I have a number of new tasting kits to offer my subscribers in time for Christmas with a 10% introductory discount. This precedes the launch of a new discovery tasting box focusing on UK makers and an on-demand Introduction to Fine Chocolate course.



The perfect gift for someone you want to introduce to the world of fine chocolate: seven samples of white, milk, dark and flavoured bars from UK makers; access to a video teaching you how to taste, guiding you through the samples and introducing you to the origins and makers; cocoa beans, tasting notes, a flavour chart, and instructional postcards; then two additional samples for tasting and research. The box is designed for two people to taste.



Only a limited number available and last posting date is Monday 16th December, use the CESUBS10 code to claim your discount.
