I had two lessons already with Geoseph and received many practical advice. He helped me to solve all the issues I had in chocolate making.
If any problems may come up in the future I would not turn anywhere else for help. Really appreciate it! Thank you!

We found the tasting very informative. Geoseph presents in a leisurely, friendly fashion with lots of opportunity to ask questions.
We found his enthusiasm about chocolate fun to experience. Sampling 16 different chocolate tastes and learning about their history
kept us enthralled.
We would recommend a tasting to anyone who enjoys new gustatory experiences. One doesn't have to be a chocolate lover to appreciate a session with Geoseph.
Geoseph bends over backwards to accommodate the clients' wishes.

We all really enjoyed the tasting. The kids learned a lot about chocolate and how to appreciate and differentiate superior quality compared to the average bar sold in big retailers. We will see you again. Thank you!

Spent the morning with Geoseph learning all about chocolate, in a beautiful venue in Salmon Arm. There is so much more about fine chocolate than I ever expected and Geoseph is a knowledgeable, experienced, fun chocolatier to learn it from. The taste testing was amazing, and I have already cracked open the bars I was able to purchase at the end of the class. Thank you Geoseph for all you do, see you again in the fall for the Truffle Making Class.

My wife and I had an extraordinarily instructive and delightful online choc tasting experience today with Geoseph. He's a master and a great teacher, and we came away from this experience with heightened appreciation for tasting in general, and for fine-quality chocolates and chocolate-makers. Wow!
Our beautifully-packaged box with the samples arrived in the mail a few days earlier, allowing us time to prepare and anticipate.
The cost? There's about $40 of fine choc in that box, not counting the shipping, so this tasting lesson would seem to be grounded primarily in Geoseph's desire to teach others about the delights of fine quality cacao and chocolate.
I can see a tasting session like this working really well for a small group, or family, with everyone experiencing the tastes differently. Order boxes for everyone and come prepared to learn and laugh.
Thank you Geoseph.

Did a tasting with Geoseph. He gave us a good overview of artisanal chocolate and it opened up a whole new world. Had no idea I was basically having fast-food level chocolate all my life. That's not a knock, I love fast food too, but imagine having a home cooked meal after eating Wendy's all your life. Great experience.

Always an absolute pleasure getting to eat and share chocolate with Geoseph. He is very knowledgeable, passionate and our experiences are always so fun and delicious! Don't look anywhere else for fine chocolate as the selection and expertise along with it cannot be surpassed. Thanks so much!

We had a chocolate tasting night with a group from work. I would recommend it for any team/group.

Geoseph was a great host for the virtual chocolate tasting. He was so knowledgeable and open for questions our group had. I really appreciated the paper resources with the samples as well as the link to reference the products tasted. It was a tasty and fun hour together online! I would love to have the opportunity to do this again!!

Geoseph introduced my peer group at work to the entirely new world of fine chocolate in a way that both engaged and captured us! The chocolate tasting organization was impeccable, his explanations were thorough and thought-provoking, and his overall presentation was warm and friendly! Being at a consulting firm, our members always need time to disengage, and if we can learn something new while doing so, even better. Geoseph did that for us and so much more! Thank you Geoseph on behalf of Deloitte Consulting!

Wonderful in every way! The chocolate was superb; ;the pairings were great, the on-line resources were fascinating; the product presentation and organization were terrific. Geoseph was engaging, knowledgeable, flexible and a lot of fun. This was the perfect birthday gift to share as a family. Thank you Geoseph! We are already talking about our 'next' tasting adventure. Cheers.

We did a chocolate tasting and it was very fun and informative. Really exceeded my expectations! Geoseph had a great selection of chocolate to taste and provided tons of interesting information about both chocolate making and how to taste chocolate (think wine tasting but for chocolate). Highly recommend!
- Kathryn G.
We had Geoseph host a Chocolate Tasting for our annual holiday party for our remote team members. Nothing but amazing reviews and comments from everyone involved! Geoseph was incredibly easy to work with, organized and even able to squeeze in a couple last minute participants. Thank you very much!
- Amanda M.
There’s so many of my favorite brands of craft chocolate here. I’ve corresponded with him for questions and it’s so fun to talk to him about chocolate. Wish he had in-person events again. In. the meantime, I’m enjoying his growing selection of bars and the great content on his website.
- Albert B.
I love the app!! Thank you for putting this together. It’s such a big help for me and all the chocolate makers out there trying to make a difference.
- Robin B.
If you have trouble tempering, go to Geoseph! He’s helped me so much with my tempering issues. So many little facets I didn’t know about, that I never read about in my books. He’s very patient and made me feel comfortable very quickly.

I’m not a huge dark chocolate lover, but I received a gift from Bean To Bar World from a friend, and they didn’t know I don’t like dark chocolate. I never had dark chocolate this good before! I always thought it was bitter and gross, but this chocolate is unlike any I have tried before. Even the milk chocolate bars are better than the ones I’m used to. No more Lindt bars for me!
- Devied C.
I just learned about the tastings here from a colleague. Geoseph was so professional and informative. My Team had an incredible time learning. I never knew dark chocolate could taste so good.
- Susanne D.
Been taking classes with Geoseph, and he is an excellent instructor! I thought I was really bad at working with chocolate, but the truth is I just wasn’t taught properly. He’s always available for follow ups as well which I really appreciate.
