Organic Seed and Bean is considered one of UK's most ethical chocolate brands that has recently re-branded their product with ‘Kaleidoscopic Moments of Pleasure’ a campaign that showcases their unique and socially conscious product.

This [colorful packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seattle-chocolate) was conceived by the creative team at Family consultants and was meant to appeal to a younger audience who is more in tune with graphic design and visually interesting packaging.

Organic Seed and Bean's mission statement is to create "[ethical, sustainable and delicious British chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coxco-cacao)." The chocolate manufacturer creates their indulgent treats using organic ingredients that are inspired by nature. Some of their most popular products include a [Sicilian Hazelnut flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pip-nut-chocolate-hazelnut-spread) along with a Cornish Sea Salt and Lime treat that is a little more unexpected.
