Manoa Chocolate X Punky Aloha

For the Chocolate Lovers

Did you know Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. that can grow cacao commercially due to our tropical climate?

We are giving you the inside scoops of one of our favorite chocolate companies right here in Kailua.

The company had humble beginnings starting during their college years and today they are one of the largest craft chocolate makers in the US!

Chocolate Tasting Room?

Why yes! Manoa Chocolate Company has their own tasting room and tour. You can pick your date and time here. Or you can just drop in for their walk-in tastings.

Classic Waves Pick

Lilikoi and Passion Fruit from Manoa Chocolate is one of our favorites. This is from their Flavors of Hawaii Collection. They source single origin cacao from across the Hawaiian Islands and around the globe. Their goal? To bring out the best in each bean!

Local Artist Punky Aloha

Punky Aloha Studio is the design and illustration studio of Shar Tuiasoa. Based in Kailua Town, Shar’s signature style is bold and eye catching with mid century modern influences. Shar teamed up with Manoa Chocolate to put her touch on their chocolate sleeves for the Flavors of Hawaii Collection.

I’m a POW WOW Hawaii fan and love to check out the new murals in Kaka’ako every year. Little did I know, Punky Aloha did this cool funky mural that I snapped many many moons ago. The vibrant colors just put you in a great mood!

Scavenger Hunt

Hidden in Kailua is another original work of art by Punky Aloha. Google around to find the hidden treasure. We can’t wait for you to discover it!

You can follow her @punkyaloha or check out www.punkyaloha.com to see more of her designs.

Mahalo and hope you get a chance to taste and see the cool things in Kailua.

Live your best colorful life! xoxo
