Cacao Ceremony for Teams
Is your working day characterised by stress, deadlines and a never-ending to-do list? Take a mindful break with our cocoa ceremony for teams!
Digital team or group events with a focus on mindfulness... and chocolate
Armed with new chocolate knowledge, we taste the chocolate together, look behind the scenes of the individual manufacturers, discover and discuss the exciting aromas and your impressions.
