Jasmine Mint
DELICIOUSLY DELICATE
We steep jasmine and mint in cacao butter, then blend it with single origin cacao for a soothing and uplifting dark chocolate. The chocolate equivalent to tea time.
We're proud to partner with our neighbor, the landmark New York Botanical Garden, which supports living collections of more than one million plants inside their 250-acre landscape and conservatory. This bar celebrates the beauty and flavor of the plants that surround and sustain us.
Each bar is wrapped in botanical artwork from NYBG’s historical archives. A percentage of proceeds goes back to NYBG’s work in plant science and conservation, horticulture, and education.
Due to limited supply, this bar is not available as part of boxes and bundles.

Wonderful Chocolate
Loved the subtle flavors of jasmine and mint in the chocolate. Neither was overpowering but just the right mix.
Good quality, subtle flavor
I love the quality of this dark chocolate. But the jasmine and mint flavor are quite subtle; while they give the bar a slightly smoother texture and herbal nuisance, the flavors don’t really come through. This makes sense as those tea/herb leaves were “steeped,” not directly blended. I would have been more excited if the botanical theme stood out more in this bar.
