    本文介绍了Theo巧克力的创立背景、产品开发流程、特色巧克力口味,以及其位于西雅图的工厂和全国销售策略,包括线上销售与分销渠道。

    My name is Drew, Zandinella Stannard and I am the Marketing Manager for Theo Chocolate here in Seattle. Theo Chocolate was founded in 2006 and we were the first bean to bar chocolate maker with organic fair trade chocolate in North America. We decide on our flavors of chocolate as a group. We tend to, we do have a product development team but we all get involved and throw out ideas and kind of see what sticks after a lot of testing.

    So at our Seattle Factory Store we offer a lot of really wonderful seasonal items that are favorites of the community but I would say that nationally our most popular chocolate flavor is our Dark Salted Almond Classic Bar because it has that really nice combination of salty and sweet. So my personal chocolate flavor would be our Dark Salted Almond Cups which are a little bit like peanut butter cups but they have almond butter and that almond butter is really good. So here at Theo we experiment with a lot of different flavors. Some of them work, some of them don't and over the past few years I actually tried a caramel that had some cheese in it that was a little funky, not so great, was roquefort, not recommended. I mean we have a walla walla onion caramel that's so good and people don't normally gravitate towards that once you try it. It's like oh it's kind of funky but like savory, yeah but the cheese doesn't work.

    So our Factory is located in an old trolley barn. I'm a big brick factory in the middle of Fremont in Seattle and we chose to be here because we wanted to do tours and welcome the community into our factory store to eat chocolate and learn about where chocolate comes from. So we chose Fremont because it was a great walking district and got a lot of tourist activity in the summertime so that we could welcome the most people into our store and kind of teach them about chocolate.

    We really want to make Theo kind of the All American Chocolate Bar and the way that will most impact the lives of farmers where we source from and by the most fair trade organic cocoa is really if we can get our bars into national distribution. So we have decided to expand as much as possible into grocery retailers and so far we haven't opened another kind of smaller confection shop but that's always a possibility in the future. We've just really focused on our national growth at this point. We have small direct customers like local coffee shops, bakeries, gift stores that will come to us and purchase chocolate from us. We sell a lot of confections for weddings and events, things like that and then we also are distributed by national distribution chains so we'll work with natural grocery distributors to get our product into stores. So we sell chocolate online through The Theo Web Shop and we do a bit of business that way. It's not as big as it could be because chocolate tends to melt when you send it through the mail so it can get quite expensive to pack chocolate with ice packs in the summertime or send it overnight to certain hot locations but yeah we sell merchandise and chocolate on our web shop.
