Just so you know, we haven't been blind to the new trend: sipping chocolate. We're as intrigued by the idea as anyone, we want it bad (bad enough to use bad grammar!) Here's the trouble, how? We've experimented with several of the commercial drinking chocolate product solutions that are advertised all over the coffee trade mags and we haven't been impressed. At best they were underwhelming, and at worst they tasted like chemicals.

This week we figured it out... we stepped back, stopped looking at the products and started looking at the raw materials, and it looks like we'll be making our own sipping chocolate in house. It will take us a little time to figure out the best recipe, the best methodology, the best way to serve it, etc. We'll launch it on February 14th!
