Our mission: discover and preserve cacao.
Pure cacao has long lived in the shadow of coffee and tea. With Moruga, we want to discover and preserve the diversity of exceptional cacao varieties while focusing on sustainability and transparency throughout our supply chain.
The first cup in Moruga
Moruga is the name of a small village in Trinidad and Tobago. The first truly pure cacao our founder Jonas ever drank came from Moruga. A friend's family lives there and prepared the cacao for him. Jonas was so excited by the experience that he decided to share the pleasure of pure cacao with the world and set out on a journey of discovery.
Born and melted in Berlin
Jonas always found "normal" chocolate a little boring and, above all, far too sweet. Pure cacao is completely different. So he imported it directly and had the very first Moruga Cacao produced in Berlin. Since then, he has kept searching for new cacao varieties that truly excite him.
The real heroes: the cacao farmers.
Without the love cacao farmers have for their land, all living beings, and of course the cacao itself, we could not bring a single cup to Europe. As one of our first manufacturing partners once told us: "We do not make the chocolate ourselves - we only finish the wonderful work of the cacao farmers."
