Lucid Chocolatier

Wairarapa-based Lucid Chocolatier was founded in 2020 by Johnty Tatham as a bean to bar maker; meaning it controls the entire chocolate-making process from sourcing cacao, roasting it, grinding and winnowing, tempering and making through to selling. All Lucid Chocolatatier products are made exclusively from Peruvian cacao, which Johnty chose after analysing nearly thirty samples from throughout the world with the top three all coming from Peru.
