WELCOME
At Lucid Chocolatier we celebrate top producers of fine flavoured hierloom Peruvian cacao. Produced on our family farm in coastal Wairarapa New Zealand, we strive to create curious and intoxicating craft chocolate.
Our range is split into 3 core collections, Purist (single origin dark), Inquisitive (flavours and infusions), and Finite (seasonal availability). Lucid Labs is our newest project. Bars are made only once with limited stocks, and they are only available for direct purchase from us.
