In 2003, David Castellan and Cynthia Leung had a dream of creating a small, funky chocolate factory. They believe nature gave cacao the perfect “Soma”, a mystical substance mentioned in the Rig Veda, and they knew they had to find new ways to create and enjoy it. What started in the tiny corner of a distillery, roasting and winnowing cacao beans, refining and conching their own chocolate, spinning gelato, baking cookies, making hot chocolates, and producing a line of truffles has grown into three stores, a small chocolate factory, and a network of wholesalers.
