Startup of the Week - Cocoa Runners

by Startacus Admin
If you’re a chocolate lover, chances are you may already be thinking of all those sweet chocolate treats that you’re planning to consume over the imminent Easter weekend. Of course chocolate can be good at any time of the year, as those of us with a sweet tooth would no doubt attest to!
If you concur, then we reckon our latest Startup of the Week will be your kind of thing…
Cocoa Runners is a startup which is on a mission to “search the world for the finest chocolate, handmade by ‘Bean-to-bar’ chocolate makers” for whom quality is everything. These independent makers source their cocoa beans directly from small farmers and are committed to producing artisan chocolate in small batches and to the highest standards.
And rather than keeping these delicious treats for themselves, the Cocoa Runners team have created a fab club and subscription service so that we can all enjoy them too!
Each month subscribers receive four of these wonderful craft chocolate bars in a letterbox-friendly package, together with detailed taster cards which tell the tales behind the chocolate, the producers and the growers. Some months there may be a focus on a particular theme or to showcase a new development, but one thing’s for sure - the craft chocolate you receive will be like none you’ve tasted before - a true delight for the senses!
What’s more - if there’s a bar that you particularly like, you can order some more from the Cocoa Runners’ library of chocolate.
Being part of the Cocoa Runners club also means that you’ll get access to a whole heap of extras - everything from special offers, personalized recommendations through to invites to tasting events and tours. They’ve got it all covered!
Cocoa Runners - we’re loving your work…
