The original name for the chocolate tree means ‘Food of the Gods’. There can be no better description than this to evoke the mystique and romantic history of chocolate which is as diverse as myths, legends and court intrigues to piracy and smuggling.
Starting from humble beginning as a Coca drink prepared by Central American natives in the 15th Century, like tea in the 19th Century, Chocolate's position became elevated to to that of a status symbol, to be sipped by the rich and powerful in the fashionable 17th Century chocolate houses.

Yes, we are a tea company - but in the course of sourcing our tea books, we found this one and couldn't resist it.
We think it's an informative yet light hearted read. An easy to carry little book that’s perfect for us chocolate lovers and those willing to try new ways of enjoying an old favourite.
And by the way, a square of dark chocolate and a cup of luxurious Assam, is a marriage made in heaven.
