Collaborating with Discovery Coffee in Victoria, BC, Sirene combines their Rock Bay Blend with Sirene's single origin Lachua, Guatemala Dark Milk chocolate. The result is a bar distinctly reminiscent of a Mocha. Smooth, rounded, moreish.
While the milk adds a delicious creamy texture, it is the beans that steal the show. Made with cacao from Lachuá, Guatemala, which offers delicious flavours of maple syrup and cream.
In the lush, mountainous region of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala you'll find the indigenous Q'eqchi Maya farmers who grow this magnificent bean. Their heritage, tracing back thousands of years all the way to chocolate's possible origin in the Ancient Mayan civilization, go into the cultivation of these cacao trees. Clearly they have a bit of experience with cacao trees.
Sirene carefully selects farms growing exceptional cacao beans for its craft chocolate factory in Victoria, Canada, where they are sorted, roasted, winnowed, ground, aged and molded by hand.

Lachuá, Guatemala.
Laguna Lachuá is a large pristine cenote lake deemed a national park in 1976 and a Ramsar site in 2006. The “Eco-region Lachuá” around the lake is home to Q’eqchi’ Maya families, many of whom live off grid and rely on production of cacao, honey, cardamom, corn and other crops for their livelihoods.
