Event Options

Tasting Dark Chocolate
Ever wondered what the origins on the front of a chocolate bar are supposed to imply about the flavor? Why are some chocolate bars $10 and others are $2? Demystify the jargon on fine chocolate labels. The flavor of chocolate can be as diverse as the flavor of wine, and just as complex. In this team building class we introduce the spectrum of flavors available. Do you prefer fruit notes, or caramel notes in your chocolate? What does “tempering” mean, or “chocolate bloom”? We’ll cover all this and more.

Coffee Brew Methods & Chocolate Pairing
Does your office have an on-going coffee machine debate? We will discuss the three main types of coffee brewing, their relative merits, and show you how you can easily achieve your perfect cup with minimal hassle or expense. Each method reveals a different flavor profile from the same beans. And each one pairs differently with the same chocolate. It may not settle the office coffee machine debate, but it will definitely help your team appreciate each other’s preferences.

Drinking Your Chocolate
Discover the oldest form of prepared chocolate, drinking cacao. We’ll tell you the story of how cacao beans were first prepared as a beverage for kings, and then demonstrate the range of modern cacao beverages in all their delicacy and luxury. If your team enjoys history, this is a class for you.
