Brand Tone

Consciously Crafted & Joyfully Shared. It's a blend of deep respect for the ingredients and makers with an open, enthusiastic desire to share their unique chocolate creations.

Brand Values

• •Transparency: Openly sharing information about their sourcing, pricing, and process ("Transparent Trade" is a core tenet).
• •Ethical Sourcing: Commitment to fair partnerships with cacao farmers, ensuring fair wages and sustainable practices.
• •Quality & Craftsmanship: Dedication to making high-quality chocolate from bean to bar, focusing on preserving the natural flavors of cacao through their unroasted method.
• •Innovation: Constantly exploring new flavors, ingredients, and techniques while staying true to their core process.
• •Integrity: Using high-quality, often organic, ingredients and maintaining commitments to being vegan (largely), gluten-free, and soy-free.
• •Education: Helping consumers understand the journey of chocolate and the nuances of flavor.
• •Community: Building relationships with both their suppliers and their customers.

Best Practices

• •Lead with Transparency: Always be open about your sourcing, ingredients, and processes. Make "Transparent Trade" a recurring theme, not just a static page on your website. Show, don't just tell.
• •Celebrate the Origin & Makers: Regularly feature the stories of your cacao origins and the farmers you work with. This reinforces ethical values and adds a human element.
• •Educate with Enthusiasm: Explain the "why" behind unroasted chocolate and unique flavor pairings in an accessible and exciting way. Share your passion for discovery.
• •Use Vivid, Sensory Language: Describe flavors and textures in a way that makes mouths water. Focus on the "bright," "vibrant," "fruity," and "complex" notes that set your chocolate apart.
• •Maintain Visual Harmony: Ensure your photography and videography reflect the artisanal quality, natural ingredients, and vibrant character of your brand. Keep it clean, appealing, and authentic.
