The workshop is made to be fun and interactive. We want people to enjoy learning about guatemalan culture and the history of cacao. The chocolate is high quality and natural. We only use cacao, cacao butter and sugar. We also have a cafeteria where you can enjoy traditional food while you wait for your chocolate to freeze. There is also a beautiful garden to enjoy a hot chocolate o coffee.
Tea and coffee
Coffee and/or Tea
We start with the history and process of making chocolate, and the impact of the Mayan culture within its development. Then we roast some cacao beans so that each participant dehusk their own seeds. With the husk we make a hot cacao infusion. The beans are molished and collected to make a drink with honey, chili and a secret ingredient, the way mayans used to drink it. We make another drink with milk, cinnamon and cloves, the way it was enjoyed in Europe back in the days. We proceed to a sample test of all of our chocolates, from 100% cacao, to 90%, 80%, 70%, milk and white chocolate. At the end, each participant gets 70g of melted chocolate to mold their own bombons. You can add different toppings on them.

Hands on, Mouth Open, Chocolate History Lesson

This was so much more than either my daughter or I could have imagined. The chocolate was amazing, but it was the tip of the iceberg. For an hour and a half we got a riveting (at times hysterical) history of chocolate, Mayan, and Guatemalan culture. Worth every penny and a great insight into the country.

One of a kind experience

The experience was spectacular! We learned so much. Jessica was incredible, very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the process, history and Mayan beliefs. I would highly recommend anyone to book this experience. My favorite part was that they did not try to coerce you into buying anything after your class.
