Creating this first multi-maker craft chocolate advent calendar was my dream project. I am thrilled that it happened, that you and I made it happen. 2018 was all about this for me, and here I compiled all the posts related to this project.

Video series introducing the makers of the Taste. Better. Chocolate. Advent Calendar 2018
The advent calendar came with a Tasting Guide mini card that gives you visual cues while you are tasting chocolate. It has 4 main parts:
Part 1 – is all about Mindful Chocolate Tasting using all your senses
Part 2 – shows you the Bean-to-Bar process
Part 3 – helps you place your chocolate’s origin on the map within the Cacao Belt
Part 4 – is a simplified flavour wheel that you can use to describe main flavour notes and dig deeper if you wish.
