For my wife and I's Christmas present, we had a virtual chocolate tasting.

We had a drink to start (how chocolate was originally enjoyed), then learned about the history of it, and how it is made. We then had cocoa nibs directly from the beans from 2 different countries, and then the same nibs ground for 8 hrs and 36 hours, just to see the differences the growing and making process can make (and its a big difference)

Then, we had 4 samples of pure chocolate from different makers, and then 4 more samples that had different adjuncts.

Throughout the entire tasting, Geoseph, the chocolatier would give us advice on how to enjoy and pick up differences from each bar.

We had so much fun, and would highly recommend him and this tasting to anyone that likes good chocolate.
