Our Chocolate
Is a sacred union
of the senses:
It unifies body and spirit. Grounding you in your senses while elevating your spirit through the tasting experience.
Blends healing herbs with quality cacao from
around the globe
We get our cacao from the source and have watched and participated in the process of fermentation and drying of the cacao beans.
Creates an experience beyond taste
Taste is just one component of our experience. When committing to our chocolate experience, you go deeper.
Supports small,

From the cacao to the herbs, we always seek out family-owned farms to work with.

Meditations
Whether you’re new to meditation, or you’re
simply looking to add variety to your mindfulness
practice, chocolate meditation is one of the most
delightful and delicious forms of meditation.
Chocolate meditation may sound like a
self-indulgent practice, but it serves a
deeper purpose.
About Us
We started this journey in 2013. We had an idea about making a chocolate box that was also a chocolate meditation. Four chocolate alchemists worked out the recipes over 5 years until it was just right. In 2018 Kian and Ayomide opened up Portland Chocolate Laboratory and Milieu Collective. They filled the space with other makers and the business thrived.
With the support of their many fans and the Sellwood neighborhood, it has become a successful endeavor.

There’s something about chocolate that feels and tastes like a Marriage of Heaven & Earth: The nutrient-rich mud of sweet terra firma meets the high heavenly flavor of Love, which alchemizes on the tongue & sends terrific waves of bliss upward to the brain, downward to the gut, and outward to the surface of the skin. Chocolate tastes like a holy confection – a sacred sacrament. And indeed, that’s how it’s been used historically.
