NEWTREE Chocolate

Love the NewTree chocolates! I think my favorite candy bars that they put out is the dark chocolate with the pink peppercorns and the newer Granola bar which contains milk chocolate, lime and green tea! Notable mentions is their candy bars with ginger, cinnamon and lavender as well! Next one I want to try? The one with lots of berries in it. Cranberries, goji berries… that sort of thing.

NewTree manufactures intense dark and milk chocolate bars incorporating unique essences and flavors into them. Made with pure Belgian chocolate NewTree makes the claim that all of their products are GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) free. Their dark chocolates consist of 73 percent pure cocoa. NewTree makes the claim that their chocolates are more nutritious by adding antioxidants such as guarana extract, grape extract, cactus extract and lime blossom extract into selected flavors. Currently, NewTree manufactures 9 distinct flavors:
Pleasure — rich, dark chocolate
Vigor — dark chocolate with coffee
Renew — dark chocolate with black currant
Forgiveness — dark chocolate with lemon
Sexy — dark chocolate with ginger
Blush — dark chocolate with cherry
Tranquility — milk chocolate with lavender
Rejoice — milk chocolate with bitter orange and crisped rice
Cocoon — milk chocolate with cinnamon
I sampled all six of the dark chocolate varieties at the recent San Francisco International Chocolate Salon, and Sexy became an instant favorite not only for the ginger flavor but for incorporating actual ginger shavings into the chocolate. Forgiveness had a nice subtle lemon flavor and Renew was quite different with its black currant flavor.
I was told by one of the NewTree representatives that I can now purchase these bars at Andronico’s supermarkets throughout the Bay Area. You can also order directly from their super informative website at
