We don’t enter our products for awards at Ruby Hue, because the opinions we value most are those of our incredibly stylish and cool customers! Here are some of our most popular chocolates.
This complex bar reveals layers of flavour, with delicate notes of green tea, apricot jam, and a subtle balsamic funkiness.
Nestled in the lush countryside of Chanthaburi, Thailand, lies the cacao farm and cooperative run by Boom and Suriya. Together, they work with over 100 partner farmers who cultivate small quantities of cacao alongside the region’s celebrated crops of durian and mangosteen. Although the Thai government encouraged cacao production in the 1990s, it wasn’t until the rise of Thailand’s craft chocolate movement in the last two decades that Thai cacao began to earn the recognition it deserves.
We’re thrilled to showcase this origin through a bar made with the distinctive cacao grown by our friends in Chanthaburi — a chocolate that captures both the vibrancy of the land and the dedication of the farmers who nurture it.

This ultra-rare Piura Blanco bean is a unique combination of albino and Nacional genetic cacao varietals. Grown in the arid Piura Valley of north-west Peru, these white beans thrive despite the region’s dry and sun-scorched conditions. Farmers have ingeniously harnessed Andean waterways to keep their cacao flourishing, transforming an unforgiving landscape into a place of abundance.
The Piura Blanco bean is naturally fruity, a quality born from both its genetics and fermentation process. To highlight this character, we’ve paired the cacao with a subtle touch of passion fruit, enhancing its bright, tropical profile while allowing its creamy depth to shine through.

In northern Guatemala lies Laguna Lachuá, a warm oasis that is home to many Q’eqchi’ Maya indigenous farmers who cultivate crops such as cacao and corn. The cacao used in this bar is fully traceable, single-estate grown, and produced exclusively on Finca Ana Maria. The farmers ferment the beans for six days in boxes to enhance their unique flavour before sun-drying and shipping them to Ruby Hue.
We chose to give this origin a slightly darker roast than we usually would to accentuate its naturally rich brownie and nutty profile. Paired with caramelised butter and creamy tonka, this makes for an unapologetically indulgent chocolate bar.
Ingredients: organic Guatemalan cacao, organic unrefined sugar, cocoa butter, tonka bean
