The Chocolate: This flavor is inspired by by the succulent Guava which grows wild in Hawaii. Guava is known for its unique sweet yet tart flavor--so ono!

Each bar is crafted in Oahu from ethically sourced cacao and the highest quality ingredients.  Shar Tuiasoa of Punky Aloha Studio is the talented local artist behind the cover illustration.

The Story of Guava:  Guava was introduced to Hawai‘i during initial Western contact in the 1700s. It has spread rapidly and is now considered the Hawaiian islands’ most prolific wild fruit. Guava’s flavor is uniquely tart and sweet, commonly described as a hybrid between a strawberry and a pear. In Hawai‘i the fruit is predominately consumed fresh, in the form of juice, and in jellies and jams.

The Story of Cacao: Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. with a climate appropriate for cultivating the tropical fruit tree The Cacao Bean to Bar is a movement in the chocolate industry where the finest quality dried beans are crafted into chocolate under one roof.  As well as emphasizing quality over quantity, bean to bar chocolate makers like Manoa are defined by direct trade with cacao farms across the world, paying socially responsible prices.
