The Discovery Set — Dark, Milk & White
Buying chocolate for someone whose taste you don't know is usually a guess: dark or milk, bitter or sweet. The Discovery Set takes the guessing out. It's a curated selection of dark, milk and white craft chocolate built around our bestsellers, the bars our customers choose most as gifts and for themselves, alongside a few rarer finds. Whatever they like, it's in here. And they may find out they like something they never expected.
Tasting the three side by side is the fun of it. The dark bars are deep and intense, with notes of fruit, roast and earth. The milk bars are richer and more complex than most people expect milk chocolate to be. The white is creamy and surprising, nothing like the sweet stuff they may remember. It's a gift to open slowly, share and compare, and a small education in how far craft chocolate has come.
The exact bars rotate with what's at its peak, but the rule never changes: our bestsellers at the core, and always dark, milk and white inside.
Each box is hand-wrapped in reusable olive linen using furoshiki, the centuries-old Japanese technique. The cloth is meant to be untied, kept and used again, not thrown away. More on our furoshiki here.

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.

Personalised Message Card
This gift is a great example of the sustainability and reusability of its' packaging. Chocolates are wrapped in Japanese-style linen fabric that later can be used as home decor or an accessory (bandana wristband, anyone?)
