Our bonbonnières are inspired by a centuries-old European tradition, where hosts would present guests with beautifully crafted keepsake boxes filled with delicate sugar confections — a gesture symbolising celebration, generosity and good fortune.
Traditionally given at special occasions such as weddings, christenings and birthdays, these elegant boxes were designed to leave a lasting impression. Today, Rita Farhi bonbonnières continue this legacy, each one crafted from papier mâché and hand-painted, creating a truly unique and decorative gift.
Inside, discover an indulgent selection centred around dark chocolate coated coffee beans. Carefully selected aromatic coffee beans are enrobed in smooth, premium dark chocolate, creating a bold and refined combination of roasted intensity and deep cocoa richness.
This harmonious pairing delivers a sophisticated flavour experience — perfectly balanced, energising, and irresistibly indulgent, beautifully presented for gifting.

What makes the coffee bean bonbonnière unique among Farhi's gifts?
This gift is a remarkable fusion of artisanship and indulgence — inside a large handmade papier-mâché bonbonnière, hand-painted in the Farhi tradition, you will find 260g of aromatic Brazilian coffee beans enrobed in 91% dark chocolate. The ratio is deliberately bold: 91% rich dark chocolate to 9% coffee bean, meaning the confection is first and foremost a chocolate experience, with the roasted coffee adding depth, bitterness and a distinctly grown-up aroma. Both the cocoa mass and cocoa butter are Rainforest Alliance certified.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
This selection is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. However, Farhi advises that as the dark chocolate is produced in the same environment as milk chocolate, they cannot guarantee it is entirely free from milk traces — those with a strict dairy allergy should consider this carefully. The product is also produced in a facility that handles nuts, gluten, dairy and soy, so please review the full allergen information if gifting to someone with specific dietary requirements.
What occasions is this bonbonnière gift best suited for?
This is a particularly distinctive gift for coffee enthusiasts and those who appreciate exceptional artisanship in equal measure — the handmade bonbonnière alone makes it a keepsake worth treasuring long after the last coffee bean has been enjoyed. It is ideally suited to weddings, significant birthdays, corporate gifting, and any occasion where the gift must leave a lasting impression. No two bonbonnières are identical, meaning every recipient receives something that is, in the truest sense, unique to them.
