$69CAD (14 Piece)

Including 2 pure teas

~ 75 minutes

In my opinion, there is no better companion to fine chocolate than fine tea. This tasting we will enjoy a range of fine chocolate along with two fine looseleaf teas (such as white, green, oolong, pu-erh, fermented, black). These teas are unflavoured, which means the beautiful aromas come from the tea leaves themselves not from other ingredients or extracts added.

The goal of this tasting is to enjoy the chocolates and how they interact with the teas. We will also discuss the underappreciated nuances of unflavoured chocolate and tea and how profound the flavours themselves can be due to processing.

Kit Includes: 6 types of fine chocolate in duplicate (12 samples total), two fine teas (let me know when you book if you have a preference), informative handout, simple preparation instructions, virtual session info. Guests are required to have hot water to prepare tea.

Virtual Session: Hosted by Geoseph. Interactive, fun, educational, and includes music, images/videos, and time for questions.

If you have preference of teas, feel free to let me know in the notes section when you book.

$11 to $18 each

+ Craft Chocolate Bars

This can be added to a full-bar kit as an additional bar for the tasting, or to a sampler kit as a nice takeaway.

Add as many as you like per kit. It is a great way for your guests to continue enjoying chocolate and also apply what they learned in the tasting.

Bars will be selected according to any dietary restrctions (example: no dairy). Not everyone may get the same chocolate bar, and the bar received may not be the same as one of the samples in the kit. A popular choice is one single origin dark chocolate, and one milk or flavoured dark chocolate.

If you want specific brands included, you may inquire, but this is subject to an extra charge depending on the brand you prefer, and may not be able to accomodate depending on stock levels.

$15 +

+ Hot Chocolate

This is not your typical hot chocolate. No cocoa powder here. This is real drinking chocolate. Grated up chocolate for the very best hot chocolate you can create.

Guests will be given this as a takeaway, and will be given instructions on how to make the perfect hot chocolate!

$16

+ Hazelnut Chocolate Spread

This is essentially gourmet Nutella, and as good as it gets. Made in Montreal by Allo Simonne. It is made with real hazelnuts, fine chocolate, jaguar nuts (cocoa bean's cousin!), and is dairy-free and vegan. A lovely inclusion and takeaway for your guests.
