River-Sea Chocolates is an award-winning bean-to-bar chocolate maker. What began in a humble 100-square-foot workspace in Sterling, Virginia in 2017, has grown into a 3,000-square-foot factory in Reston, where we craft approximately 500 pounds of chocolate each day while maintaining the care and attention of true small-batch production. Unlike most chocolate shops, we begin with raw cacao beans rather than finished chocolate. We roast every origin in small batches to highlight the unique flavors of the cacao, allowing each chocolate to express the character of the region where it was grown. Your chocolate is crafted with simple, pure ingredients and is naturally gluten-free, seed oil-free and soy-free. Behind every bar is a direct relationship with cacao farmers and a team of chocolate lovers and Chocolate Jedi Masters who are passionate about crafting exceptional chocolate and sharing it with the world.
