Katrina Tip:
When drinking cold beverages, always taste the chocolate first followed by a sip of the cold beverage. This allows the cocoa butter to melt (versus freeze or harden) in your mouth during your tasting experience. Cocoa butter is a solid at room temperature and if it is too cold it can make your chocolate taste waxy.
Experience High Vibe:
Kombucha is a fermented food containing probiotics (live microorganisms), which are “good” bacteria and offer many health benefits for your gut and body. Cacao is also good for your stomach with the bacteria residing in your digestive tract that ferment both the antioxidants and the fiber in chocolate.
