Elements Truffles
Founded by Alak Vasa, a former trader on Wall Street who turned to an Ayurvedic lifestyle to go back to her roots and pursue a passion through chocolate and meditation. Elements Truffles are Ayurveda-inspired raw & organic chocolates flavored with pure essential oils. They are free from any dairy or refined sugar and are sweetened with local New Jersey honey. These mindful chocolates are free from any preservatives, emulsifiers, or GMOs. These are handmade in micro-batches and infused with Ayurvedic superfoods such as turmeric, beetroot, lavender & cardamom. Ethical and fair trade.
Madhu Chocolate
Harshit Gupta and Elliott Curelop source quality cacao from the Tumaco region of Colombia—a favorite among some of the most accomplished chocolate makers, and then go wild with the flavors, drawing on Gupta’s Indian childhood for inspiration. Saffron, black pepper from Kerala, cloves, coriander, and masala chai all make welcome appearances. If you are looking for handcrafted Indian-inspired cocoa goodness, Madhu Chocolate is the perfect place to check out.
Cacao & Cardamom
Annie Rupani used her study breaks from LSAT prep to teach herself all about chocolate. The one-time Miss Pakistan World later began experimenting, combining modern techniques with the bold flavors of her upbringing. Her wildly colorful bonbons and patterned bars, in flavors like coffee and cardamom, are a visual feast. Make sure not to miss the incredible little mouthful of happiness from Cacao & Cardamom in Texas.
