Coco-Zen - a small artisan chocolate company started by a 1st time mom who believes we all play a part in making the world a better place. Coco-Zen specializes in Fair Trade Certified chocolate truffles, handmade from only organic and Fair Trade Certified chocolate, all natural & mostly organic ingredients, and no preservatives. After my son Max was born, I decided to leave the corporate world and finally start my own chocolate business (yes - I am a die-hard chocoholic and was shocked to learn about the negative impact that traditional cocoa farming has on the environment and the communities where most of the world's consumed cocoa is produced). Well, as all you moms know, when you have a child, you start thinking (and obsessing) about what kind of parent will I be, what kind of person will I raise, what values will I pass on, and what kind of world will I pass on to my child. This really started to seep into everything I did and became a driving force in developing the philosophy of my company... "At Coco-Zen believe that all living things are connected – that all our actions not only affect ourselves but also the world around us. As chocolatiers, we believe that we should not only strive to create the best chocolate treats, but in doing so, consider how we affect those who grow the cocoa and the land from which it comes. As retailers, we try to limit the impact that running a business has on the environment - from packaging, to marketing collateral, to daily office routine. We believe in oneness with our planet and its people - we believe in a fair and more sustainable way of doing business." I hope many of you will visit our website - www.Coco-Zen.com - and discover Coco-Zen's delectable chocolate treats, read about our beginnings and philosophy, learn about organic production and fair trade of cocoa, and try out our favorite recipes.
