Rózsavölgyi was founded by Katalin Csiszár and Zsolt Szabad, and the company was established in 2008. The founders became interested in making chocolate directly from cacao beans at a time when the bean-to-bar movement was still developing in Hungary.

Their approach brings together three things:

Bean-to-bar production: They process cacao beans themselves, from roasting and grinding to refining and making the finished chocolate.
Cacao provenance: They work with beans from different producing countries and seek to preserve the individual character of each origin.
Art and design: Their packaging draws on traditional Hungarian shapes and patterns, reinterpreted with a contemporary aesthetic.

The company describes a process that includes carefully roasting the beans, removing their shells, grinding the cacao and refining the chocolate for hours.They also say they don't add vanilla to its plain chocolates, allowing the cacao's own aromas to come through more clearly.

That matters because in specialty chocolate, the bean itself is only part of the story. Fermentation, drying, roasting and refining all influence what you taste in the final bar.

The company has also received silver and bronze awards from the Academy of Chocolate for its chocolates and packaging in previous years. Please feel free to see this beautiful video about Rózsavölgyi

What We Found Out about this amazing region:

This is a particularly special origin in the world of fine chocolate. One of our founders, Maria Esther Thome-Lopez, grew up on Aragua Estate in Venezuela and has visited Chuao many times. As a Venezuelan, discovering unique chocolate bars made with cacao from her home country is always a source of both pride and happiness.

Chuao is a small coastal village in Aragua state, on Venezuela's Caribbean coast. It sits in a secluded valley between the sea and the mountains, within the landscape of Henri Pittier National Park. Access has traditionally been by boat from the coast, which has helped give the village a strong sense of geographic identity.

The region has a long history of cacao cultivation, dating back centuries. Cacao production is deeply connected to the village's community and cultural heritage.

This bar comes with a traceability certificate issued by La Empresa Campesina de Chuao, the local farming association responsible for selling the community's cacao. The company's certificate identifies its allocated cacao under serial number 2140-03.

TASTING: aromas reminiscent of cacao pulp and tonic water, roasted nuts and hints of licorice, with mild acidity and a smooth melt.

Yes — all of our coffees are free from mold and meet strict quality standards. Mold and ochratoxin A (OTA) can develop in poorly processed or stored coffees, but we take every step to prevent that from happening. Before purchasing any coffee, we evaluate water activity and moisture content to ensure it’s within safe and stable parameters. Once it arrives at our warehouse, we monitor relative humidity and storage conditions carefully to maintain the integrity of each lot.
From sourcing to roasting, our focus is on quality and freshness — so you can enjoy every cup with confidence.

From dedicated farmers across the world’s most expressive regions — each coffee reflects its origin, soil, and the people behind it.

We partner with producers who share our values: respect for their land, transparency, and craft. Every coffee has a story, not just a score.

Some are certified organic, although we are not an organic certified roastery. However, all our coffees are sustainably grown. We prioritize farms that care for soil health and community impact.

Yes — always. We roast in small batches so your coffee arrives fresh and vibrant every time.

Keep it sealed, cool, and dry — away from heat, moisture, and light. An airtight container keeps freshness alive.

Enjoy within 4–6 weeks of roasting for peak flavor. After that, it’s still great, just a little softer on aroma.

Fine for espresso, medium for drip or pour-over, coarse for French press or cold brew. The right grind brings balance and sweetness.

Absolutely — our coffees are crafted to shine in any brew method.

Usually within 1–2 business days after roasting. You’ll get tracking once it’s shipped.

Yes! We host tastings and events regularly. Follow us for dates and details.

We offer a curated selection of loose-leaf and bagged teas — from classic black and green teas to herbal and botanical blends. Each one is chosen for balance, clarity, and character.

All true teas come from the same plant — Camellia sinensis. The difference lies in how the leaves are processed:
Black tea is fully oxidized for a rich, bold flavor.
Green tea is lightly processed to keep its fresh, grassy notes.
Herbal tea (technically a “tisane”) is made from herbs, flowers, or fruits — naturally caffeine-free.

Yes, most black and green teas naturally contain caffeine. Herbal blends/Botanicals are caffeine-free.

Use fresh, hot water and steep according to the tea type:

Black tea: 3–5 min at ~95 °C
Green tea: 2–3 min at ~80 °C
Herbal tea: 5–7 min at ~100 °C
Adjust to taste — shorter steeps for lighter cups, longer for more strength.

Keep tea in a cool, dry place, away from light, air, and strong odors. Airtight containers preserve freshness and aroma longer.

Properly stored tea can last a long time. Green teas are best enjoyed within a year, while black and herbal teas can stay vibrant for up to two years.

Absolutely. Our teas brew beautifully over ice or as cold infusions. Just double the leaf amount or steep longer to keep flavor balanced.

Bean-to-bar is chocolate made by small, independent makers who handle the process from the cacao bean all the way to the finished bar. It’s a craft approach that celebrates quality, flavor, and individuality.

No — we don’t roast or process cacao. At Coffee Flock, we curate and resell the best bean-to-bar chocolates from producers we genuinely admire for their craftsmanship and transparency.

We select makers who focus on exceptional flavor, consistency, and care in every step of their process. Each bar we carry is chosen for its distinct character and quality — the kind of chocolate we truly love to share.

It’s about attention and intention. Bean-to-bar chocolate is made in smaller batches, with more control over the ingredients and flavor — resulting in chocolate that actually tells a story.

Keep it in a cool, dry place (around 16–20 °C), away from sunlight and strong odors. No fridge needed — just somewhere calm and dry.

Absolutely. The deeper notes in our coffees complement the natural flavors of bean-to-bar chocolate — try pairing them to discover new layers of taste.

Try a robust black tea like Assam or Yunnan, which match dark chocolate’s depth and richness. For something softer, a toasty oolong or smoky lapsang souchong balances the bitterness beautifully.
