Down the Rabbit Hole to Bean to Bar Chocolate

January 11, 2026

Two Years of Coffee. One Request. One rabbit hole.

I've always believed that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing well. Two years ago, I set out to make freshly roasted, premium coffee accessible to everyone—the kind I'd choose myself.

Then came the client request that changed everything: a gift box pairing my coffee with chocolate. I couldn't settle for just any chocolate; it had to match the standards of my roasts. That sent me down a rabbit hole through the world of artisan makers, until I found the perfect union in Chocolarder. Their bean-to-bar philosophy mirrors my own obsession with quality, origin, and flavour. I've done the tasting and pairing so you can simply enjoy a moment that's exactly right. Life's too short for anything less.

The Perfect Pairing

Chocolarder's small-batch bars, handcrafted in Cornwall from ethically sourced cacao elevate every cup. Pair the bright, fruity notes of Asháninka 72% Peruvian Dark with our lighter roasts, discover the floral complexity of Wild Gorse Flower 50% Milk alongside a smooth pour-over, or deepen a bold espresso with Ponta Figo 70% São Tomé Dark. These aren't just matches; they're moments.

Gift Ready, Story Worthy

Beautifully packaged and ready to delight, Chocolarder bars like Cornish Sea Salt 50% Ghanaian Milk and Blonde 40% Caramelised White shine solo or curated into our new coffee-chocolate gift boxes, as our client requested. It was so popular both with our clients gift recipients and within our own household as we had the challenging job of sampling the chocolates that would make the shortlist. The pairing you've been craving, now at your fingertips.
