A few months ago (actually more than a few... I'm sooooooo sorry I haven't blogged in so long), I went to Taza Chocolate shop. Taza is this amazingful chocolate company, making organic, stone ground, INCREDIBLE chocolate. There are countless naturally flavored chocolate samples; my favorites are...
(something I can't remember) Chile, and Vanilla. Salt and Pepper was okay. Oh, and those were only their "Mexicano" chocolate wheels. There was a rainbow of bars (really it was a rainbow of FLAVORS, the chocolates were all brown), pebbles, and even tea. An other company, Mem Tea, used Taza's pure, sugar free coco nibs in their Spiced Chai Cascarilla. I am actually currently drinking some- this sweet, spiced tea is what inspired me to blog for the first time in evers!
On their chocolate tours, they show you how their chocolate is made from minimal ingredients; water, coco nibs, natural flavoring (think chile... YUM!), and a teeny bit of sugar. It is ground from rotating, hand carved stones, until it is perfect! I tried making their hot chocolate once (not very good) but when they make it, it honestly tastes like liquid brownie batter. So thick, creamy and rich! Incredible.
Taza has only one location (561 Windsor St, Somerville, MA, phone- (617) 623 0804), but it is a really cool place.
Lots of samples!
