100% pure cacao · Small batches · Made by hand
What it is
Nothing added, nothing removed
Caorā is 100% pure cacao. Every pod is harvested by hand from small farms in Sri Lanka, then fermented, sun-dried, roasted and stone-ground in small batches. Just the fruit of the tree, treated with care and nothing else.
The story
Where light becomes flavour
In the shaded landscapes of Sri Lanka, cacao grows beneath a filtered sun. Light arrives softened by leaves, lingering longer than the heat of the day. The pods take their time, ripening slowly beneath the canopy until they are ready to be gathered.
For generations, women have carried out the quiet work of gathering, opening, sorting and preparing the cacao. Their hands follow the rhythm of the land, knowing when to reach, when to wait, when a pod is ready.
Caorā is named for that afterlight. Where light becomes flavour, and the hands of the harvest remain in the story.
Small batches
Made slowly. Made small.
Every batch is made entirely by hand. Bean by bean, through eight careful quality checks, so only the finest becomes Caorā.

From Matale to Midigama
Grown in the hills of Matale
Our cacao comes from a small farm in Matale, in the hills of central Sri Lanka. It is harvested by hand, fermented, sun-dried and roasted before it reaches us at the Midigama Fruit Farm, where we finish the process.
How to meet it
Drink it, share it, honour it
Drink it as a ritual, share it in a circle, or fold it into your favourite recipe. However you meet it, make it sacred, honour it.
Where to find it

Caorā is served during events at Senses, and available at the shop in 250g and 500g blocks, at the Midigama Fruit Farm in Midigama, Ahangama, Sri Lanka.
You are the final part of a long ritual
This block passes through many hands before it reaches you. A farmer who tends the tree. The women who open the pods. The wooden boxes where it ferments. The net under the sun where it roasts. The stone that grinds the paste. And now, you. We hope it meets you well.
