Coffee & Reading the morning paper

• Happy New Year 2021! It was a rough start given the events that transpired this week in DC, but we remain strong. Hope that everyone is safe.
• Now on to chocolate news/articles/trends, etc…
• We liked this article by Estelle Tracy on how to use a French Press for coffee, tea and cocoa!
• How many cacao beans make a pound of chocolate?! Wow! 5 things you didn’t know about chocolate, here
• Mondelez purchased Hu Chocolate! What does this mean for craft chocolate? Hopefully the brand can stay strong. Read our article, “Back to Human Dark Chocolate – Total Eclipse of the Taste Buds,” here. 🙂
• Duh! Consumers see craft chocolate as “exciting.” We already knew that, but fun to see.
