Pros and Cons
Pros
- Crafted by acupuncturists and chef
Chichi Chocolate is the brainchild of two acupuncturists and one chef. The creation is packed with fine chocolate and herbs. You can satisfy your sweet tooth and get the benefit of traditional Chinese herbal formulas. How awesome is that!
- Beautiful package with acupressure points and symbolized animals from Taoism cosmology
I can’t express how impressed I am with their beautiful packages. Each package comes with a symbolized animal from Taoism cosmology on the front, related acupressure points and story of the animal inside the package.
You enjoy the chocolate, learn Chinese medicine and Taoism cosmology at the same time.
- Natural taste of herb and chocolate
The herb tastes natural. It does not overpower chocolate. The chocolate leads the taste. You do taste the herb once the chocolate starts to melt or you chew on the chocolate.
Chichi Chocolate team does a great job to balance the sweetness and herbal tastes.
Cons
- If you only want chocolate but no herbs
If you do not like any herb taste in any scale, Chichi is not for you. I believe the team does great to balance the chocolate and herb taste. You do taste the herb.
- Difficult to imagine how it taste like from the description
Chichi chocolate team did a fantastic job combining five elements, taoism cosmology, and traditional Chinese herbal formulas.
But, just reading the ingredients is difficult to comprehend how it tastes. Of course, you can easily pick a bar based on the herbal formulate, such as for stress or for sleep. It is difficult to tell what it tastes like from what you see on the package.
Alternatives
If you restrict the alternatives to chocolate with Chinese herbal formulas, I really can’t find other alternatives.
Of course, there are chocolate bars blended with herbs, such as lavender etc.
If you happen to know any other chocolate bars with Chinese herbal formulas, please let me know. I appreciate the information!
Recommendation
I would highly recommend ChiChi Chocolate to any chocolate lovers and Chinese medicine supporters. With its carefully craft formula, beautiful design, and packed of knowledge, I believe Chichi Chocolate is great for yourself and your acupuncturists and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
