Current Mood: Cool

Written by Celia from NEWTREE

Who thought a chocolate could be flavoured with sun and freshness at once? NEWTREE has done it with lavender and bitter orange. Both these aromas have been traditionally used since long in the south of Europe for their relaxing fragrances.

Lavender smell is very commonly known from relaxing bath mixtures to aromatherapy. It is advised to vaporise this smell to create a warm & calm atmosphere. If applied to the temples, lavender oil is said to soothe headaches. Lavender is frequently used as an aid to sleep: seeds and flowers of the plant are added to pillows, and an infusion of three flower heads, added to a cup of boiling water is recommended as a soothing and relaxing bedtime drink.

Bitter Orange has a similar yet less famous history. The aroma is incorporated to food extracts for its appeasing effect.

With all that knowing, we used those ingredients to create our bars of a new kind. Additionally, we reinforced this relaxing side by adding to our chocolate a natural extract of lime blossom. Lime blossom has always been known for its relaxing properties.

That’s why we named our 2 bars TRANQUILITY.

So enjoy all your relaxing precious moments.
