A slow conversation with cacao.
Slow-melted, fair-trade, hand-crafted in Richmond, California since 2008 — made for the chocolate-obsessed. Begin with our Dubai Bar, a velvety milk chocolate threaded with pistachio cream and toasted kataifi.
Three gentle doorways into the chocolate.
Eight pieces our regulars keep coming back to.
Pulled from the last quarter of reorders — softly ranked by the people who eat the chocolate, not by us.

Eighteen years, one cooperative, one quiet promise.
Every bar begins with cacao from the Acopagro cooperative in Peru's Huallaga Valley — a partnership we have nurtured, by name, since 2008. We pay above fair-trade, we visit, and we know the farmers' children.
The chocolate is stone-ground in small batches in Richmond, California, by hands that share in the company they work for. We are employee-owned. We are Certified Climate Neutral. And we are quietly proud that none of this changed when it stopped being trendy.
The cup before the day begins.
Five minutes, a small saucepan, and a slow stir. Our drinking chocolate is built for ceremony — pure ground cacao, the way it has been served for centuries.
- Spoon two scoops into warmed plant milk
- Stir slowly until the cacao melts into the cup
- Sit by a window. Do not check your phone.
Letters we keep tucked in the drawer.
I cried actual tears of joy. After thirteen years of skipping the dessert tray at family dinners, my daughter and I finally have a bar we both can eat — and it tastes like the chocolate I remember from before everything was a label.
I was raised on European chocolate and gave up on the vegan ones years ago. The Black Magic 90% changed my mind in one square. Velvety, slow, a little smoky. I now keep two bars in the drawer at all times.
I make the drinking chocolate every Sunday morning. It has become a kind of small ceremony in our house — the kettle, the whisk, the cup. My husband, who does not normally notice such things, has started asking for it by name.
