A full two feet of bonbons. An exploration of five single origins. A story within each bite. Crafting this expansive, twenty-piece tasting experience, Nicholas and Dillon drew inspiration from the regional traditions, flavors, and ingredients of five single-origin cocoa producers. 

The Collection showcases ten unique confection varieties — two per origin, offered in pairs for sharing. One bonbon of each pair accentuates the chocolate’s tasting notes, while the other highlights the chocolate’s versatility when combined with region-specific foods. Distinctive flavors and textures emerge from origin-evocative ingredients such as tart soursop; woodsy Madagascar vanilla bean; and soft coconut marshmallow, which draws inspiration from fresh coconuts grown (and blended into drinks) on the Kokoa Kamili, Tanzania farm.

Included with the confections — presented in an elegant, reusable, fabric-covered gift box — is a printed card to guide your single-origin tasting experience.

Our cocoa is sourced from an array of places around the globe. Each has vastly different cultures and traditions. The chocolate at Dandelion itself offers a journey for the palate, much as wine would. We hope these pairings enrich that journey and inspire more detours.
