As some of you may have heard, Taza Chocolates located in Somerville suffered significant water damage from recent torrential rains to its newly renovated facilities. They have asked for support by purchasing their chocolates. For the next two weeks we will be selling their chocolates at special prices. All bars delivered through the end of July will be sold for $4.95 (regularly $6.50) and all Mexicano discs will be sold for $3.50 (regularly $4.50). Order here!

During last week-end’s torrential rains in Somerville, Taza Chocolates got flooded out. What makes this especially painful is they just completed a costly renovation/upgrade of their facilities. They are on the mend, but need our support.

We plan to offer a special promotion next week.

In the meantime, you can visit their website to learn how you can help now…
