Chocolate Tasting Journey
$45.00 (30 pieces)
Take a journey to Peru, Madagascar, Bolivia, Tanzania, and the Dominican Republic as you taste chocolates made with cacao beans from each of these countries. This set of six tasting pieces from five countries that produce fine quality cacao was inspired by my recent trip to Paris, where I bought a similar collection of chocolates. It’s an ideal way to experience the many different flavor notes that emerge during the process of growing, fermenting, roasting, and transforming cacao beans into chocolate.
- Sample 2-3 different tasting pieces at a time, noticing how the flavors evolve as each chocolate melts in your mouth.
- Try the chocolates in a different order and on different days—your favorite may change each time.
- Invite family and friends to join you for a tasting.
- Pair the chocolates with wine or whisky and see how the flavor experience changes.
- Enjoy snacking on the tasting pieces when you need a chocolate pick-me-up.
For the holidays, the Chocolate Tasting Journey (available soon) will be wrapped in a handmade, festive cloth gift bag. (Let me know in the Order Notes if you would prefer a decorative blue cloth gift bag instead of a Christmas-themed design.)

Bergamot
Price range: $16.00 through $55.00
Bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit mostly grown in Italy, is considered to be a hybrid of lemon and sour orange. The oil from the rind (and sometimes the peel) is used to flavor Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas. These bonbons are made with an infusion of herbal, caffeine-free Rooibos Bergamot tea from South Africa, resulting in an elegant, well-rounded, and flavorful milk chocolate.
The tea is imported by MEM TEA, a local company known for the high quality and variety of its teas. Rooibos (pronounced ROY-boss), also called redbush or red tea, is packed with antioxidants and has been shown to have numerous health benefits. Tasting notes for this tea include vanilla, candied lemon, and orange peel.
