BOHO - Spicy Chai 70%
A 70% organic dark laced with six traditional chai spices. Warm, balanced, a whisper of heat.
Above-the-fold callout
This bar exists because BOHO's founder is, by his own admission, obsessed with chai — he chased its variations around the world and always meant to put it into chocolate. The result is one of the best-balanced spiced bars we've tasted: a robust 70% organic dark carrying cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, anise seed, cayenne and black pepper, with no single spice shouting over the others and just a whisper of cayenne heat at the close. Warming, aromatic, and decorated with awards on both sides of the Atlantic.
Origin & Craftsmanship
The craft here is in the blend, not just the base. Plenty of makers add cinnamon and call it chai; BOHO builds a proper masala — six organic spices layered so each supports the next rather than dominating — over their robust 70% organic dark. It's made from scratch in small batches in Florence, Massachusetts, on the same ethical foundation as the rest of the range: organic cacao bought directly from smallholder farms at well over the commodity price. Vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free, with nothing artificial anywhere in it.
Flavor Profile
Deep, rich dark chocolate first, then the chai unfolds in sequence — warm cardamom and cinnamon, the brightness of ginger, a savoury note of anise and black pepper — before a gentle cayenne heat arrives to finish. Beautifully balanced and genuinely warming, the kind of bar that tastes like a cup of good chai looks: layered, comforting, a little exotic. Perfect cold-weather chocolate.
Award & Recognition
Widely decorated: a Bronze at the International Chocolate Awards (Americas), an Academy of Chocolate award winner, and a Good Food Awards finalist — recognition from three separate juries for a spiced bar, which is notably hard to pull off.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let a square melt slowly so the spices arrive in their proper order and the cayenne warmth builds at the end. It's the natural companion to a cup of actual chai or a spiced black tea, doubling down on the theme, and it's lovely beside a mulled wine or a dark rum on a cold evening. For contrast, a scoop of vanilla ice cream turns it into an instant dessert. A standout gift for the tea drinker and the spice lover.
Summary
The Spicy Chai 70% is BOHO's spice masterpiece: a robust organic dark carrying a properly balanced six-spice chai blend with a whisper of heat, made vegan and from scratch in Massachusetts, and recognised by the ICA, the Academy of Chocolate and the Good Food Awards alike. Warming, layered and genuinely distinctive — the dark bar to reach for when the weather turns.
We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.
How We Protect Chocolate in Transit
Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.
25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging
30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack
35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs
Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve
We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.
Estimated Delivery Times
Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.
Customs and Duties
Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.
If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.
Orders With Pre-Order Items
An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.
If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.
Damage, Melting and Delays
We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.
If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.
Delivery to Specific Countries
For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.
To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.
On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
