Idukki Hills Happiness! 🇮🇳 One Indian bean;

Idukki Hills Happiness!
🇮🇳
One Indian bean; three memorable bars.

Handcrafted by 3 new East Coast chocolate makers (Viriginia, North Carolina & South Carolina) & one suprisingly refreshing bean...

A cold & fizzy bottle of mango & berry seltzer water. Kisses of sparkling citrus & pineapple. Hints of spice & nuts to tickle your tongue. A splash of honey to sooth your soul.🍯

🍾 Refreshing & effervescent chocolate from cacao grown in the Idukki Hills region in southern India.

About the 3 chocolate makers:

Launched in 2020...

Lumineux: Husband & wife team Ben & Becca Snyder in Greenville, South Carolina

Odyssey Chocolate: Chocolate mastermind Johnny Epps in Charlottesville, Virginia

And launched in 2017...

Joyland Provisions: Husband & wife team Robert & Viny in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Viny, from India, incorporates artwork & flavors from her native land. In the photo above, take a closer look at the bright yellow & green artwork on the label. The intricate design, a Kolam, is typically found in southern India. During morning mediations, this symbol is hand-drawn with rice powder in front of homes as a way to connect with the earth.

Back-up plan, when single-origin dark chocolate no

Back-up plan, when single-origin dark chocolate non-pareils, a key Christmas gift for son #1, are delayed in transit from Philadelphia. This experiment is using @colorkitchenfoods all-natural sprinkles made w/ plant-based colors, and a mixture of melted 70% dark chocolate pieces. Trying to recreate the handcrafted beauties from Naked Chocolate.
🍭
Also working on dipping mini-candy canes in dark chocolate for drinking chocolate gift bags. Both are messy endeavors, and I'll admit I have no idea what I'm doing. Desperate times call for lots of chocolate.

🎉And in January, we can celebrate a second time when all my chocolate orders arrive.

Every cacao bean has a story to tell. But not ever

Every cacao bean has a story to tell.
But not every story is heard.
📚
A story of weathered Brown & Black hands,
Purposeful & unfaltering.
🤲🏽
Hands, young and old, that have for centuries, and continue today, even in 2020, to hand-pick every single cacao pod.
🤲🏿
A story of zoetic soil, of sensual green canopy, of rugged terrain and dappled tropical shadows.
🍃
Of mysterious jungles and landscapes unfamiliar to our carefully curated air-conditioned worlds.
🏭
A story that connects us to ancient voices of the past. And to tropical forests of the present.
🐢
A story, if to be heard, must be written by the hands of a gifted chocolate maker. Echoed in the aromas, narrated in the flavors, urged by those ancient voices speaking a language all their own.

Odyssey Chocolates is a storyteller who listens to those whispering voices, and masterfully but gently coaxes each cacao bean into a meaningful work of art.

New extraordinary bean to bar chocolates are narrated by a discerning young chocolate maker, Johnny Epps; someone to watch in 2021.

"My life is like my old truck...Being in control is an illusion. But that's ok. I keep bumping down the road, enjoying the ride, pressing on the gas. Onward"
