Chocolate and tea?? We'll definitely need some expert insight to successfully pair those two. This is a combination of a kit available for pick up starting Tuesday, May 9 for those who register, and a virtual Zoom presentation on Thursday, May 11 at 6 PM. The virtual interactive lecture with certified Tea Specialist Danielle Beaudette, of The Cozy Tea Cart in Brookline, NH, will start with a brief background on the production of the cocoa bean and the tea plant, highlighting their similarities. Danielle will teach us how to properly taste chocolate, and we will finish by sampling five different teas paired with chocolate ranging from 35% - 85% cocoa, in the kit that registrants picked up starting Tuesday, May 9. Register using the form on this page so that you can pick up your tea and chocolate kit, and the Zoom meeting link for the May 11 virtual presentation will be emailed to you the week of the program.
Danielle Beaudette is the owner of The Cozy Tea Cart in Brookline, NH, and is one of the first 15 individuals in the world to be certified as a Tea Specialist through the Specialty Tea Institute, NY.

The invaluable information she has received from her travels to the tea estates in Asian countries, from attending World Tea Expo seminars, and from the Specialty Tea Institute certified educational programs has provided her with insights on the current trends of the tea industry and advanced awareness of the latest studies on the health benefits of tea.
