The GOOD MIX BAR is a collaboration Valerie Confections and Commune Design—the celebrated Los Angeles design studio known for holistic, community-driven creativity across architecture, interiors, and product design. This partnership, spanning over 20 years, brings together they shared values of craftsmanship, collaboration, and conscious creation in a bar that's as thoughtfully designed as it is delicious.

The Commune Tea Bar embodies Commune's philosophy that authentic creativity comes from collaboration. The 61% bittersweet chocolate provides a rich, sophisticated base that allows the tea infusion to shine. Sencha green tea from Kagoshima, Japan brings grassy, vegetal notes, while sage adds earthy depth. Lemon peel contributes bright citrus, and peppermint offers cooling freshness. Together, they create a deeply aromatic chocolate experience that's calming, clean, and quietly invigorating—a meditation in chocolate form.
