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.

Made in a fully vegan, gluten-free facility powered by 100% renewable wind energy.

This past summer, we were proud to host NYC's first craft chocolate poetry night in collaboration with Kaleidoscope Studios in Brooklyn. We paired over a dozen original poems from talented local poets with a curated selection of slowcocoa craft chocolate.

This PDF program is a record of that night. It publishes each poem in full, alongside poet bios and corresponding chocolate pairings. All proceeds from the digital program are going to Urban Word NYC, an incredible organization that empowers marginalized young voices in NYC and beyond through literacy programs, creative writing workshops, and performance opportunities – notably founding the National Youth Poet Laureate Program.

Donations are optional and available on a sliding scale. To contribute an amount other than the preset options, please choose any option and adjust the "quantity" to your desired contribution level. Thank you for your support!

slowcocoa white chocolate with cinnamon is placed on an open book, page 53 of "The Age of Innocence", with pencil highlights and a cinnamon stick at the center binding of the book as though it's a bookmark.

Our cult-favorite 70% dark chocolate-covered mangoes, now with a spicy twist.

Featuring our spice lovers' beloved 70% Pequin chili dark chocolate, the balance of sweet, decadently dehydrated Petacón mangoes with the percolating pop of its spicy overcoat makes for a chili chocolate mango experience any spice lover would sweat for.

Not too hot, and just hot enough.

Just how we like it.

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.
