If there’s one thing that brings warmth and comfort to Filipino homes, it’s a steaming cup of tablea chocolate. This rich, velvety drink has been a beloved tradition for generations, enjoyed during breakfast, merienda, or cozy rainy days.
But tablea chocolate isn’t just any hot chocolate—it’s an authentic, no-frills experience made from 100% pure cacao. Unlike commercial cocoa powders packed with sugar and additives, tablea retains the true essence of cacao, giving it a bold, slightly bitter taste that can be adjusted to your liking with milk and sweeteners.
Beyond its irresistible flavor, tablea chocolate carries a deep cultural heritage. It’s been a part of Filipino history since the Spanish colonial period, with families passing down traditional recipes and preparation methods. Today, it remains a staple in many households, connecting people to their roots with every sip.
Not all chocolate is created equal, and tablea chocolate stands in a league of its own. What makes it special? It’s the purest form of chocolate—nothing but 100% cacao molded into solid discs or tablets. No fillers, no preservatives—just rich, unprocessed goodness.
Unlike commercial chocolate mixes, tablea chocolate is made from roasted, ground cacao beans with no added sugar, making it a versatile ingredient. You control the sweetness, intensity, and richness of your drink or dish.
Many tablea chocolate makers still use time-honored techniques, from fermenting and roasting the cacao beans to grinding them into a thick paste before shaping them into discs. This process preserves the authentic flavor of cacao, creating a deep, earthy taste with a satisfying bitterness.
While most people associate tablea chocolate with hot drinks, it’s also a key ingredient in Filipino desserts like champorado (chocolate rice porridge), chocolate-based kakanin (rice cakes), and even gourmet pastries. Some even use it in savory dishes to add depth to sauces and stews.
The beauty of tablea chocolate lies in its simplicity and purity. It’s an ingredient that allows you to experience chocolate in its most natural form.
Beyond its rich, comforting taste, tablea chocolate is packed with health benefits, making it a delicious yet nutritious choice. Because it’s made from pure cacao, it retains all the natural goodness that processed chocolates often strip away.
Cacao is loaded with flavonoids and polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help combat free radicals, support heart health, and reduce inflammation. Drinking tablea chocolate regularly may contribute to better circulation and improved cardiovascular health.
Feeling sluggish or stressed? Tablea chocolate contains theobromine, a natural compound similar to caffeine, which provides a gentle energy boost without the jitters. It also promotes the release of endorphins and serotonin, the body’s “feel-good” chemicals, helping improve mood and reduce stress.
When you choose tablea chocolate, you’re not just indulging in a delicious drink—you’re also supporting local cacao farmers. Many small-scale farmers use traditional, eco-friendly methods, ensuring that every sip of tablea chocolate is both sustainable and ethical.
With its combination of great taste and wellness benefits, tablea chocolate proves that indulgence can be healthy!
