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.) This will be available beginning October 1st.

Hojicha Latte
Price range: $16.00 through $55.00
Even if you’re not a fan of tea, steeping it in cream and mixing the strained cream with chocolate creates an entirely different experience. Hojicha, a Japanese tea with a roasted, nutty taste complements and deepens the rich flavor of chocolate. I experimented with milk and dark chocolate versions, each topped with a thin layer of organic white chocolate and dusted with powdered hojicha. Both are delicious but the mellower milk chocolate bonbon is more reminiscent of an iced Hojicha latte. This will be available beginning October 1st.

Japan-Inspired Bonbons
Price range: $24.00 through $55.00
This set of three bonbon flavors — Matcha, Yuzu Sidecar, and Hojicha Latte — features some of my favorite Japanese ingredients.
I began making Matcha bonbons years ago, when my neighbor brought me ceremonial grade matcha tea from Japan. Yuzu Sidecar bonbons came about after several years of experimenting with various combinations of ingredients to highlight the complex citrus flavors of this popular Japanese fruit. And most recently I created the Hojicha Latte bonbon; this roasted, nutty Japanese tea complements and deepens the rich flavor of chocolate. This will be available beginning October 1st.

Mexican Fiesta
Price range: $14.00 through $45.00
The Mayans and Aztecs were among the first to discover the pleasure of chocolate. They crushed cacao beans to create a drink often mixed with chile peppers and other spices. These milk chocolate bonbons, infused with an organic Spiced Mexican Rooibos tea, celebrate that early history. The tea itself is flavored with Mexican pasilla and ancho chiles, cocoa beans, cinnamon, and saffron, creating a softly spiced, deliciously creamy chocolate.
The Aztecs believed that cacao was a gift from Quetzalcoatl, the god of wisdom. They considered it an aphrodisiac and mood enhancer with mystical powers. Who am I to disagree?

Bergamot
Price range: $16.00 through $55.00
Bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit mostly grown in Italy, is considered to be a hybrid of lemon and sour orange. The oil from the rind (and sometimes the peel) is used to flavor Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas. These bonbons are made with an infusion of herbal, caffeine-free Rooibos Bergamot tea from South Africa, resulting in an elegant, well-rounded, and flavorful milk chocolate.
The tea is imported by MEM TEA, a local company known for the high quality and variety of its teas. Rooibos (pronounced ROY-boss), also called redbush or red tea, is packed with antioxidants and has been shown to have numerous health benefits. Tasting notes for this tea include vanilla, candied lemon, and orange peel.
