Professional Chocolate Tasting 101 with live making demo

  • Propaganda Coffee 209 West Pender Street Vancouver, BC, V6B Canada (map)

Enjoy a fun and interactive professional chocolate tasting. Learn the difference between the chocolate you know, and a new take on chocolate from around the world (various styles, origins, profiles). This tasting also includes a fun and interactive chocolate making demo where we will grind up some beans and taste some fresh/rustic chocolate.

Dietary Info: No samples will contain nuts or gluten (although can't guarantee no traces of either). Some will contain dairy. Please specify in checkout form if you wish for dairy-free (vegan), and any other dietary requests. All chocolate/cacao is sourced from ethical, traceable sources.

Includes: Flight of 16 samples, taste of fresh chocolate, flavour wheel keepsake, eductional handout.

This tasting is hosted by Geoseph who has worked in the chocolate industry for nearly 20 years. The tasting will be fun, interactive (come with questions) and beginners are more than welcome. There will be some music and time to relax and socialize.

Prepare: These are important:

  1. Be hungry! Being full impedes your ability to pick up flavour. Plan your meal after the tasting if possible, or eat something very light.

  2. No perfumes/colognes/strong odours. Olfaction is key to flavour, and this will impede yours and others to enjoy the experience.

  3. Wear comfortable clothes.
