🧧🐎 🧨🎊🍫
YEAR OF THE HORSE
In celebration of the Year of the Horse, we collaborated with Olivia from to bring you this special chocolate bar made with pineapple biscuits and Taiwanese Maqaw pepper. Crunchy pieces of Pineapple biscuit, crafted with Olivia’s house-made pineapple jam, are sprinkled into this 55% dark milk chocolate made with cacao from Tupi, in the southern Philippines.
The chocolate is stone ground for 24 hours and infused with Maqaw (馬告), also known as Taiwan mountain pepper, a rare and cherished Indigenous spice with bright notes of lemongrass, ginger, and citrus, giving the chocolate a lively, layered aroma and, being the Year of Horse, finishing with a little bit of kick!
The beautiful artwork was created by our friend and Vancouver-based artist Ann Liao (). The calligraphy roughly translates to: “Leading the way like a galloping horse, spring arrives;
Soaring freely like a heavenly steed, blessings follow.” was written by Ann’s mom, Auntie Liao in Taiwan.
This bar is available in our workshop on , on our webshop and will be available tomorrow in Toronto at we will be slinging chocolate at booth 2 - see you there!
To all our friends, old and new may your year be filled with good health and many blessings!
