Vine Moon

October 4, 2009

The Vine Moon is a time for relaxation, spirituality and inspiration. The moon is also a representation of the changing seasons and traveling souls.  Legend has it that during the full Vine Moon the veil of separation between the cycle of life and death is thinned, allowing lost souls to travel back to the land of the living.

These are the flavors which inspire the Zion collection… Jamaican allspice, with its essence of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, is used in jerk seasonings, sauces and curries. The sorrel flower, brought from India, blooms in December in deep red shades. This ‘flor de Jamaica’ makes their traditional holiday beverage and is slightly tart in flavor. Appleton Rum, the world’s oldest rum, has always been a key part of Jamaican culture. Its influences flow powerfully through traditional Jamaican medicine, ritual and everyday life. Sugarcane, from acres of fields that lie in the shadows of the great Blue Mountains. The flavors of this collection are each reminiscent of the many sacred treasures the island has to offer.

I have always been drawn to the cycles of the moon.  Join our lunar journey through the Lunar Club Haut-Chocolat.  Receive a different chocolate collection each month, just in time to enjoy by the light of the full moon.   - Katrina
