Botanical Collection Box
Introducing our brand new Botanical Collection, three fruit, flower, and herb infused dark chocolate bars to lift your spirits out of the winter and into the spring. For this collection, we recreated two customer favorites, Strawberry Basil and Chamomile Lavender, along with a brand new flavor, Blueberry Lemon.
Strawberry Basil: A juicy, herbaceous mix of Dominican cacao, ripe strawberries, and basil-infused cacao butter that makes you feel like you're frolicking in strawberry fields.
Chamomile Lavender: A creamy and calming infusion of two of our favorite flowers. Bright and fruity cacao cozies right up to chamomile and lavender, bringing out their soothing, gentle sweetness. It’s perfect alongside a mid-afternoon tea or nibbling at night when you’re ready to put your feet up.
Blueberry Lemon: A bar that would be perfect next to a cup of tea. Tangy Tanzanian cacao meets blueberries and lemon for a bright, refreshing dark chocolate. One bite will clear the clouds.

FAQs
What does unroasted mean?
Cacao beans are the seeds of the cacao fruit, harvested and prepared by producers at origin. Every bean has a flavor profile shaped by the soil and climate it grows in, as well as the care each producer takes in cultivating and processing it. This fruity flavor is often roasted away in favor of that classic chocolatey note. We love this fruit-forward flavor, and we make our chocolate without roasting so you can enjoy it too.
Is this chocolate vegan?
You bet. All our bars are 100% vegan. Some dark chocolates still contain milk powder, but ours do not. Instead, we make a couple vegan "milk style" bars with oats and coconut.
What does this chocolate taste like?
Every recipe we make is inspired by the unique flavors of whatever bean we’re working with. If you’re curious about a specific flavor, check out the flavor page and the reviews! If you still need help, feel free to email us.
How do you ship chocolate when it's hot outside?
Don't fret, we check the weather before mailing every order. If it's going to be hotter than 70 degrees, we use insulation and ice packs to ensure you receive your chocolate in perfect condition!
