Description
In springtime, the forest awakens. Woodland creatures nibble on fresh shoots, and spruce tips burst forth from the canopy of conifers, like millions of magical sprites with emerald green wings, glimmering in the morning mists through webs of dark branches.
Paired with our single estate cacao beans from Costa Esmeraldas, these locally foraged spruce tips add a vibrant lemony, piney flavour to this rich and oaky 65% dark chocolate. Let it take you on a journey deep into the forest.
A taste of the BC forest
Every spring, the tips of spruce trees push out bright green new growth. These locally foraged BC spruce tips go into a 65% dark chocolate made from our single estate Costa Esmeraldas cacao from Ecuador. The spruce adds a vibrant, lemony, piney lift to the rich, oaky chocolate — it tastes like a walk in a West Coast forest.

Frequently asked questions
What do spruce tips taste like?
Surprisingly citrusy: think lemon zest and fresh pine, rather than anything woody or bitter.
Is it vegan and gluten-free?
Yes — cacao beans, organic unrefined cane sugar, cacao butter and BC spruce tips. No dairy, and made with gluten-free ingredients.
