Chocolate and Coffee Tasting Class
Learn to taste chocolate and coffee the expert way! Custom coffee tasting kit and Raaka chocolates included.
What participants do
Can there be a better pairing than chocolate and coffee? Both are grown in similar parts of the world, the cacao and coffee beans have a lot in common, and the taste of each is enhanced by the other. Join one of Driftaway’s coffee educators for this 60 minute class where you’ll discover secrets to tasting chocolate and coffee, and how a pairing of them works!
This class is a great option to get into the holiday season mood, and a great gift for those who love coffee and those who love chocolate - and it’s especially fun for team-building or with prospective customers. You’ll be working with the Driftaway Coffee Kit that comes with your purchase of this class: it includes three hand-selected coffees from around the world, sampling cups, tasting forms, and a detailed flavor wheel. You'll also receive three carefully curated chocolates from Brooklyn-based Raaka Chocolate paired to go with the coffee.
Your educator will introduce you to the bring-to-your-body-temperature chocolate-tasting technique, and the side-by-side coffee tasting technique that pros use (no coffee maker required!). You’ll taste the chocolates by themselves, the coffees by themselves and then both together as a pairing. At the very end is the big reveal, when your educator shares the origin and profile of each coffee and chocolate. You’ll leave this class appreciating both chocolate and coffee in a whole new way, and there'll be plenty extra of each to enjoy after the class too!

About your host
Yes! We can ship to about 50 countries around the world for your international participants. Additional shipping fees apply and includes customs and duties so that the recipient does not need to do anything.
Note that we require 21 days for delivering internationally.
Yes! We do.
We're also happy to use your Zoom or another meeting platform if needed.
We'll create and share a form for you to send to all participants. It typically takes 2 minutes to fill out.
Responses come to us directly and we will confirm the list with the organizer before shipping any kits out.
We typically require all domestic addresses 14 days before the event, and international addresses 21 days before the event date.
Late additions and rush shipments are available on a case-by-case basis.
Yes! We will share tracking information with each participant for their kit, and also a master list for all kits with the primary contact/organizer.
Our goal is to ship kits so that everyone receives it 3 to 4 days before the event, and not much earlier (so that the coffee is fresh). If you have a group of participants distributed across the country, we'll ship the faraway ones first (West Coast) and the closer ones (East Coast, Northeast) last.
Once all addresses are submitted, we'll share a final list with the organizer for confirmation, and invoice via Stripe. The invoice is due in 1 business day and can be paid online via credit card or ACH.
Once the invoice is paid, we'll release the kits to our operations team for shipping.
We do not use your names and e-mails for any marketing purposes. We'll hold on to the address information for 30 days and then delete the files.
Google Drive's purge processes apply after 30 days.
