Our philosophy

Craft tea and chocolate from bean to bar

Running Barbers Bean to Bar is a true labour of love for husband-and-wife duo Michael and Jenelle Barber. While Michael leads the creative process and chocolate production, Jenelle focuses on sales and business collaborations, including her work through Dartmoor-based Voyager Coffee, where they’ve crafted ultimate mocha packs featuring Barbers Bean to Bar Peruvian Mocha Hot Chocolate and Coffee chocolate.

Michael Barber brings his experience of 14 years as a chef, leading pastry kitchens and tutoring at the esteemed Ashburton Cookery School. His journey into chocolate-making began out of curiosity: "A student asked me how chocolate is made, and I’d never made it before. After experimenting with a small grinder to create my own chocolate, I realised how much more you can add to the product when you make it from scratch." Today, their award-winning range includes ten chocolate bars, seven hot chocolates, and four innovative cocoa teas

It's all about the flavours

Michael’s creative process begins with pairing flavours to the natural profiles of the beans. Drawing on his pastry experience, he creates combinations such as Coconut Vegan Milk Chocolate with Crystallised Ginger, and Orange and Cardamom and Mango and Cashew Dark Chocolate - flavours he loves and knows will resonate with chocolate connoisseurs. "There’s no point pairing coffee with a fruity bean," he says. "It’s about creating harmony." He’s particularly proud of his vegan-friendly popcorn chocolate, which he created for what’s inside the bar, not what’s omitted. The popcorn offers creaminess, along with salt and pepper notes for contrast.
