The Cacao Spiritus Club will be the best club you EVER joined.


Every season has something to say.
The Cacao Spiritus Club
Cacao Spiritus™ is not simply a chocolate subscription. It is a monthly sensory practice designed to awaken perception, imagination, and inner knowing.
Each seasonal collection unites original chocolates with the Museletter, guided audio, ritual prompts, breathwork, botanical, and a private playlist. Together, these elements invite the body to slow down, quiet the noise, and open into a state of deeper presence.
Created exclusively for Club members and never repeated in precisely the same form, each collection exists only for its season. When that moment in nature passes, the experience passes with it.
One Year. Twelve Collections.
Explore the Year of Collections
Every collection belongs to a single moment in the year. Browse the collections below and see how rare botanicals, seasonal harvests, and extraordinary ingredients shape a completely different experience each month.

August
Blackberry · Violette Fig · Red Currant
Late summer at its fullest expression: sun-ripened blackberry, white peach, perfumed violette fig, osmanthus, raspberry, and tart red currant, lifted by the warmth of black pepper. A luminous portrait of the season in full abundance.

September
Black Sesame · Grape Must · Piemonte Hazelnut
September marks the turn toward autumn. Black sesame, grape must, and Piemonte hazelnut bring toasted depth and richness as the season begins to move inward.

October
Black Cardamom · Pumpkin · Quince
October moves into darker territory. Smoky black cardamom, autumn pumpkin, and fragrant quince evoke fire, harvest, and transformation as the season descends toward winter.

November
Cranberry · Kashmiri Saffron · Omani Date
November gathers warmth against the coming cold. Tart cranberry, rare Kashmiri saffron, and deeply sweet Omani date create a collection shaped by harvest, memory, and the richness of the season drawing inward.

December
Frankincense Honey · Spruce Tips · Black Mint
Winter arrives in resin, evergreen, and crystalline freshness. Frankincense honey, aromatic spruce tips, and cooling black mint create a collection shaped by the profound stillness and clarity of the year's final season.

January
Japanese Iyokan · White Turmeric · Meyer Lemon
January begins in brightness. Fragrant Japanese iyokan, earthy white turmeric, and Meyer lemon bring citrus, warmth, and clarity to a collection created for the clean beginning of a new year.

February
Damascene Rose · Marasca Cherry · Purple Corn
February unfolds in deep florals and rich fruit. Damascene rose, dark Marasca cherry, and purple corn create a collection layered with perfume, intensity, and unexpected depth.

March
Sicilian Bergamot · Lemon Balm · Bronte Pistachio
The first signs of spring arrive through citrus, herbs, and the richness of Sicily. Sicilian bergamot and lemon balm bring aromatic brightness, while prized Bronte pistachio adds depth to the awakening season.

April
Cherry Blossom · Rhubarb · Elderflower
April captures spring in bloom. Delicate cherry blossom and elderflower meet the vivid tartness of rhubarb in a collection shaped by petals, new growth, and the fleeting beauty of the season.

May
Kesar Mango · Galupa Passionfruit · Green Walnut
May moves toward warmth with lush fruit and green complexity. Kesar mango and Galupa passionfruit bring concentrated tropical perfume, balanced by the fresh, earthy character of green walnut.

June

Early summer arrives fragrant and abundant. Mara des Bois strawberries, prized for their extraordinary perfume, meet ripe mulberry and delicate linden in a collection inspired by the first fullness of summer.

July
Bergeron Apricot · Mirabelle Plum · Lemon Verbena
July glows with stone fruit at its peak. Golden Mirabelle plum and Bergeron apricot meet aromatic lemon verbena in a collection that captures the warmth, fragrance, and generosity of midsummer.

For more than 25 years, Katrina Markoff has expanded the vocabulary of American chocolate through unexpected ingredients, global culinary traditions, and sensory storytelling. After training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, she founded Vosges Haut-Chocolat and became an early architect of modern luxury chocolate. Violet Flame Chocolate is the evolution of that work—uniting culinary craft with regenerative agriculture, ritual, neuroscience, and the intelligence of nature.
Katrina seeks rare botanicals shaped by a particular soil, climate, season, and lineage of cultivation. Some appear for only a few weeks each year. Each is chosen when nature determines it has reached its fullest expression.
Cacao Spiritus Club follows this rhythm. Each month, Katrina transforms these extraordinary ingredients into new chocolate compositions created exclusively for members.

Every collection begins with an ingredient worth searching for.
A Bergeron apricot harvested at its peak. Mara des Bois strawberries celebrated for their remarkable aroma. Bronte pistachios grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Bulgarian Rose Damascena gathered before sunrise during its brief annual harvest.
Each carries the character of a place, a season, and the people who have preserved it.

Calm the Mind to Taste
The chocolates are only the beginning.
Cacao Spiritus is a practice of slowing down, creating the conditions for the nervous system to settle and the mind to become more receptive. In that quieter state, we create space for imagination, intuition, and a deeper sense of inner knowing.
Because when fear becomes quieter, we can hear ourselves more clearly—make decisions from self-trust, take meaningful risks, and choose what is truly our own.

When the season has passed, the opportunity to create that collection has passed with it.
Its ingredients give way to the next harvest, the next botanical, and the next story waiting to be told.
