BY PRE-ORDER ONLY

This product begins shipping the week of October 19th.

This Collection celebrates the pairing of chocolate with three Japanese teas: hojicha, matcha, and genmaicha. Each complements the honeyed, bready aromas of Dandelion Japan’s 70% Kpalimé, Togo chocolate, in three feuilletine-crisped almond pralinés. 

To bring out the full character of each tea variety, our Tokyo team uses two different infusion techniques. To preserve hojicha’s delicate, roasted flavors and matcha’s vivid grassiness, they dry-infuse tea into organic sugar overnight, then blend it into the chocolate praliné. The team grinds and infuses genmaicha into the praliné, then gently warms the mixture to enhance the tea’s deep roasted notes. Each Bonbon is encased in Kpalimé chocolate.

FROM KURAMAE TO
SAN FRANCISCO

We launched Dandelion Chocolate Japan in collaboration with Seiji Horibuchi in 2016. Seiji frequented our Valencia Street café, and we developed an immediate rapport based on our shared love of chocolate. Seiji has an eye for detail and boundless energy; we loved our conversations together. He proposed taking our chocolate international by building a new factory in Kuramae, old Tokyo — an area known for artisan workshops and a craft culture. Here, Dandelion Japan’s Pastry and Confections teams create elegantly flavorful chocolates and desserts.
