{"title":"Vegan Chocolate Truffles","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome, fellow chocolate lover. Our vegan chocolate truffles are small, soft things — a thin organic dark chocolate shell that gives way to a slow, velvety ganache made with coconut cream and fine-cacao paste. Each one is hand-rolled in our Richmond, California chocolate house from the same heirloom beans we use in our bars, the kind we know by farm and by family. The texture is melt-on-the-tongue tender; the finish is long and bittersweet. Quietly, every truffle in this collection happens to be dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and made without refined sugar — but that is the proof, not the pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow our truffles are made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start with single-origin organic cacao, gently warm it with coconut cream and unrefined coconut sugar, fold in the flavoring of the moment — Counter Culture espresso, fresh rose, Meyer lemon zest, Himalayan salted caramel — and let it set overnight. The next morning the ganache is hand-scooped, hand-rolled, and enrobed in a thin shell of 70% dark, then finished with a soft dusting of cacao or a touch of edible petal. Small batches. Slow hands. No emulsifiers, no soy lecithin, no shortcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCacao origins\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery truffle in this collection traces back to farms we know by name. Our Berkeley and After Dark truffles lean on heirloom beans from Ecuador and the Dominican Republic; the espresso truffles meet Counter Culture's single-origin coffee for a slow morning kind of bittersweet. Fair Trade, organic, regenerative — these are the standards we hold our growers to and ourselves to, every season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePairings \u0026amp; occasions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dark-chocolate-truffle\"\u003eAfter Dark truffles\u003c\/a\u003e with an espresso at the end of a long dinner.

Nine matcha fudge bites in a keepsake box — the format we settled on after two years of tinkering. If you already love matcha for its grassy first note and long umami finish, these matcha truffles carry that same character into cacao instead of dairy. There is no cream, no butter, no lecithin. Cacao butter and coconut butter carry the fat. Coconut sugar carries the sweetness. Matcha carries everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single truffle is roughly two bites — thumb-sized, dusted, the green pulled slightly darker where the cacao butter has bloomed against the powder. We portion 9 per box because that is what fits neatly in the tea ritual: three for you, three for a friend, three for the tin on the counter. Ships flat-rate from Berkeley, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes these vegan matcha truffles different — the Mizuba partnership\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCeremonial-grade shade-grown from Uji, Japan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not source matcha through a broker. Every kilo of green tea in these matcha chocolate truffles comes from \u003cstrong\u003eMizuba Tea Company\u003c\/strong\u003e, a small Portland-based importer working directly with a family-run tea garden in the \u003cstrong\u003eUji region of Kyoto, Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e. Uji is the origin story for Japanese green tea — a river valley south of Kyoto that has grown tea since the 12th century, where the fog off the Uji River still shades the fields at dawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat lands in our Berkeley kitchen is \u003cstrong\u003eceremonial-grade shade-grown matcha\u003c\/strong\u003e: leaves grown under bamboo screens for the final three weeks before harvest, hand-picked, steamed, dried, deveined, then stone-milled into a powder so fine it feels like talc between the fingers. Shade-growing is the whole game. Denied direct sun, the tea plant floods its leaves with chlorophyll and L-theanine — the amino acid responsible for matcha's savory, almost broth-like umami. Sun-grown culinary matcha lacks both. The colour is duller, the finish is bitter, the umami is thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can taste that difference the moment a Mizuba truffle warms on the tongue. The green comes forward first — grassy, wet-stone, almost oceanic — then the cacao meets it in the middle. There is no artificial green flavour on the label because none is needed. There is also no milk powder to mute the tea, no soy lecithin to slip between the fat and the water. This is the closest we know how to get to eating matcha powder itself, only slower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNine hand-rolled fudge bites\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerkeley small-batch means we make these matcha truffles in runs of roughly 200 boxes at a time, roll them the same week they ship, and never sit on matcha inventory.

It is why the green fades to army-drab and the flavour tastes vaguely of spinach and confectioner's sugar. We use ceremonial-grade because our matcha truffles have nowhere to hide — no dairy, no filler, no whipped topping. If the matcha is not good enough to drink, it is not good enough to fold into cacao butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to enjoy — pairings, gifting, storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cup of genmaicha or sencha with one truffle is the intended experience — the toasted rice of a genmaicha meets the caramel in the coconut sugar, the sencha echoes the matcha in the fudge.

That is about a third of a cup of green tea, or a quarter of a shot of espresso.
