Slowww Melt
Tangerine Peel Osmanthus Inclusion 63.5%
Chocolates
Tangerine Peel Osmanthus Inclusion 63.5% from the Slowww Melt collection represents a unique interpretation of dark chocolate enriched with aromatic elements characteristic of Chinese flavor tradition. This chocolate combines candied tangerine peel with osmanthus flowers - a plant known for its sweet, floral, and subtly honeyed aroma - creating a harmonious balance between citrus freshness and warm floral notes.
With a cocoa content of 63.5%, it preserves the depth and richness of dark chocolate without excessive bitterness, allowing the layers of added ingredients to fully emerge. The aroma is dominated by delicate floral tones and the scent of ripe tangerine, while the taste reveals subtle citrus bitterness and the refined elegance of osmanthus that rounds out the finish.
The texture is smooth, with fine inclusions that add dynamism and aromatic contrast. Tangerine Peel Osmanthus Inclusion 63.5% embodies Slowww Melt’s philosophy - a fusion of local ingredients, artistic sensibility, and a meticulously controlled production process that transforms chocolate into an experience rather than merely a flavor.
Producer
Slowww Melt is a bean-to-bar chocolate brand from Shanghai that blends contemporary design with a deep respect for the origin of cacao. Founder Leo Huang built the brand’s philosophy around the idea of “slow melting” - a metaphor for mindfulness, reflection, and the sensory experience each bar should offer.
The chocolates are produced in small batches, using carefully selected beans that are hand-processed without additives or unnecessary intervention. The brand places particular emphasis on regional Asian cacao varieties, such as those from Hainan Island and Yunnan Province, contributing to the visibility of Asian terroirs on the global chocolate map.
Slowww Melt also operates a chocolate bar on Sinan Lu Street in Shanghai, where visitors can taste and observe the entire process of melting and serving chocolate. The atmosphere of the space embodies the “slow living” philosophy - savoring the moment, texture, and aroma.
Each bar has its own sensory rhythm, with aromas and flavors unfolding gradually, like a meditative experience. The brand merges local heritage with a global mindset, creating a bridge between Chinese culture and the international bean-to-bar movement.
