Do you love reading, chocolate and tea time? On Saturday, June 20 at 4pm, join us for a community gathering at the BookTree, Kirkland's flagship indie bookstore.
The event will feature artisanal chocolates from Fortunato Chocolate paired with LizzyKate teas! You'll learn about the three Kirkland businesses while enjoying chocolate samples. In addition to tasting the chocolates on their own, you’ll have two teas to pair with the chocolates. The teas will be either mild caffeine or caffeine free herbal blends.
Next Adam Pearson will talk about his book, Finding Fortunato, which details how his family discovered a rare variety of cacao called Pure Nacional in the remote jungle of Peru in 2009. You’ll learn about the many steps it takes to craft the chocolate from cacao trees in Peru to the amazing treats in their shop.
There will be time to mingle and shop for books at the BookTree. Adam will be signing his books. Fortunato and LizzyKate will have chocolate and tea available to purchase.
This is a ticketed event and limited to 30 people. The $30 ticket price includes a small goodie bag with a $10 BookTree gift card and samples of tea and chocolate.
