Our Mission
Lucid Chocolatier focuses on sourcing the best organic beans from Peru, and bringing them to New Zealand to create what we believe is the most unique craft chocolate on the market. Our standards are extremely high, and our processes are both considered and meticulous.
Our Head Chocolate Maker, Johnty Tatham is extremely passionate about his mission to showcase what artisanal chocolate making is all about. Having studied both in New Zealand and USA, worked as a pastry chef and chocolatier, and being a gold medal competitive chef, Johnty is excited to share his take on craft chocolate with you.
We have prepared three collections for you to showcase creativity across all aspects of the chocolate making process. We hope you enjoy exploring the Lucid approach to chocolate making.
Quality Chocolate Bars From NZ
Our luxury range includes the 68% Port with caramel, nut, and raisin notes. It’s infused with 10-year-old Tawny Port, adding depth of flavour. This inspired creation won Gold in the 2023 Outstanding NZ Food Producer Awards in the bean-to-bar flavoured category.
We also bring you the 72%, coffee, hazelnut, and red berry flavoured Santiago de Sisa, another award-winning production that took the 2022 New Zealand Chocolate Award in the single origin category.
Experience Distinguished Flavours
While keeping with tradition, we’re also evolving to bring you progressive products such as the 72% Chuncho which won the NZ Vegan 2023 Chocolate award. So, buy our chocolate online from NZ and enjoy our inspired textures and flavours.
If you appreciate quality ingredients and the craftsmanship that goes into making gourmet foods, you’ll adore our New Zealand-made chocolate. We source our cocoa from Peru so that you can look forward to authentic flavours from the birthplace of chocolate.
