BARADA CHOCOLATE

Khaled Shbib founded BARADA Chocolate, a Phuket-based craft chocolate brand celebrated for its single-origin Thai cacao and innovative, sustainable practices. With 18 years of meticulous chocolate-making experience, he has perfected recipes that highlight the unique terroir of Thailand’s cacao while honoring traditional techniques.

A staunch advocate for ethical sourcing, Khaled works directly with small holder farmers in Thailand, ensuring fair wages, organic farming methods, and zero deforestation. His mission: "From bean to bar to brew, every step should respect farmers, nourish communities, and delight discerning palates."

As proud members of ESTA, BARADA are thrilled to introduce the cacao husk tea, a groundbreaking upcycled product that exemplifies their commitment to zero-waste production, turning byproducts into luxurious, healthful infusions. Made from carefully roasted husks of our premium Thai cacao beans, it is an infusion that brings chocolate's health benefits to your teacup.

While their award-winning chocolate bars showcase cacao's richness, the husks offer their own nutritional benefits. This innovative brew delivers the authentic, comforting essence of dark chocolate, a powerhouse of natural antioxidants, essential minerals including magnesium – at just 5 calories per cup.

Naturally chocolatey with notes of roasted nuts and caramel, no added flavors or sweeteners, pure, authentic taste and smooth finish without bitterness, it delivers a tea experience unlike any other.

"Steep like tea, enjoy like chocolate, benefit like a superfood."
