Small cocoa and chocolate tasting on CDMX with local talk
Overview
What distinguishes us is the authenticity and closeness of the experience. Instead of a massive or commercial tour, we offer an intimate encounter where the protagonist is real chocolate.
The main difference is that you not only come to eat, but to understand the product : we teach you to read the labels and recognize quality cocoa so that, in the future, you know what you are buying. In addition, we move away from exaggerated scripts; we prefer an honest chat where we resolve your doubts while enjoying a drink prepared to your personal taste (hot or cold) in traditional clay containers. It is an authentic and delicious break in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Mexico City.
What's Included
- Cocoa and derivatives.
- Private transportation

What To Expect
Learn the real taste of Oaxaca at CDMX
We invite you to a talk and tasting focused on artisan chocolate from Oaxaca. Although we are in Mexico City, we bring the product directly from this region, famous for its chocolate tradition. The idea is to have a pleasant time learning to differentiate a commercial chocolate from an authentic and artisan one.
What will we do during the activity?
We will focus on testing and knowing the product in a simple way. During the session, we will try different varieties so that you will notice how the flavor changes according to the percentage of cocoa and sugar:
• Pure cocoa (0% sugar): To know the natural flavor of the grain.
• 70% cocoa bar : An intermediate point with a balanced taste.
We will talk briefly about the origin of cocoa and how it is transformed into chocolate. We will use some typical clay pieces to serve, showing the everyday way it is enjoyed in Mexico, without complications.
Your personalized drink
Finally, we will prepare a cup of chocolate at the moment. You can choose whether you prefer hot or cold. It is a practical and real experience to know the richness of Mexican chocolate in a close and honest way.
