Haiti is here: each of 4 newly available award-winning #askanyachocolate cacao harvests tells a unique story, such as the December 27, 2016 cacao shown here: mild, non-bitter, clean, with gently complex notes of earth developing, and a soft burst of intrigue at the finish! #cacaobroker #ethicalchocolate

Caribbean state of mind: what an honor to talk with the Ambassador from Trinidad and Tobago to the US about cacao development opportunities, and to learn more about this enticing Caribbean nation, a former British colony, located below the hurricane belt and filled with biodiversity, such as that it is the birthplace of the steelpan or steel drums! I had some heavenly Haiti cacao in my bag, a lovely illustration of first-class specialty cacao for sure! #cacaobroker (at Illinois Chamber of Commerce)

New cacao available: award-winning #askanyachocolate cacao of Haiti, for chocolate makers and chefs! To celebrate, I put #askanyachocolate and cacao nibs on pecan pie from #thecommoncup! Email or message for samples! #cacaobroker #chocolateonmypie

Superfood supernova for breakfast: magnesium, iron, calcium, protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and vibrant deliciousness, because I put #vaicacaonibs and #harpermacaw chocolate 70% Brazilian Rainforest Blend on my organic grapefruit, and it's a beautiful day! #chocolatebroker #cacaobroker #eatingmyinventory

Theobroma cacao: hello from my old friend the cacao tree at Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago! I chatted with Conservatory staff today about pH levels and the effects on the tree of chlorinated/fluoridated municipal water. This lovely tree is a long way from its cousins in natural habitats like Ecuador, yet what a joy to celebrate the source of all chocolate, and to see children on school field trips and other visitors who can learn about and be inspired by the agricultural aspects of nature's perfect food! #hothouseflowers #springflowers #cacaobroker (at Garfield Park Conservatory)

Vietnam in America: cacao from the Dak Lak region has arrived, with unique and delicate flavors of earth, nut / peanut, coconut, and malt, non-bitter, non-astringent! #cacaobroker

Cacao! Quick notes on super clean and elegant new #buenanotaimports beans from Costa Rica: Turrialba - gentle, some light acid, earthy; and Talamanca - super gentle start, nutty, low acid. Chocolate's magic building block, and nature's perfect food! #cacaobroker (at Chocolate Uplift)

What a thrill to sample delicious bean-to-bar chocolate prototypes by amazing @michellebysweets507, using elegant Costa Rica cacao from @buenanotaimports! An esteemed pastry chef and chocolatier who has now added chocolate maker to her accomplishments and passions, Michelle's craft chocolate bars will support charities and social justice with every bite! New packaging is coming for these dark and dark milk bars -- which present as sophisticated yet accessible, with gentle flavor, a touch of fruitiness, and creamy mouthfeel, plus a nice milk tang from the dark milk -- for the post-prototype phase of the adventure! Onward and upward! #upliftthroughchocolate #chocolatebroker #cacaobroker (at Chocolate Uplift)
