Inspiration & History

Tanzania is one of Africa’s top cocoa producers, and cashews are a key export. This dish combines these rich local ingredients with a hint of nutmeg and coffee, paying tribute to Kilimanjaro’s high-altitude coffee farms.

The deep, earthy bitterness of dark chocolate pairs beautifully with the creamy sweetness of cashews and the warmth of nutmeg and coffee, creating a sophisticated and indulgent bite.
