In this fun, educational 1 hour workshop, participants will hear about the health benefits of both dark chocolate and coffee, and where they come from.

We will pair coffee provided with different chocolate varieties throughout the class. Each person will receive a coffee-chocolate tasting wheel to help throughout the tasting.

​The interesting history of both coffee and chocolate and its pioneers will be discussed. How the cacao bean and the coffee bean transform into chocolate and coffee respectively is also highlighted, as well as exploring a variety of brewing methods.

We’ll discuss coffee’s timeline, how coffee is “taken” around the globe, the very first Baristas and much more. We wrap up the class with a fun, interactive quiz!
