Satisfy your Sweet Tooth with Treehouse Chocolate!

Portland Pedal Power is partnering with Treehouse Chocolate! As a chocolate fiend myself, I’m always looking for that unique take on the classic dessert, and this place obviously knows its way around cacao!

Founded by surfer, sailor and bean-to-bar chocolate maker Aaron Koch, Treehouse Chocolate focuses on bringing out the exceptional quality of the cacao through craft. Treehouse Chocolate imports cacao from organic farmer owned cooperatives, roasts in small batches, and melanges in a traditional stone grinder. Because good things are crafted slowly, it takes about three days to make a 50lb batch of chocolate. All of the chocolate is made locally by hand, from ethically sourced cacao.

Aaron has been inspired to do a lot of crazy things during his life. After spending his childhood in Singapore, he decided to cross the Pacific and find a place in Portland. His curiousity led him to sail a boat through pirate territory in the Celebes Sea, a boat that later got struck by lightning. But the greatest thing curiosity guided him to do was work on the cacao farms of Hawaii.

There, Aaron dug his hands into the dirt and discovered a lifelong passion. In the tiny treehouse he called home, an idea formed: a chocolate company that does justice to the craft and spirit of cacao farming. That uses only premium organic cacao, sustainably sourced direct from the farmers. Treehouse forgoes unhealthy substitutes in favor of simple, natural deliciousness.
