Chocolate Tasting Journey
$45.00 (30 pieces)
Take a journey to Peru, Madagascar, Bolivia, Tanzania, and the Dominican Republic as you taste chocolates made with cacao beans from each of these countries. This set of six tasting pieces from five countries that produce fine quality cacao was inspired by my recent trip to Paris, where I bought a similar collection of chocolates. It’s an ideal way to experience the many different flavor notes that emerge during the process of growing, fermenting, roasting, and transforming cacao beans into chocolate.
- Sample 2-3 different tasting pieces at a time, noticing how the flavors evolve as each chocolate melts in your mouth.
- Try the chocolates in a different order and on different days—your favorite may change each time.
- Invite family and friends to join you for a tasting.
- Pair the chocolates with wine or whisky and see how the flavor experience changes.
- Enjoy snacking on the tasting pieces when you need a chocolate pick-me-up.
For the holidays, the Chocolate Tasting Journey (available soon) will be wrapped in a handmade, festive cloth gift bag. (Let me know in the Order Notes if you would prefer a decorative blue cloth gift bag instead of a Christmas-themed design.)

Flavors of Japan
$50.00
The NY Times recently highlighted the many flavors of Japan making their way into restaurants and home kitchens. Many of these flavors taste especially delicious in chocolate. The Flavors of Japan collection features ceremonial grade matcha tea straight from the fields and factory near Nagoya. The crispy, naturally-colored arare sprinkled on the milk and dark chocolates treats were recently brought back from Kyoto by my neighbor. She also guided me on the best Japanese organic hojicha powder for the bonbons and chocolate bar.
I’ve included a sample of hojicha tea, so you can see for yourself how the taste of tea you drink is transformed into a different experience when paired with chocolate. The collection includes:
- 6-piece box of Matcha, Yuzu Sidecar, and Hojicha Latte bonbons
- Dark chocolate Hojicha Bar
- Box of 10 milk and dark Japan-Inspired Treats
- Sampler bag of hojicha tea (4 servings)
(Let me know in the ORDER NOTES if you want to omit any flavors in the 6-box and/or if you prefer all milk or all dark Japan-Inspired Treats.)

Almonds & Salt Bar
$12.00
Almonds and chocolate are a classic combination, especially when enhanced with a dash of salt. This salt came all the way from the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, dating from the Middle Ages, has 2,000 underground chambers surrounded by walls of rock salt. So of course when I visited the mine I had to bring home a jar of their coarsely-ground salt.
(Note: If you prefer no salt on this bar, let me know in the ORDER NOTES.)

If you don’t want your box to include any mendiants with nuts, let me know in the ORDER NOTES.

Japan-Inspired Treats

Hojicha Bar
$12.00
After creating a milk chocolate bonbon featuring Japanese hojicha tea, I set about developing a dark chocolate bar infused with hojicha as well. For starters, I had to figure out how to incorporate the tea without introducing a gritty texture. Then I experimented with how much hojicha to add so the flavor would stand out without overpowering the chocolate.
Hojicha tastes entirely different from other Japanese green teas, because the leaves are roasted instead of steamed. It has a toasted, nutty flavor and a slight bitterness that becomes more mellow with chocolate. I could eat this bar every day! These will be available beginning October 1st.

Peruvian Gold Bar
$12.00
I couldn’t resist decorating this chocolate bar with 23K edible gold leaf, because it features one of my favorite Valrhona dark chocolates, one that sets the gold standard for chocolate deliciousness. Valrhona makes this single-origin chocolate from rare Gran Blanco white cacao beans that grow in the tropical rainforest of northern Peru. It has a creamy, deep chocolate flavor with tasting notes of sun-ripened blackberries and a hint of roasted peanuts.

The Raspberry Chocolate Bar is hand-painted on one side and finished with a scattering of crisp, tangy dried raspberries on the other.
My newest creation, inspired by a bar I tasted in Lisbon, brings together roasted pistachios, fruity pink peppercorns, and a touch of Himalayan salt—an unexpected pairing that surprises and delights the senses.
