Tokyo & SF Collection

This set presents a rare opportunity to experience the intriguingly different flavors brought out by our two culturally distinct teams of craft chocolate makers. Because chocolate makers tend to calibrate roast profiles to their local palates, our San Francisco and Tokyo teams create strikingly different bars from the same beans.

We encourage you to taste both bars of the same origin side by side to experience the differences for yourself. Each pair is made using the same beans, the same philosophy, and the same basic process — with slightly varied roast profiles.

This limited-edition box set includes six bars made from three origins, plus a detailed tasting guide.

Ingredients & allergens: All of our single-origin chocolate is made with just cocoa beans and sugar; no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla. Our chocolate is free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten, and it is made in a factory that does not process nuts.
Weight: 12 ounces (340 grams)
Learn more: Learn more about our cocoa beans and sugar – the region, the farms, and the producers.

THE COLLECTION

The special fabric-covered accordion box housing this collection was designed by our friend, acclaimed local artist and designer Yvonne Mouser, and is handmade in India. Tied closed with a slim, vegan-leather strap, the collection box opens wide to display each bar individually. Yvonne continually inspires us by turning our design challenges into beautiful pieces of art.

Same beans, same process.
Different cultures, different palates, different bars.

We always wondered how much culture influences the palate. This special tasting set illustrates how two Dandelion Chocolate teams — one from San Francisco, the other from Tokyo — use the same beans and philosophies to develop six unique bars from across the globe. We encourage you to taste both bars of the same origin together to experience the differences for yourself. Each pair is made from the same ingredients using the same basic methods — with slightly varied roast profiles to highlight distinctive flavor nuances.
