What will you do?
We will start by telling you why Cusco cocoa is so important to Peru. We will start the tasting with a 75% Cusco bitter, we will continue with an exotic variety of local nuts, delicious also as a filling for our chocotejas. Once we choose our favorite flavor, we will teach you how to prepare your own chocoteja and while we wait for it to cool, we will have a snack from the menu of Florencia and Fortunata Café, where there is a very original gift and souvenir store.
We will also tell you about how Totemiq, our Peruvian art collective, helps empower local women, creating job opportunities and supporting the preservation of living culture in Peru. Before we return we will pack our chocotejas and you will receive a Totemiq designer pouch, with an augmented reality filter inspired by our Cusquenian folk culture.
