Cocoa-forward — warm toast, raisin and a long bittersweet finish.
single-origin, gilded in gold
Single-origin chocolate from Ghana, Madagascar, Ecuador. Gift hampers, corporate gifting.
We buy beans estate by estate and ferment, roast and conche each origin on its own profile. Here is what is on the tasting bench this harvest.
Cocoa-forward — warm toast, raisin and a long bittersweet finish.
Bright and fruit-forward — red berries, citrus zest, a glossy snap-clean break.
Dark and floral — jasmine and roasted hazelnut, almost no sugar to hide behind.
Wet-fermented — bright plum, dried fig and a soft cherry-cream lift.
Rounded and nutty — toasted almond, caramel and a whisper of clove.
Pale white cacao — honey, banana bread and a clean, mellow finish.
Let a square melt on the tongue rather than chewing it. As the cocoa butter releases, the notes arrive in waves — these are the ones to chase.
A clean, glassy break tells you the temper is right and the bar is fresh.
The bright arrivals — red berry, citrus zest, a lift of fresh fruit.
The deep cocoa core — toast, raisin, roasted nut, warm and bittersweet.
Jasmine and orange-blossom that hover above the higher-percentage bars.
How long the flavour lingers — the great origins hold for a full minute.
Silken and slow-melting, never waxy — the mark of a long stone conche.
Foil-stamped hampers for the occasions that matter. Every box ships with a handwritten note and a pairing card tucked inside the lid.
Six festive single-origin bars, a brass-stamped lid, and a handwritten note.
All four origins side by side with a printed pairing card — the connoisseur's gift.
Twelve bars, cocoa nibs, drinking chocolate and a ribbon-tied keepsake tin.
Bean-to-bar makers since 2019. We work directly with cocoa cooperatives in Ghana, Madagascar, and Ecuador.
