Jade Chocolates’ Shop Grand Opening!
Jade Chocolates has officially opened the doors of our new chocolate and tea shop! Just shy of our 8th year in business, we’ve finally realized our biggest milestone-a home to call our own. Our shop is the only place where you can find our entire product line, including products not on our website.
We’d love to personalize your chocolate experience. Ask us anything—what flavors of tea and hot
chocolate to try, or what truffle to get for the chocolate lover in your life. We’re here to help.If tea is what you’re looking for, we offer a variety of flavors from The Aroma Tea Shop, and The Tea Smiths of San Francisco. All flavors are available hot, or over ice. And if one cup of tea isn’t enough, we offer it in bulk as well.
Blue People Oolong (flavored with sweet licorice root) and Tumeric (tumerice, ginger, lemongrass, etc.) has been our most popular flavors. Peach Momo (white tea sweetly scented with peaches) is still the staff pick. No matter how much tea you need, or what temperature you want it to be, we first recommend exploring our ‘Tea Aroma Buffet.’ Each of the round tins on the buffet contains a different flavor of tea, and you’re welcome to sample each scent. Take your time getting a nose for what you might like. We’d like to ensure that every cup is thoroughly enjoyed, without any guesswork.
On the hot chocolate front, there are quite a few unique flavors to choose from. Jasmine and Cardamom are the two top sellers, and Creamsicle is the reigning favorite with our staff. But let’s itemize the whole list, shall we? Currently, we offer made-to-order hot chocolate in the following flavors: Bittersweet, Mint, Ginger, Turmeric & Black Pepper, Thai Red Curry, Cinnamon, Passion Fruit, and China Red (with a blend of cinnamon, New Mexico Chili, and red peppers). Hot chocolate will never be the same again.
Tea and hot chocolate are only part of what the shop has to offer. For those who are looking to literally sink their teeth into a confection, we have you covered. Tasting Tiles (our take on the French Mendiant) are a great option if you’re just looking for a little something sweet—these squares of delicious chocolate are embedded with things like fruit, nuts, and spices.
We also offer a range of truffles. Kalamansi Lime won staff pick. Some other popular flavors are Lychee Rose Green Tea, and Gold Mountain Salted Caramel. Come into the shop to try more original truffles, not available on our website. One of our more recent additions is a Sunflower truffle, filled with sweet and salty sun-butter (the subtle crunch comes from the occasional whole sunflower seed). Also available right now, we have Banana Walnut, Mint Meltaway, and Lilikoi (Passion Fruit).
If you’ve been a fan of Jade Chocolates and haven’t stopped by, we encourage you to come in. There’s bound to be something you haven’t tried.
4207 Geary Blvd in San Francisco. Shop hours are Monday through Saturday, 11 am – 6 pm. Sundays at the Clement street Farmer’s Market in front of Giorgio’s Pizzeria from 9 am – 2 pm.
