Piura Blanco Organic 2022 - The aroma is an interesting mix of persimmon and apricot.  

I am so bloody excited to announce we have a new tri of Brewing cocoa

Insert the question of your choice about the big headlines about lead and cadmium in chocolate.

Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? I know I am, mostly for the time off and spending some lovely time with some friends I’ve not seen in a while.

It kind of feels like 2020 has been an absolute roller coaster of dodgeball played with live ammunition. We were doing ok and then coming into the home stretch of the year is seems we got hit a few times.

In the attached, are the temperatures mentioned air temperatures or bean surface temperatures?

As promised last week, the two new crops of previous favorites have landed.

Depending how long you have been with the Chocolate Alchemy maker's family (yes, if you are reading this, you are part of the CA family), this may be an "at last, they are back" announcement or something you have never had the opportunity to experience. In either case, for me it is really exciting. It has been nearly 10 years since I have had beans from Venezuela and over a decade since I had the one from the Cuyagua region.

It has been too long since we have had either a new bean or crop in and today I'm happy to announce both.

A warm welcome and hello the new year everyone. I’ve quite a bit to let you know about so I hope you can take a few minutes to dig in.

This year, #AmIRight?
