A bit more about me and Exploding Tree: After working with chocolate for over 20 years I still love nothing more than chatting about anything cocoa—from origins, to ethics, to ingredients—so bring your curiosity to our workshops. From cocoa husk tea, to cooking chocolate, to coated cocoa beans, we are chocolate trail blazers and have experimented with most combinations always with global ethics and heritage at the heart. I have nearly endless stories to tell about the wonderful cocoa beans, so the more questions you ask, the happier I am!
