Chanthaburi 70% | Single Origin Dark Chocolate Bar | 70g
A 70% dark chocolate made from cacao grown in Chanthaburi, Thailand. The beans are fermented in wooden boxes and dried slowly under sun and shade before being roasted in small batches to preserve the natural fruit character of the origin.
The profile is shaped around clarity rather than intensity. Bright fruit notes sit over a softer cocoa base, with a gentle acidity that stays composed rather than sharp. The texture is smooth, with a steady melt that carries flavour evenly through the bar.
This is single-origin expression kept deliberately minimal, letting fermentation and origin define the structure rather than roast or added complexity.

Ruby Hue is a Bristol-based craft chocolate brand focused on small-batch, bean-to-bar production and bold flavour development. Founded by Ruth “Ru” Scanlon and Tom Hughes, the company brings together high-level pastry training and international mixology to create chocolate with a strong emphasis on origin and pairing.
Ru built her career in Michelin-starred kitchens, later becoming Head Chef at the Wimbledon Royal Box and reaching the semi-finals of Bake Off: The Professionals. Tom’s background in global bartending and competition mixology adds a complementary approach centred on balance and flavour layering.
Originally launched as a pop-up, Ruby Hue formally took shape in 2020, pivoting into full bean-to-bar production during a challenging period for hospitality. Rather than relying on pre-made chocolate, the founders invested in learning the full process—from sourcing cacao to in-house production.
Now recognised as Bristol’s first dedicated bean-to-bar chocolate maker, Ruby Hue works with ethically sourced cacao from regions including Peru, Uganda, Guatemala, and Thailand. The brand positions itself around transparency, craftsmanship, and a clear focus on flavour-led chocolate designed for modern retail.
