A success story running since 1878

Seen as a pioneer and an expert in coconut-based charcoal, Tom Cococha draws on more than 30 years of know-how in high-quality coconut briquettes. The company has always adapted to its customers and to the environment alike, which is how it has lasted in its field.

After considerable success in the barbecue market, Tom Cococha developed a specific range of coconut briquettes for shishas and water pipes. The advantages are numerous, the company says: coconut burns more intensely, with a higher calorific value, while producing very little ash.
