It is not a conventional chocolate tasting. It is a guided immersion into the world of cocoa, from its origin and history to the cup. We work directly with producers from Peru and Ecuador and know the origin of the cocoa we taste.
We will compare three 100% pure chocolates to discover how their aromas, flavors, and sensations change according to their variety, territory, and production. We will also share what we learned on your trips to the producing areas, where we met the farms, the families who grow cocoa, and the processes behind each origin.
You will learn to recognize a quality cocoa, what to look for when choosing it, and the differences between pure cocoa, ceremonial cocoa, and the chocolate we usually consume. A close experience, in small groups, where you can try, ask, compare, and discover cocoa from a different perspective.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Walk down Jerez Street until you reach Plaza de la Merced. On the corner across the street is the Colón Hotel. Calle Pozo begins there. Continue down Pozo Street to number 9, and half a block from the hotel you will find the space where the tasting takes place.
What to expect
We will go through the history of cocoa: where it originated, how it spread around the world, and what differentiates one cocoa from another. We will talk about varieties, territories, and how to choose a cocoa according to what we are looking for, both in terms of its characteristics and the experience we want to have with it.
You will also learn the entire cocoa journey, from the tree and the pod to the seed, fermentation, drying, and its final transformation into cocoa paste or chocolate. A sensory experience to try, ask, compare, and discover everything a cup of cocoa can hide.
