WINNER! 1st place for 'Best Flavored Chocolate' at the 2012 San Francisco Chocolate Salon

35% milk chocolate
roasted brown rice
roasted green and fragrant jasmine tea

Tasting notes: The sweet milk chocolate is balanced by the deep nuttiness & crunchiness of the brown rice & is followed by the floral tea aftertaste.

Country of Inspiration: Japan
This is the first bar created by Jade Chocolates putting us on the map to artisan chocolate bars. This is the upscale version to traditional rice and chocolate bars. 'Genmai' translates to 'brown rice or unpolished rice' & with the addition of tea, our chocolate bar is actually a Genmai Cha ('cha' meaning 'tea') bar.

A New Favorite!I found this delectable bar in my Christmas stocking and enjoyed every bite. A truly compelling blend of savory, salt and sweet. Thank you! Written by Kathryn T S Bass on Tue 4 Jan 2011 10:13:32 PM GMT

YummyThis east coast boy says 'yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy'...love your unique chocolates..bought for me by my ducky girlfriend Written by BigDaddy on Sun 5 Dec 2010 1:18:15 AM GMT

THE BEST EVERI had tasted this at the 2009 SF Chocolate Festival and OHMG it was amazing. I only bought this one bar because I felt it was the best out of all of them (standard chocolate tastes are pretty much the same to me...) but this one was special.
Even a year later, drinking my Genmai tea, I can still imagine the taste and smell. Crunchy yet soft on the tongue. Smooth flavors combined into the best chocolate bar ever.

I should have bought more than just one bar, I totally regret it. Written by E. S. on Wed 24 Nov 2010 9:07:33 AM GMT

Winner! 1st place for 'Best New Product' at the 2010 San Francisco Chocolate Salon.

41% milk chocolate
tamari almonds
pink sea salt

Tasting Notes: Blanched almonds are soaked in tamari soy sauce, then roasted to perfection. Bits of pink terracotta colored sea salt is sprinkled into the melted milk chocolate created a salty/sweet combination.

Country of Inspiration: China
This bar is dedicated to the first emperor of China who unified the feuding states of the Chinese people. The emperor used harsh tactics to unite the people and commisioned life sized terracotta warriors to defend him in the after life.

Tasting Notes: This bar is extremely smooth & creamy with strong caramel notes. It's light on the espresso and pleasantly scented with hints of floral cardamom.

Countries of Inspiration: Vietnam and Turkey
The blending of Turkish and Vietnamese coffee is the inspiration for this bar. Vietnamese coffee is extremely sweet with heaps of condensed milk added to the beverage while Turkish coffee is generally very dark with little to no sugar added. An aromatic spice such as cardamom is usually ground into Turkish coffee.
