Colorado couple makes delicious chocolate from cacao grown on their farm in Cameroon

For Patrick and Mara Tcheunou, Bibamba has been an incredible way to connect their roots in America and Africa. The couple built the business from the ground up. In 2016 they purchased farmland in the Center province of Cameroon and planted cacao, plantain, and coffee seeds. Bibamba's first harvest came in early 2020 when the couple partnered with local artisans in Colorado to learn the craft of chocolate-making and perfected three original recipes for dark chocolate bark. Patrick now leads production in Bibamba's small commercial kitchen in Denver, where they transform beans, plantain, and other all-natural ingredients into delicious, premium chocolate.
