3. Bean to Bar to Business: The Story Behind Soul Chocolate
“The majority of the bean to bar makers are pretty open to where they get their cacao. With Ecuador, for example, we got in through a non profit that’s the bridge between the farmer and us. The next goal would be to get a bunch of chocolate makers together and go in on a container, because it’s really expensive. Everyone’s going to be getting beans from the same regions anyway. It’s just a matter of putting your own touch on it in the end.”

5. What Eating Chocolate Can Teach You About Customer Service And Building A Great Customer Experience
Researchers at Yale, using chocolate as their study material (I bet a bit of that disappeared from storeroom shelves from time to time), recently concluded that chocolate tastes best when two or more people are eating it together. When the study’s participants (an easy position to fill, I’m guessing) tasted chocolate together, they judged it as tasting better than when they ate it alone. This held true even if the two people eating the chocolate didn’t share a single word with each other. As the study’s authors summarize, “Sharing an experience with another person, [even] without communicating, amplifies one’s experience.”
