mint 70%

Based in Seattle, Washington, Theo holds a significant place in the American chocolate landscape as a pioneer of the bean-to-bar movement. By managing the transformation from raw bean to finished bar in-house, they maintain rigorous control over the flavor development of their products. This commitment to the craft process allows them to showcase the natural characteristics of their carefully selected cacao while ensuring complete transparency in their production journey.

The Mint 70% bar serves as a sophisticated study in contrast. The foundation is a robust 70% dark chocolate that provides a deep, earthy base, which is then lifted by the clean, cooling notes of pure peppermint essential oil. Rather than overwhelming the palate, the peppermint accentuates the complex profile of the cocoa beans, resulting in a snap that transitions into a smooth, refreshing melt. It is a classic pairing executed with a modern, intentional approach to intensity.

Beyond the flavor, Theo is defined by a deep-rooted commitment to responsible sourcing. Every bar is crafted with a focus on ethical practices, utilizing cacao that is certified Organic and Fair Trade. By maintaining direct trade relationships with farmers, they prioritize the long-term well-being of the communities that cultivate their ingredients. The final result is a bar that is inclusive by design, remaining Non-GMO, Kosher, and Vegan for a wide variety of enthusiasts to enjoy.
