Discover the Origins of Handmade Bali Chocolate
Tebasari’s chocolate journey begins in its very own cacao plantation. The cacao trees are grown using sustainable and organic practices, without synthetic fertilizers or harmful pesticides. This ensures that the cacao beans develop rich, clean flavors that truly represent the volcanic soil and tropical climate of Bali.
Unlike industrial chocolate, which is often mass-produced and heavily processed, handmade Bali chocolate at Tebasari is crafted in small batches, allowing the natural characteristics of each cacao bean to shine through.
Step Inside the Artisan Chocolate Kitchen

Skilled chocolatiers roast, grind, and temper the cacao with precision and care. Every step is done manually, from hand-pouring the molds to carefully wrapping each bar.
