A Taza Tasting

This week, Somerville’s own chocolate gem Taza, hosted a tasting at Atwood’s in Cambridge for a robust group of press, bloggers, foodies and chocolate aficionados. Luckily, I was there, too.

I’ve been asked not to reveal the flavor options but I will say that we tasted EIGHT and I really loved EIGHT. Of course, Taza can only pick two. Without giving it away completely, let me say that some flavors reminded me of Christmas while others took me inside a Kettle Potato Chip bag.

Cannot say it all went so beautifully with my pint of Rapscallion but hey, I’m no complainer.

Get ready, folks. No matter what they decide on, it will be YUM-a-LISH.
