavour punch that lingers on my mind.

I had been drinking coffee since I was about 13 years old. As an adult I have been relying on those little boosts that you get from coffee through the day, but I’ve needed several boosts a day once the last one had worn off. A couple of months ago I went cold turkey and replaced coffee with one cup of Ka kā wā in the morning. That’s it! I didn’t have any withdrawals and have not missed coffee at all. I don’t have those highs and lows throughout the day anymore.
