65% Dark Chocolate with Spruce Tips and Fresh Forest Brightness

This is a chocolate bar that tastes like spring air in the forest. Kasama Spring Awakening pairs rich 65% dark chocolate made with Costa Esmeraldas cacao from Ecuador with locally foraged Briitish Colombia spruce tips, creating a bar that is deep, fresh, and frankly...magical.

We love this one because the spruce tip flavor is not loud or gimmicky. It's mild, foresty, and bright—more like walking through a fresh Pacific Northwest forest on a cool spring morning than eating something that tastes like Christmas trees. There is a little citrus lift, a little green freshness, maybe the barest suggestion of rosemary or spearmint, but never so much that it becomes either. It is just...spring, somehow.

All About Kasama Spring Awakening Chocolate Bar

Kasama makes this 65% dark chocolate bar with single-estate cacao from Costa Esmeraldas in Ecuador and locally foraged spruce tips from British Columbia. The cacao brings richness, oakiness, and depth, while the spruce tips add a vibrant lemony, piney freshness that pulls the flavor toward the forest.

Why It Works

65% dark chocolate gives the bar enough richness to carry the spruce tip flavor
Costa Esmeraldas cacao brings depth, warmth, and oaky chocolate character
BC spruce tips add fresh, lemony, gently piney brightness
The flavor is unusual but balanced—foresty, not overpowering
A beautiful tasting bar for people who love botanical, seasonal, or place-based chocolate

How to Enjoy It

Let a piece melt slowly so the chocolate has time to open. The first impression is dark chocolate richness, followed by a fresh green lift from the spruce tips. It is especially good in a quiet tasting where you can notice the way the flavor moves from cocoa to forest air to bright spring finish.

Pair with black tea, oolong tea, coffee, or a lightly smoky tea
Serve with shortbread, toasted nuts, dried cherries, or citrus peel
Use in a tasting flight with other botanical or inclusion bars
Give to adventurous chocolate lovers who appreciate seasonal flavors

A Note for Curious Tasters

This is not a mint chocolate bar and not a pine-flavored novelty bar. The spruce tips bring freshness, aromatics, and a gentle forest note that sits beautifully inside the dark chocolate. It is subtle, strange, and very charming.

For the breadth and quality of its offerings, nothing equals ChefShop.com. In addition to well-chosen examples of an Italian kitchen's staples...there are excellent products from other parts of the world and, in season, fresh salmon from the Northwest, plus an item that has all but disappeared from neighborhood markets, genuinely tree-ripened, sugary fruits." -Marcella & Victor Hazan

Thank you so very much! I really appreciate it. Also your shop is awesome and it’s always a joy getting packages from y’all in the mail. -Peter

Our favourite cocoa I have 8 varieties of cocoa at home -- red cocoa, black cocoa, natural cocoa, and several high-end specialty cocoas (Barry Extra Brut, Valrhona, Guittard, Ghirardelli...). My family goes through enormous quantities of cocoa powder -- for hot cocoa, brownies, chocolate cakes, cookies... and this is by far our favourite. It has depth, complexity, and richness. While the specialty cocoas are excellent, I find they can sometimes be quite bitter, lack richness or body. This one is always perfect for whatever we are making. And being in Canada, I go to great lengths to buy this cocoa -- that should tell you how much we love it! - Monika
