Thought I’d share my bits on the last couple of weeks. It has been and amazing journey of diving deep into the world of chocolate. Even though we are people who work with it everyday, it was exciting and heartwarming to share it with like minded people sharing the same kind of passion for learning. Thank you @⁨Martin Christy⁩ and @⁨Flori IICCT Martin⁩ for creating this programme to educate the world about a produce that is more than often neglected. @⁨L Nitin Chordia⁩ @⁨Poonam Chordia⁩ thank you for a beautiful start to the journey with Cocoashala and the introduction to craft chocolate making, it was eye opening to learn that if you really believe in something, you will always find a way. (I’m referring to those brilliantly ingenious machines we saw). And even though we might have had a really tight schedule, every part of it was super exciting enough to keep us motivated. @Luca Beltrami Go Ground Beans⁩ loved the hospitality at your fermentary and to know the story of your journey in India and the way it has become your home was extremely touching. @⁨Prasanna Gudi Subko⁩ thank you for initiating some of us into the world of coffee, with those numerous cups of great coffee and a super exciting cupping session. I will be reaching out to you on a regular basis now to learn more. 😜 more than all of this, I hope some your energy rubs off on all of us. It almost used to worry me if I hadn’t heard “TRINITARIO” for a while. @⁨Manali Khandelwal Subko Cacao⁩ what a lovely time we had at the mill, to see the journey from pod to bar, and experience all those chocolates to realise the evolution from one version to the other. The sea buckthorn almond cube is just ❤️ @⁨Zouheir Level 3 2024⁩ it was lovely to meet you and get to know you. I would have loved to spend some time with you before returning but unfortunately had to rush. I will keep in touch with you though, and wish you all the best on your revival mission. 💪🏼… will be waiting to taste some. And also for the Kona 😉 @⁨Giorgia Martone Level 3 2024⁩ thank you for the those lovely words. It was nice to be your short breakfast and tour guide, and to watch the excitement you had to learn about a different culture. @⁨Erin Seidemann Level 3 2024⁩ it was great knowing you, the number of different things you do and the juggling between the finance, pastry and flying.. phew! Just knowing about it is an adventure for me. Kudos to you! @⁨Xania Wong Level 3 2024⁩ thank you for putting your brilliant mind at work throughout this journey. It was fascinating to know how you shuffle between 6 countries. I guess me and Manali did get to see the lighter side too. 😉 the soft airport humming still resonates in my ear 😂 guess I’d be listening to more Cantonese music from now on. And keep up your love for good food and wine. 🍷 Hope we all keep in touch and meet up whenever we are nearby to catch up on these memories… Any time y’all are in Hyderabad, you have a home with us. – Chef Sukumar Maharathy, Manam Chocolates, Hyderabad, IndiaIt was a wonderful experience and very meticulously planned by the team. The journey has been remarkable and I can’t wait to be a part of the Alumni. I also look forward to taking up the course in other cacao growing regions of the world. My palette is trained, and senses heightened. The course creates opportunities to elevate and uplift the experiences offered to customers. Highly recommended for professionals in the field. – Chef Ruby Islam, Manam Chocolates, Hyderabad, IndiaI had an incredible learning experience with the IICCT, facilitated by our expert instructor, Martin, whose passion and knowledge about chocolate were truly inspiring. The course not only deepened my understanding of chocolate but also connected me with a diverse group of international students, enriching our learning through shared experiences and perspectives. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their chocolate knowledge and connect with like-minded individuals in the industry. Prasanna Gudi, Subko Cacao, Mumbai, IndiaHey Guys, Just wanted to drop a note to say thank you to each one of you for the entire experience. Martin, Flori and Nitin for arranging and executing such a complex number of variables to pack so much into such little time. To everyone else, it was an honest pleasure to get to know you, to learn from you, to hang out with you and taste so much chocolate with you! – Chef Manali Khandelwal, Subko Cacao, Mumbai, IndiaDefinitely agree with everything said. It will take me many days and hopefully a lot more sleep to process and remember everything we have done since it has been so much so quickly. But especially want to call out Martin and Flori for their knowledge, encouragement, support, and friendship. Nitin for having the unenviable job of organizing this logistical nightmare of flights, hotels, and transportation and putting up with all our jokes about it. And to all of you who live in country and have been patient with my endless questions about your customs and wonderful food and culture and to thank you especially for your over-the-top hospitality that truly means a lot and has made me feel welcome in each place we went. It is because of all of you and all the friends I have made on this trip that I was able to power through it and even look forward to spending time and chatting with each of you when all I wanted to do was sleep. As delicious as fine chocolate can be, it is the people in the industry that keep me coming back. Thank you all for your friendship. It has been my absolute pleasure to meet you and get to know you. And I hope to return your kindness when each of you visits New Orleans. Love to all and I look forward to keeping in touch and seeing what wonderful things you are all up to. – Erin Seidemann, New Orleans, USA.My fellow cocoa brothers and sisters, Reflecting on the past week, I’m filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the extraordinary experiences we shared.

Ruby and Sukumar, tasting your +300 products was an extraordinary experience that I’ll never forget!! Your creativity and passion for chocolate shine through in every piece I tasted.
