Chocolate Alchemy × THRUM
The cup comes back around.
A daily Oaxacan drinking cacao shaped by more than twenty years of craft knowledge and one founder’s vision for how cacao can live inside ordinary life.
Choose your THRUMIn 2003, before Chocolate Alchemy existed, John Nanci tasted hand-prepared Oaxacan drinking chocolate at a Pacific Northwest coffee gathering.
That encounter helped send him down the path that became Chocolate Alchemy.
More than twenty years after drinking chocolate helped pull John into cacao, he found himself holding another Oaxacan drinking bean and asking Jasmine if she wanted to run with it. THRUM is what happened next.
Why this cacao
Selected for the cup, all the way back to the bean.
THRUM starts with a washed, unfermented Oaxacan cacao whose full mouthfeel, restrained chocolate, savory nut, and gentle pepper character shine when prepared as a drink.
Chocolate Alchemy has worked with and documented this sourcing line over time. THRUM carries that knowledge into a one-ingredient whole-bean format built for a six-ounce daily cup.
The bridge
What Jasmine brings.
Jasmine’s relationship with cacao grew through years of travel and daily use. THRUM brings that lived relationship together with Chocolate Alchemy’s sourcing, roasting, and craft knowledge.
The result is not a requirement to practice ceremony. It is a rich daily cup for meetings, parenting, conversation, creativity, quiet, and simple pleasure.
