{"product_id":"thriving-tanzania","title":"Thriving Tanzania — Silky Pure 100% Ceremonial Cacao for Focus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the smoothest cup Ora makes, and the reason is physical rather than poetic: cacao from the Kilombero Valley carries more cacao butter than average, so it emulsifies into something closer to silk than to a hot drink. If gritty cacao has put you off before, start here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven hundred certified organic family farms, most of them half an acre to two acres, grow it between rice and banana crops on the edge of Udzungwa Mountains National Park.

Boiling water scorches cacao and turns it bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhisk it properly. Thirty seconds with a hand frother or a small whisk is the difference between a smooth, emulsified cup and a gritty one. There is no sugar in the bag, so add honey, a pinch of salt or chili if you want — it needs none of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart below the full serving for your first few cups and work upward.
