Tava: Naturally Ethical

Tava is moving to brand new premises (soon)!

For the full story, click here

Unfortunately, the limitations caused by our move means that we are currently only able to offer cocoa beans for sale.

Also, some small delays might be experienced, especially with larger orders.

We apologise for any inconvenience, but hope that you'll bear with us. We're certain that the transition will be well worthwhile in the long run.

Regards,
Samantha and Langdon

Organic Agriculture

Cocoa grown without synthetic chemicals is healthier for the consumer, the grower, and the environment.

Nut Free

Our factory premises and all of our products are strictly nut free.
