Mix Tape Series
Sometimes it feels like Donna Summers and I are making chocolates TOGETHER, that's the magic of music, its ability to carry us away. I have been thinking a lot about our five senses and their power to heighten our pleasure in experiencing one along with the other. I wanted to make something for you that would feel collaborative and joyous; highlighting some of the things and people I LOVE.
So here at Only Child Chocolate, I have partnered with four wonderful chocolate makers in Oregon: Cloudforest Chocolate, Foxglove Chocolate, Map Chocolate, and Chakralot to create a Mix Tape Series. I chose all these makers because they are all people I admire, their operations tiny but mighty (like us!).
With the Mix Tape series you will get four distinct chocolate bars created with single origin chocolate made by four different bean to bar makers. Their thoughtfully made chocolate will be mixed with ingredients chosen by me to highlight their flavors. Each bar will come in a cassette tape case with a zine (printed for us by our friends at Outlet, Portland’s zine haven): introducing the chocolate maker; notes on the cacao origin by the chocolate maker; and the flavor profile of inclusions created by me to compliment the chocolate. Each mix tape will also come with a link to Spotify playlist made to be listened to while enjoying that particular bar.
I can't wait for you to share this adventure with us - put on some headphones, let the music flow and bite into a chocolate bar experience like no other.
