Presenting Nếm // A Palate Tasting Series
Do something together, while apart.

TESTIMONIALS
"Our {international} team {of 37} enjoyed a wonderful tasting with Wendy and Pauline. We utilized the tasting as an opportunity to celebrate a colleague who was leaving the team, but did not want to be the center of attention for too long. It worked perfectly to have the tasting followed by a quick 10-minute farewell celebration.
The teas and chocolates were beautifully wrapped and delicious – the biggest challenge was getting everyone to put them aside and not eat it all up before the actual event!" - Rachel F., Gates Foundation
For your next virtual event, look no further than Socola Chocolate. My work team and I recently participated in their chocolate and tea pairing (cosponsored by DarTealing) and truly loved the opportunity to spruce up a Friday afternoon with chocolate and tea and a surprise bonus of an activity game...all about chocolate {and tea} of course! Beyond that, Socola has been my go-to local San Francisco Chocolatier for years for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or just a box to hide for myself when I need a pick-me-up." - Krys Cooper
"My team participated in the virtual chocolate and tea pairing and absolutely loved it! It was friendly to all team members and Wendy and Pauline were excellent and well-organized instructors! They coordinated mailing 15 boxes of chocolate and tea all across the US and to some places with high temperatures! All team members received their box intact and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tasting. We learned a ton about making truffles and tea and were able to enjoy the delicious treats at the same time. Wendy and Pauline came prepared with a ton of content and were very high energy and natural over the Zoom call. I’ve already recommended them to my friends and family to use for their fun remote work activities!" - Maggie, Square
"Our team loved the one-hour escape that is the tea and chocolate pairing! Fun, informative, relaxing and delicious. Thank you Wendy and Pauline for being incredible hosts!" - Mary, LinkedIn
