Joy is gratitude in action

— Chef Michael Antonorsi

Joy is the expression of the unburdened self.

Sorrow is gratitude for the past, Joy is gratitude for the present, Enthusiasm is gratitude for the future.

Here at chuao, we like to say that our chocolate is crafted with joy. But what does that mean, exactly?

To us, it means that we do our best to cultivate a workplace (literally named the joy factory!) that is as joyful to be a part of as that first, decadent bite into your favorite chocolate bar. 

We know that joyful people create joyful products. That’s why we encourage our team to join our group mindfulness sessions or take extra time off to attend a meditation retreat. But we also know that everyone experiences joy in their own way, which is why we asked some of our team members to share what it is that brings them joy in and out of the workplace. 

We hope that these stories bring you joy, and we invite you to share what brings you joy with us so that we can spread them through the often rocky waves of social media. Because one thing the world can never have too much of is joy. #sharejoy
