What a wonderful experience! Anya led a virtual tea and chocolate pairing event with a small group and knocked it out of the park. Yes - virtual! Even though we could not be in person, Anya is so passionate, fun, interesting and knowledgeable, she captivated everyone! You will want to experience your this for yourself!!

Such a unique experience and loved the variety of interesting flavors. I especially enjoyed the background of chocolate making, the anatomy of the cocoa plant, and how to take what we learned to our friends and family. Anya was a great host and I look forward to doing this again!

Anya was amazing and lead a virtual tasting for our large corporate group. She managed logistics, ensured timely delivery, dealt through several bad snowstorms and did this all with grace. She did a terrific virtual session (not easy to do virtually with such a large corporate group). The team was incredibly happy and her passion for chocolate shines through. Thank you Anya for your talent!
