These three lovely flower-shaped, foil-wrapped chocolates from Wei of Chocolate (Phoenix, AZ) were infused with different beverage, spice and floral flavors.

The Cafe Wei espresso infusion was very mild. The Chai-infused chocolate (made with 65% cacao) had a warm, gingerbread taste. The Citrus piece (70% cacao) had soft fragrant notes of orange and a hint of orange blossom + rose geranium if I'm not mistaken. (All three pieces contained some flower essences.)

These Wei chocolates were labeled organic, vegan, fair trade, gluten and soy free.

Today was Day #3 of Chocolate Beverage Theme Week.

Today was Day #7 of Chocolate and Spicy Pepper Theme Week, and Day #1 of Chocolate and Ginger Theme Week. This little Organic, flower-shaped dark chocolate (74% cacao) from Wei of Chocolate (Phoenix, AZ) was infused with a subtle blend of cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, and flower essences. It was a great choice for a contemplative Sunday at home, spent recovering from a cold. Hot soup and ginger honey tea soon followed.

Oh, did I mention this Wei Love was gluten-free, Fair Trade and Vegan as well? The question I really want to ask though is how does Wei make chocolate in a city as hot as Phoenix? Hats off to them.
