In this intimate evening session, Lisa will recap the process of how fine flavor cacao is developed into the best craft chocolate, review tasting techniques to get the most out of each sample, and share several incredible bars with you from her travels and personal collection. As a chocolate education, certified taster and judge for both the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate awards, Lisa meets with other tasters and attends international festivals throughout the year, meeting chocolate makers, cacao growers, importers and other industry stakeholders from across the supply chain. Follow the stories of these beans and compare the tasting profiles of these incredible artisanal bars! Each has been made from beans of the same region in Tanzania and traded by the famous Kokoa Kamili cooperative, but transformed into incredible chocolate by a variety of top chocolate artisans around the world. This unique tasting will allow you to fully appreciate the craft of the chocolate maker, and just how much each artisan’s choices of roast, processing methods and recipe, contribute to the final transformation into exceptional chocolate. Part Masterclass, part tasting, this evening discovery session is perfect for newbies and experienced tasters alike. Many of the bars you taste will be exclusively available through Tarts & Truffles, and each will bring you a surprising flavor explosion like you’ve never experienced before!

At the end of the tasting, enjoy a beverage of your choice from Poésie’s menu (coffee, tea, matcha, infusions, etc) to test pairing with your favorite chocolates or simply to enjoy.

A limited selection of tablets will also be available for you to purchase at direct rates.
