Your chocolate is indeed very good, but

Your chocolate is indeed very good, but the price is insane. I like to support the people that provide the real work in the fields rather than a large corp entity, but your prices are far to high to justify repeat purchases.

Thank you Dan for your honest review. We're really pleased to hear that you enjoyed our chocolate. Given your interest in supporting direct trade and supporting farmers, you might be interested to take a look at our first sustainability report, recently published on our blog (https://on.toakchocolate.com/transparency). I can also share with you the news that we are working on launching a new flavor/inclusion line of chocolate which will be available at a more accessible price point. We hope you will come back to give it a try once it has been launched. Warm regards from our team in Ecuador—James.

Dear Eduardo, we are sorry that we were unable to send chocolate to your address in Mexico. Unfortunately we recently experienced several failed shipments (with FedEx) due to Mexican customs returning the chocolate or taking excessively long amounts of time to process the customs clearance. As a result we are no longer able to ship to Mexico. Your order reached us just before we removed Mexico as a shipping destination. We contacted you straight away to see if you had an alternative shipping address and when you told us you didn't, we refunded the full amount of your purchase immediately. We hope the situation improves in the future for shipments to Mexico. Warm regards—James.

Chocolate for the rich

I thought the chocolate was on the small side for 50 dollars but as the saying goes good things come in small packages. The packaging was very exquisite.

Phenomenal. A must have.

Phenomenal. Best chocolate ever. I will be definitely snagging one of these every year. The aged chocolate is so good. There are so many hidden favors. The box and wrapping was exquisite. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Small and lacking flavor

The product was about 1/4 the size I expected it to be. It was nicely packaged, but even when following the instructions experience of eating the chocolate just isn't great. Not much scent and not much flavor when eating. Even letting it melt in my mouth.

Happy Customer

First off, I want to say Toak as awesome customer service. I emailed them because of a problem with the shipping issues and they were so kind and friendly and fixed the issue. Also, the Toak chocolate is something I’ve never tasted before. It is awesome and can tell the difference between them and Hershey’s for example. Last, the packaging and presentation are beautiful. Will defiantly buy from them again when time is right.

The chocolate is not worth the money.

The chocolate was okay so far but I have had better. The cost for nine bites of chocolate was ridiculous and when I made the purchase I didn't realize how small they were. Great advertising however.

Thank you Christy for sharing your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that you were not completely satisfied with your purchase. We do our best to produce chocolate that meets our own quality and ethical standards by sourcing heirloom cacao beans, paying the highest prices in the market to farmers, and elevating the chocolate tasting experience on to the same level as a fine wine. We appreciate that everyone's preferences are different and each one is valid. We thank you very much for giving To'ak a try and send warm regards from our team in Ecuador — Carl

Very disappointing

Very disappointing. I absolutely love artisanal chocolates, and am willing to pay high prices for good quality. However . . . To'ak was really underwhelming and actually had a nasty, moldy taste. The texture was not smooth or silky, was slightly dry and had a bitter aftertaste. The presentation box was very cool. A lot of hype and no delivery.

Dear Dr. Colbert. Thank you for sharing your review. We are sorry to hear that our chocolate fell short of your expectations. The descriptions you offer are very distinct from how our chocolate should be experienced in terms of taste, texture and aftertaste. While the odds are low, there are a number of factors that could lead to the chocolate being spoiled before you tried it. It is also possible that our chocolate is not a match for your palate. I will reach out privately to see if there is any way we can make it up to you. Warm regards from our team in Ecuador — James.

Best chocolate I ever tasted

Best chocolate I ever tasted! And it's just great to know that by buying To'ak I am supporting the farmers that grow the cacao, that they are paid a premium price for their hard work. Also makes for the perfect Xmas gift.

After a couple mishaps with a recent purchase I made, To'ak took extra measures to correct it. They even sent me a card. Wow, what a fine company they are. The reputation and diligence that they maintain is outstanding.
I would do business with them again. By the way, I got my order in and the chocolate is very good. Thank you!
