Our Bean-to-bar Chocolate Tasting Rules

Taste. Taste. Taste. It's the only way to learn. 

There's a lot to be learned from a great bar of chocolate. But there's even more to learn from one you didn't like. 

Be open, be curious and let your enthusiasm show. If the people selling you bean-to-bar chocolate are still snobby, they're in the wrong business. 

Always check our customer reviews and/or leave your own. Share with others what you are excited about, You also get the best recommendation this way. 

Bean-to-bar chocolate is more expensive than mass-market "chocolate" because it is made of premium materials. But just because a bar is expensive doesn't mean it is good. But most of our chocolate brands go through a rigorous selection process. So Hello Chocolate does this part for you. 

If you don't like the bar you've opened at first, taste it again every thirty minutes or so to see how your perception evolved. Or even try again the next day. 

Don't wait for something special to open a special bar of chocolate. 

A great chocolate maker is more important than the origin of cacao beans. 

Chocolate's number one job is to make us "casually" happy.  

In the end, there are no rules when it comes to bean-to-bar chocolate.
