Ka kā wā 70% blends rich Pacific cacao with Celtic and NZ sea salt with kelp for a bold, umami twist. A true taste of Aotearoa in every bite.
A bold expression of land and ocean, this 70% blend brings together rich Pacific cacao with mineral-rich Celtic and New Zealand sea salt, finished with native kelp for a deep, savoury edge.
The result is a complex, grounding chocolate that moves beyond sweetness — where cacao’s natural bitterness meets a subtle umami lift from the moana. Each bite carries the essence of Aotearoa, evoking salt air, wild coastlines, and the quiet strength of Tangaroa.
Stone-crafted in small batches, this bar honours both tradition and place. The salt enhances the cacao’s depth, while the kelp adds a gentle, earthy richness that lingers on the palate.
A true taste of Aotearoa — where earth and ocean meet in every bite.

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.

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.
