Description
In diverse agroforestry systems connected to Reserva Zorzal, a 1,019-acre private bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic, Zorzal cacao is grown by farmers whose commitment to conservation and quality shows up in every harvest. This is single-origin bean-to-bar chocolate at its most uncompromising: no sugar, no additions, nothing standing between you and what responsibly sourced Dominican Republic cacao actually tastes like.
Intense? Yes. Complex in ways that take a moment to understand? Also yes. But this is craft chocolate for the devoted, the curious, and anyone who has ever wondered what cacao really tastes like when you get out of its way. If you know, you know.
Roasted and crafted in small batches in our Bend, Oregon roastery.

Cocoa beans
Seahorse Chocolate joined 1% for the Planet to back up our values with action. Through this membership, we donate one percent of our annual sales to groups working to protect biodiversity and build climate resilience in cocoa landscapes. This commitment gives us the chance to support the people and organizations doing critical on-the-ground work where cocoa is grown.
Cacao is especially well-suited to play a key role in climate and biodiversity solutions. When grown in diverse agroforestry systems, it can support healthy ecosystems, store carbon, retain water, and help protect soil, all while offering a profitable crop for smallholder farmers. These working landscapes are essential to meeting global conservation goals. Through 1% for the Planet, we’re investing in the future of cocoa and the landscapes that make great chocolate possible. We’ll be sharing more soon about the projects we support through our newsletter, so join us here for updates.
