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.

You've tasted white chocolate, but have you flown atop a cloud of oats on a carbon-neutral ferry? Accessible via public transit, the white chocolate skies take on new creamy definition in this category redefining, three-ingredient bar.

Yes, this white chocolate is real chocolate.

What makes it so? Oh, so much – or, we might say, so little: with only three ingredients (plus an 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, or lecithins, emulsifiers, corn syrup, or other 'stuff', amounting to that well-known sugary high that screams 'candy!' more than craft.

We love candy; and there's a time and place for everything! Though candy this thing is not. :)

Fun fact: our white chocolate includes roughly as much sugar per serving (and even slightly less, though by FDA standards we round up to the nearest gram) as a typical 70% dark chocolate.

That's about 6 grams of sugar in half a bar. But who's counting? We're still in the clouds.

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