Theo Chocolate ,Seattle

 Taking a tour of this place is fascinating.

  Their organic ingredients and carefully designed processes

are a sight to behold and do produce chocolate of an incredibly

 high quality (if not to my taste).

 This is definitely a must for chocolate lovers.

Organic. Fair-trade. CHOCOLATE. Could this place be any more me?

The tour was so fun - our guide was energetic and super friendly,

 and you could tell he loved his job.

They are SO generous with their samples, which is just perfect for me -

the more chocolate the better.

I completely adore the fact that they are fair-trade,

 after reading some horrifying statistics about cocoa (cacao?)

harvesting on the Ivory Coast, and the quality and care just really

 shows through.

I think my very favorite bar is the Coconut Curry -

SO interesting and delicious, but I loved everything I tried.

 Second favorite: Bread and Chocolate. Sweet + sea salt is

 pretty much always guaranteed to win me over.

The confections were amazing

(I wish I could have tried them all!) and I loved tasting

the difference between Origin bars.

I bought a bunch, but have eaten/given away most of them already,

so I just stocked up again at my local Cost Plus.

 I think I actually squealed when I saw them there.

I am so happy to support a company with such great values,

and such a great product!
