Our workshop

Every bar is made in a room with three stone grinders.

Ravi was a pastry chef in Chennai until he tasted beans from a cacao farm in Idukki and stopped making anything else. Our workshop in White Town roasts about 60 kg of beans a week, and every batch is tasted against the farm’s notes before it is wrapped.

60 kg: of beans roasted each week
48 hours: in the stone grinder
2: cacao farms we buy from

What customers say

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

The Idukki bar tastes of fruit, not just sugar. I did not know Indian chocolate could taste like this.

The bonbon box arrived in Delhi in June, cold and perfect, with ice gel still frozen.

We did the Saturday tasting. Eating the raw nibs and then the finished bar made the whole process click.

Questions

Before you order

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

Will chocolate melt in shipping?

We ship in insulated boxes with ice gel, Monday to Wednesday only, so parcels do not wait over a weekend. Summer delivery is still safe.

Should I keep chocolate in the fridge?

Bars are best at 16–20 °C in a cupboard. If your room is hotter, wrap them well and keep them in the fridge door, then let them warm before eating.

Are your bars vegan?

Our dark bars contain only cacao and sugar and are vegan. The kitchen also handles milk, so traces are possible.

Do you make corporate gift boxes?

Yes, from 20 boxes, with a printed sleeve and card. Allow 10 days. Prices start at ₹950 a box.
