Cococlectic: A Bean-to-Bar Chocolate-of-the-Month Club

Doreen Leong began sending craft dark chocolate to friends and family in her native Singapore soon after moving to San Francisco for graduate school in 2006. Since then, her admiration has grown into a full-fledged passion. Through Cococlectic, a bean-to-bar chocolate-of-the-month club, Leong connects American small-batch craft chocolate makers (many of them POC- and women-owned) to chocolate lovers.

Cococlectic features a different maker each month, and the dark chocolate bars included in each box are vegan, fair trade, non-GMO and contain five ingredients or less. They also come with a fun guide to chocolate tasting. Choose from a single one-time gift box ($45) or subscriptions of three months ($129), six months ($258), or 12 months ($43/mo). // cococlectic.com
