Take Blenz Hot Chocolate Home

Monday, October 26th, 2009

At Blenz, hot chocolate is not just another cocoa powder or canned syrup based beverage with heated milk. Each serving of Blenz Hot Chocolate is a reflection of years of tradition and innovation. By using only the finest Belgian chocolate chips direct from Belgium, we hand-craft each cup of Blenz Hot Chocolate as a serving of pure decadence— a sensory experience.

Belgian chocolate is unique thanks to its superb quality ingredients and its century old techniques. The main difference between Belgian chocolate and other forms of chocolate is that when the chocolate arrives at most factories, it is in solid form; on the contrary, Belgian chocolate is delivered in heated tanker trucks soon after it has been tempered. The compression of time maximizes the aroma and quality.

Blenz has decided to package the Mayan tradition of 2,000 years with the Belgian tradition of 200 years so that you can bring it home. You can now enjoy the same luxuriously smooth and extrarefined Blenz Hot Chocolate in the comfort of your own home. Blenz Hot Chocolate is available in Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate for purchase at all Blenz Coffee retail locations, as well as many fine food grocers across British Columbia and online at www.blenzstore.com.

What is Ceremonial Matcha?

Thursday, August 27th, 2009
Best Award Matcha is the oldest variety of shade-grown Japanese green tea, traditionally used in Zen Buddhist ceremonies for over 800 years. Ground into a fine, jade-green powder using granite grinding wheels, Matcha is whisked with water to create a unique, beautiful and richly flavorful drink.Four weeks before the annual harvest, the tea plantations of the famed Nishio region are covered with tarp shading, eliminating up to 90% of the natural light. The tea plants compensate for this loss of light by increasing chlorophyll content in their leaves. Only the best hand-picked tea leaves are then steamed, dried and cut to remove veins and stems.

A little info on coffee from Brazil…..

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

Coffee was introduced in Brazil by Francisco de Mello Palheta in 1727 from Cayenne, French Guiana. Today, Brazil is the world’s largest coffee producer and is becoming a significant player in the specialty coffee industry. Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, and Mundo Novo coffee varietals are grown in the states of Paraná, Espirito Santos, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Bahia.


Today, Brazil coffee beans are not only used for coffee blending. We carefully select beans that will complement and amplify their diverse characteristics. This creates a smooth and mold roast with a noticeable tang that lends itself to the perfect after dinner brew.
