Program Description

Event Details

In this fun, educational 1 hour workshop, participants will hear about the health benefits of both dark chocolate and quality teas, along with ways to incorporate them into their lifestyle.

We will pair three teas with three different varieties of chocolate throughout the class. Each person will receive a tea aroma tasting wheel to help with the tasting.

The history of both tea and chocolate and its pioneers will be discussed. How the cacao bean and the tea leaf transform into chocolate and tea respectively is also highlighted.

We’ll discuss how to create a “proper cuppa”, and note the tenets of the Japanese Tea ceremony and the Chinese Gongfu Cha ceremony. We wrap up the class with a fun, interactive quiz and answer any remaining questions.
