'Tis the season.

Introducing a mindful take on the classic Chanukah treat. Our bestselling 49% dark+oatmilk chocolate – four ingredients only, refined sugar-free, rich & creamy, almost like a “bittersweet”, but not at all bitter and far from too sweet – slowly hand-poured into individual gelt coins, then lovingly coated in 24-karat edible gold leaf.

Rest assured: this gold is real. Like all material luxuries, it passes through the human system with no lasting impact whatsoever, imparting only the initial dazzle and thrill of its own consumption.

The chocolate, however, may linger. We crafted it as an invitation to pause, amidst a holiday and time of year so richly immersed in the insatiable lure of consumerism.

We hope these golden-coated chocolate coins may remind us of a universal currency we each carry: the sweetness of a single moment, unfolding like chocolate, melting and melding from breath to breath.

Slow nibbles suggested, up to 8 seconds per bite.

PISA, or Produits Des Iles SA, is at the forefront of transforming the cacao processing and export landscape in Haiti. Before PISA stepped in, the norm in Haiti was for large exporters to buy unfermented, dried, low-grade cocoa from smallholder farmers at prices that didn't meet even the commodity market standards. This all changed in 2013, when PISA introduced the first centralized processing facility of its kind in Haiti. Learn more here.

Chocolate-covered blueberry?

But with no actual blueberries? And no flavors, extracts, lecithins/emulsifiers, milk fat, extra cocoa butter...

That's right: only two ingredients, plus the light drizzle of pink Himalayan salt.

(Prefer unsalted? Try our classic 70% PISA.)

The beauty of this bar is in the delay. The longer we let the chocolate slowly melt, the more the flavors s l o wly unfold.

If this marks your first intro to craft chocolate, prepare to be shocked by the power of fine-flavor cacao. And if you're a craft chocolate veteran, consider this bar a bright (dare we say, fruitful) addition to any chocolate lover's growing collection.

Organic Haitian cacao, organic cane sugar, Himalayan pink salt.

Through thick and thick, warm and cold, frigid to frantic, restless to listless, hopeful to cup-full. . . tea is there for us.

Now chocolate is here, too, with tea.

More specifically, the chocolate is the tea.

Made from a house-blend of freshly & delicately-roasted husks from our single-origin Haitian and Guatemalan cacao beans, chocolate tea is unlike any other beverage in our teabag-box basket. (Don't know about you, but we love a basket brimming with teaboxes.)

It shares a consistency with other herbal teas, so is not to be confused with the more familiar beverage of eternal youth and holiday cheer that goes by the deceptively similar descriptor, "hot chocolate".

Chocolate tea is hot, all right; it is hot and it is chocolate. But hot chocolate it is not.

It's light and airy, naturally sweet and rustic, with a deep, chocolatey aroma that lifts our spirit any time of day.  Its sips and smells are calming, even as they remind us that energy is sometimes a choice as much as a daily inheritance from the sun, snow, clouds, snacks and sips that surround us.

We like to sip slowly, yes; and also breathe in deeply – there is something healing in these husks.

Lovingly packaged in fully compostable resealable pouches. Each bag prepares 16-20 servings, pending the strength of your brew. Tea is low-caffeine and high-theobromine: a combination often reported by fans to bring a calm, focus-boosting effect ripe for gratitude.

Single-origin, organic Dominican cacao husks.

Roasted in-house using 100% wind energy.

You've tasted white chocolate, but have you flown atop the oat clouds on a carbon-neutral ferry? Now accessible via public transit, the white chocolate skies take on a new creamy definition in our latest 3-ingredient bar.

Yes, this chocolate is real.

What makes it so different? Oh, so much – or, we might say, so little: with only three ingredients and optional cinnamon drizzle, we let the unprocessed, natural Dominican-origin cacao butter carry the the flavor and texture. No sugar as the first ingredient, or a whole paragraph of fluff in parentheses and lecithins, emulsifiers, corn syrup, or other 'stuff', amounting to that well-known sugary high that screams 'candy!' more than craft.

Fun fact: our white chocolate includes roughly as much sugar as our 70% dark bars. (That's about 6g per serving, or 12g per bar. . . but who's counting? We're still in the clouds :)

From the Dominican Republic to NYC, to the clouds of oat, to you.

Safe landing not included.
