Bonn: Bean to Bar Chocolate Tasting in Warehouse Setting

Summary

Bean to bar chocolates in bonn with stories and tasting moments

You’ll taste an unexpected range of bean-to-bar chocolates in Bonn’s warehouse space, guided by locals who know every story behind each bar. Try as many as you want (allergy-friendly), swap reactions with others around the table, and leave with new favorites — or at least a strong opinion on 100% cocoa.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed walking into the warehouse was this faint, nutty smell — not overpowering, just kind of hanging there, like the room itself had been eating chocolate for years. Our host (I think her name was Anna?) waved us over with a grin and started unwrapping these tiny bars, each one looking a bit different, some glossy, some almost dusty. She said something about direct trade and how most of their cocoa comes straight from farmers — honestly, I didn’t realize how political chocolate could be until that moment.

We tried maybe six or seven kinds during the bean to bar chocolate tasting. One had this sharp citrusy edge that actually made my mouth water — not what I expected at all. Anna laughed when I squinted at a particularly bitter piece (“That one’s 100%,” she said, “not for everyone!”). There were no fancy setups, just a big wooden table and people leaning in close to sniff or break off pieces. Someone asked about allergies and they just nodded and swapped out samples without fuss. The whole thing felt easygoing, like you could ask anything or spit out a piece if it wasn’t your thing (which I did once — sorry).

I kept thinking about how quiet it got when we all tasted at the same time. You’d hear wrappers crinkle and then nothing but chewing and maybe someone humming approval under their breath. There was this dark square from Peru that tasted almost smoky — I still think about that one sometimes when I pass by the supermarket aisle back home. The light coming through those high windows made everything look golden for a second before it clouded over again.
