Origin & Craftsmanship
This elegant bar is made by Kasama in Vancouver, blending Trinitario cacao beans sourced from Davao, Philippines, with Sri Lankan Earl Grey tea from the Granville Island Tea Company. The beans are stone-ground alongside the tea to delicately infuse floral and citrus nuances into the chocolate. 

Flavor Profile
A beautifully floral dark milk chocolate, it opens with aromas reminiscent of a lavender field and is brightened by vivid dark orange and bergamot notes. Despite the 57% cacao content, the bar feels rich and decadent—its bergamot-balanced sweetness delivers a refined and indulgent experience. 

Accolades & Awards
This bar is widely praised and regarded as award-winning, though specific accolades aren’t listed on primary sites. Its refined flavor profile and craftsmanship reflect Kasama’s reputation for excellence. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let the chocolate melt slowly on your tongue to release its floral and citrus essence. The bergamot will unfold gradually, revealing a layered and elegant experience. Pair this bar with a classic Earl Grey or jasmine tea to echo its floral and citrus notes, or sip alongside a delicate sparkling wine that highlights the bergamot brightness. For a savory pairing, try shortbread biscuits or buttery croissants—the subtle sweetness and buttery texture enhance the tea-forward chocolate beautifully.

Summary

The Kasama Earl Grey Tea 57% bar is a sophisticated fusion of milk chocolate richness and the elegant bouquet of Earl Grey tea. Crafted with care, it delivers a floral-citrus escape in each bite—perfect for those seeking a tea-inspired, artisanal chocolate experience.

We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.

How We Protect Chocolate in Transit

Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.

25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging

30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack

35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs

Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve

We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.

Estimated Delivery Times

Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.

Customs and Duties

Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.

If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.

Orders With Pre-Order Items

An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.

If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.

Damage, Melting and Delays

We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.

If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.

Delivery to Specific Countries

For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

Kasama Chocolate is a brand that traces its roots back to a simple yet transformative realization: not all cacao beans are created equal. While many people enjoy dark chocolate from the grocery store, the founders of Kasama discovered a whole new world of flavor and complexity once they began crafting chocolate from scratch. This journey into the world of bean-to-bar chocolate marked the beginning of their deep appreciation for the endless possibilities of flavor and the richness of the cacao bean.

The Magic of Bean-to-Bar Chocolate
"While we had been eating dark chocolate from the grocery store for years, it was only once we started making it from scratch and tasting the products of other bean-to-bar makers, that we began to appreciate the diversity and complexity that was possible." This sentiment sums up the ethos behind Kasama Chocolate. Unlike mass-produced chocolate, which often blends beans from various regions to create a uniform taste, Kasama takes pride in its focus on the unique characteristics of different cacao beans. The company’s founders discovered that cacao beans, like wine or coffee beans, can vary widely in flavor depending on several factors: the bean variety, its place of origin, growing conditions, and the post-harvest practices employed by the farmers. This opens up a spectrum of flavors, from bright and citrusy to deep, earthy, and even bourbon-like notes.

When Kasama first entered the world of craft chocolate, they were struck by how much there was to explore. They came to understand that cacao is a complex and expressive ingredient, capable of producing a range of flavors as varied as those found in the finest wines. Each cacao bean tells a story, and by working directly with cacao growers and refining their chocolate-making process, Kasama was able to unlock those stories and bring them to life in each of their bars and truffles.

Craft Chocolate as a Community
For the founders of Kasama, the journey into craft chocolate was not just about discovering new flavors; it was also about connecting with a passionate, supportive, and burgeoning community. "Once we opened the door to the world of craft chocolate and discovered the passionate, burgeoning community surrounding it, we were hooked." Craft chocolate has exploded in recent years, with more and more small-scale, artisanal chocolatiers joining the ranks of those who seek to make chocolate in a more thoughtful and intentional way. This movement emphasizes high-quality ingredients, traceability, and sustainable practices—principles that Kasama embraces wholeheartedly.

The world of craft chocolate is more than just a marketplace; it’s a community built on collaboration and mutual support. Kasama is deeply committed to this ethos, often working closely with other bean-to-bar makers, cacao farmers, and local artisans. By forging relationships with small-scale producers, they help create a more sustainable and transparent chocolate supply chain, where everyone—from farmer to chocolatier to customer—benefits.

Local Ingredients, Local Impact
Another core principle at Kasama is their dedication to local ingredients and producers. While cacao doesn’t grow locally, the versatility of chocolate allows for exciting flavor combinations with local ingredients. Kasama actively seeks out collaborations with local vendors, farmers, and artisans to incorporate the best of what their community has to offer into their products. Whether it’s local honey, spices, or unique fruits, Kasama's use of locally sourced ingredients helps create a deeper connection to their region while supporting local businesses.

This commitment to collaboration extends beyond the ingredients themselves. Kasama believes in fostering a sense of community around their products—something that has been a key part of the craft chocolate movement as a whole. Through shared values of sustainability, creativity, and respect for the craft, Kasama is helping to build a culture of support where producers and customers alike come together to celebrate the art of fine chocolate.

The Future of Chocolate
As the craft chocolate movement continues to grow, Kasama Chocolate is excited about the future. The possibilities for new flavor profiles and innovative combinations are endless, and the founders are always on the lookout for the next great cacao bean, the next great ingredient, and the next great partnership. With a foundation built on a passion for chocolate, a love of local ingredients, and a deep respect for the community, Kasama is poised to continue pushing the boundaries of what craft chocolate can be.

For those who haven’t yet ventured into the world of bean-to-bar chocolate, Kasama Chocolate offers a gateway to a richer, more complex chocolate experience. It’s an invitation to taste the diversity of cacao, to explore the flavors of the world, and to join a growing community of people who are passionate about chocolate that is as much about story as it is about taste.

In every bite of Kasama Chocolate, there’s a sense of discovery—a journey that begins with the cacao bean and extends into a shared passion for flavor, craft, and community.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odours. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
