Siamaya Chocolate: A Deliciously Sustainable Journey

How a Group of Friends Turned Their Passion for Asian Cuisines into an International Chocolate Brand

In 2017, Kristian Levinsen, Neil Ransom, and Miss Mantanan, three friends with a passion for Asian cuisines, decided to embark on a journey to create their own chocolate brand.

What started as a humble venture selling chocolate in local markets in Chiang Mai, Thailand, has now grown into an international chocolate brand known for its unique and delicious flavors. A sweet local success story, indeed.

Siamaya Is Driven by Sweet Passion

Siamaya Chocolate is a testament to the power of passion. The Siamaya team learned every step of chocolate making from scratch, dedicating themselves to improving and perfecting the quality of their chocolate products.

Their dedication to their craft has allowed them to take total control of the chocolate-making process, creating their own base chocolates from locally sourced Thai and Southeast Asian cacao beans.

As we celebrate World Chocolate Day on July 7, 2023, let us take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into creating delicious and sustainable chocolate. Siamaya Chocolate is a shining example of what can be achieved when passion and innovation meet sustainability and social responsibility. So, the next time you indulge in a piece of chocolate, consider choosing a brand that not only satisfies your taste buds but also supports a better and greener world.

Premium Ingredients Make Premium Products

Siamaya Chocolate is committed to making the most delicious and unique chocolate while ensuring that everyone is treated in a way that they can be proud of.

To achieve this, they purchase all-natural and organic cacao beans and natural ingredients directly from farmers and local co-ops.

They pay above market rate to ensure that the farmers can make a living and support sustainability practices so their partners will continue to farm long into the future.

Unique and Unexpected Combinations of Flavors Make Siamaya Shine

As a bean-to-bar chocolate company Siamaya prides itself on infusing the amazing flavors, aromas, and natural products of Thailand into their handcrafted and award-winning chocolate.

One of the most unique aspects of Siamaya Chocolate is their dedication to using local ingredients to create their delicious chocolate bars. 

This commitment to sourcing local ingredients is evident in their dark chocolate options, which are made with ingredients such as Thai coffee, Thai tea, and even Thai chili.

If you love a Crunch bar their Small-Batch Genmai Roasted Rice Milk Chocolate will blow your mind!

For those who walk on the wild side, their Milk Chocolate with Durian is a must-try. Durian, a fruit native to Southeast Asia, is known for its pungent aroma and unique flavor, and Siamaya has managed to incorporate it perfectly into its decadent dark chocolate.

Making Chocolate in a Responsible, Compassionate, and Eco-Friendly Way

Siamaya Chocolate is committed to constantly improving their business activities to achieve the highest standards of environmental sustainability and social inclusion. They use recycled paper, and soya-based inks, and reduce their waste streams to minimize their environmental footprint.

They also use zero plastic in all their packaging without creating waste in the production process, making a huge beneficial commitment to the zero-waste cause.

Siamaya works directly with cocoa farmers in Thailand, paying around 2-2.5 times as much as Fairtrade programs usually pay for the cacao they require pesticide-free farming and a strict no-burning policy to contribute to a better and greener world. 

Additionally, they have a recruitment policy that ensures a balanced workforce, including equal numbers of men and women and diversity in terms of sexual orientation, race, religion, etc. This policy also ensures that their employees are paid fairly and treated with respect.

A Community of Chocolate Lovers

In addition to its unique flavors, Siamaya Chocolate also offers a fun and interactive chocolate workshop where visitors can make their own unique chocolate bars. This experience is perfect for those who want to learn more about the chocolate-making process and create a one-of-a-kind chocolate bar to take home.

Overall, Siamaya Chocolate is a chocolate lover’s dream come true. Their commitment to using premium ingredients, making chocolate in a responsible and eco-friendly way, and promoting social inclusion sets them apart from other chocolate brands.

Their unique and delicious flavors continue to surprise and delight chocolate lovers around the world.

Siamaya Chocolate is not just a brand, but a celebration of passion, innovation, and sustainability.
