Celebrate the Lunar New Year with the exquisite James Jean Lunar New Year Chocolate Collection — a limited-edition assortment of handcrafted gourmet bonbons that marries culinary artistry with rich symbolic meaning. Created for gathering, gifting, and marking new beginnings, this elegant chocolate collection honors the Year of the Horse with vibrant flavors and refined design.


About the collaboration

The design features Jean’s Fire Horse artwork portraying a musician beside her steed, evoking a slower, lyrical moment before the mechanical age. The calm yields to dramatic transformation, where excess is burned away to reveal what endures, guiding us back to intuition, nature and renewal.

In dialogue with his vision, Chef Sandy Tran crafted a collection of bonbons that amplify the traditions and symbolism of the Lunar New Year. Motifs from the Fire Horse, including the musician’s expressive face, carry through to the bonbons, while fine chocolate is thoughtfully layered with fruit, seeds, tea, and even whispers of whisky.

The result is an edible celebration of the season, meant to be shared in good health, prosperity and joy.

Made in California with Care
Each bonbon is handcrafted with all-natural flavors and the highest-quality ingredients — best enjoyed fresh and shared with loved ones to welcome a year filled with good health, prosperity, and joy.

What's Inside

Cherimoya
At peak season, farmers market cherimoya is gently handled to preserve its lush tropical notes of banana, pineapple, and soft vanilla, then paired with white chocolate for a clean, round finish. Cherimoya is considered a lucky fruit for the Lunar New Year, eaten to bring prosperity for the year ahead and good fortune.

Buddha’s Hand Oolong
Farmers market Buddha’s hand is slowly confited and set into a bright pâte de fruit, layered with mountain oolong–infused dark milk chocolate ganache made from double-fermented Kidavoa chocolate and lifted with a touch of elderflower for a structured interplay of citrus, tea, and cocoa.

Double Black and Coke
Dark chocolate anchors smoky Johnnie Walker Double Black notes of peat, vanilla, and spice, rounded by the familiar warmth of Coca-Cola in a refined, bittersweet bonbon. A nod to Lunar New Year gatherings where glasses are raised and toasts flow freely, this bonbon captures the warmth, conviviality, and celebratory spirit of the season.

Satsuma
Made with whole Santa Monica Farmers Market satsumas—juice, peel, and pith—this bright, aromatic bon bon balances sun-sweet citrus with the gentle bitterness of 70% dark chocolate. Prized for their golden color and auspicious meaning, Satsumas represent a sweet wish for wealth and joy in the year ahead.

Coconut
An exploration of coconut flavor, this bonbon highlights the natural sweetness, light salinity, and creamy texture of young Thai coconuts, gently roasted and reduced to amplify floral, vanilla-like notes, then finished with a light dusting of kaffir lime zest. The coconut’s round shape symbolizes wholeness and family togetherness.

Brown Butter Pumpkin Seed
Raw pumpkin seeds are gently toasted in Sonoma Clover farms butter and ground into a house-made praline that’s crisp and savory with notes of grass and toast. This bonbon takes inspiration from the Lunar New Year treat tray where red-dyed pumpkin seeds symbolize abundance and longevity.

Ginger White Sesame
Bright ginger juice pâte de fruit brings clean heat and clarity, layered with a house-made sesame praline of deeply toasted seeds and sesame oil for a nutty, savory bon bon balanced by fine chocolate.
