The Hotel Chocolat Tasting Club

I have been a member of the hotel chocolat tasting club for a few years and although it is a real luxury who would begrudge such a high quality box of chocolates every 3 months?

The club produces a new box every month sent to your door with a tasting card and newsletter. As I am the only one in my house who eats dark chocolate I've set my subscription to once every 12 weeks.

Being a club member also entitles you to a 5% discount is store.

How easy was it to order?

The website is very easy to use to place your order or modify an order but you do need to phone up to cancel.

The club is also designed so that those not confident with the internet can order by phone and pay by cheque if desired.

     

Delivery and Packaging



The box arrives in a long box designed to fit through your door and the box of chocolates is wrapped in a cellophane sleeve to keep them fresh. There is alos a message for your postman telling them not to leave in sunlight!


  What's in the box?

A generous 'sleekster' box of chocolates, newsletter, tasting menu and score card.


The idea is that you have 2 of each chocolate, working through the menu you can then score each chocolate and report your answers on-line or by post. In each newsletter the results from each selection are posted and the best chocolates may be considered for the shop range. So as you can see its all very serious stuff!


Ratings  




Delivery - Delivery is included in the price so cannot be judged alone.
 
 

Packaging - Well packaged, yet just fits through the door!


 
Quality & Taste- Second to none, easily the best boxed chocolates sold in the UK.
 
Value for Money - Not too bad as long as you recognise this as a luxury item, yes you could buy a lot of cadburys or galaxy for £18 but you are paying for ethical production and high quality.


Other comments: The Tasting Club really is a unique experience and a real indulgence.
