Welcome to Yamipa Chocolate – where sip of chocolate carries the essence of Costa Rican heritage and the warmth of family. Our name, "Yámĩpa," is a tribute to the Bribri tribe in Talamanca, Costa Rica. It's more than just a name; it's a symbol of family, tradition, and the rich tapestry of our indigenous roots.
About Us
About the Name:
In the Bribri language, "Yámĩpa" means "family," a word that resonates with the heart of our artisanal chocolate-making journey. Pronounced as "YAH-MEE-pah," it captures the soulful connection between the Bribri people, their ancestral cacao traditions, and the joy of sharing it with you.
Discover Our Story:
Our journey begins deep within the rainforests of Costa Rica, where we source the finest cacao beans nature has to offer. With utmost respect for our tribal heritage, we handpick these beans, preserving their purity with fibers and natural oils still intact. This unique process infuses our chocolate with a smoky richness that sets it apart.
A Taste of Tradition and Love:
Our chocolate balls are pure, with the fibers and natural oils of the cacao still present, ensuring a unique and authentic taste. They are sun-dried and slow-roasted over an open wood fire, preserving their natural richness. Once perfected, they are husked and ground into a velvety paste, maintaining the cacao's pure essence.
Best Tasting Hot Chocolate:
Our 100% Pure Cacao Chocolate Balls are not just a delicious treat on their own; they are the secret to crafting the best-tasting hot chocolate you've ever experienced. Simply melt one of our balls into hot milk, and you'll be transported to the heart of Costa Rica, savoring the rich flavors of tradition and family.
Unique and Handcrafted:
Our commitment to craftsmanship means that each package of our chocolate balls is a unique work of art. You'll find four delectable balls inside, each with its own character and weight. It's a reminder that these chocolates are not just a treat; they're a testament to the hands that crafted them and the family we cherish.
