tumbador chocolates by jean-francois bonnet
hey guys! i haven’t had a chance to go around the show cause it’s super busy but thought i’d share a few of my faves from our booth at the fancy food show here in san fran. it’s all on the ciao imports website…i’ve been trying to convince them to keep up with their blog but they don’t seem to understand all that it can be. guess it’s something you have to experience to really get it!
sparkling tea
fatty bars with hot chili, made by jean francois bonnet for zak pelaccio of fatty crab
organic and free trade teas
for me of course, the best is parisienne hot chocolate!
ok well i just dipped out to share a little of the booth and whet your appetite! i’ll be taking some of the samples to send out so if you’d like to try anything let me know!

Jasmine tea! It’s my favorite….the gentle scent of it soothes me… It’s one of the few drinks I don’t need sugar in….

Thanks for stopping by my blog too :)I’ve been a regular reader of yours and many other fabulous blogs for quite some time now, and decided to feel the fear and take the plunge anyway and start my own. So happy you called by!
