Out and About with an Airpot of Choffy

Friday was another successful Choffy sharing day. I had an appointment with a well-respected medical professional in my town, and we sat down and talked about the health benefits of chocolate while enjoying a cup of Choffy. Of high interest was how easily Choffy can replace one's morning coffee, and while providing an energy lift, does so with Theobromine, rather than Caffeine. This means the drinker benefits from a vasodilator rather than a vasoconstrictor. This makes it a much better option for those with diabetes or high blood pressure.

From there, I took the pot in to a local business (where I was doing business). My new customer pointed out Choffy is a great add to the Easter basket! What a great idea!

Hitting the Road with Choffy Tastings!

After receiving a samples request from a local restaurant, I prepared two airpots, one with Ivory Coast Choffy, and the second with a cold brewed Ethiopian Dara Kebado. It's always fun to see how people respond to our beverages, and this was no disappointment. The Ethiopian coffee I had purposefully brewed strong, as I knew the restaurant owner preferred his coffee that way. The point being an espresso strength "shot" can be made. Adding water in similar fashion to the making of an Americano creates what - in this case - was more of an "Africano". Cold brewed coffees are so versatile! and without the high acidity of heat brewed coffees.

Ivory Coast was an easy choice as it is our go-to chocolate brew. Grown in the Ivory Coast of Africa, where 38% of the world's chocolate comes from, it is a familiar taste. Our woman taste tester easily preferred this! In fact, I happily complied to provide her a refill before leaving!
