You step through a storefront door off the Beaverton Canyon shopping center and the room greets you with the warm, slightly bitter perfume of melted chocolate and steeping tea. Benches and stainless-steel bowls await; a table of spices and dried tea leaves invites experimentation. For two hours you become a chocolatier and a taster—measuring ganache, tempering, folding flavors, and cupping teas until a balanced sip and a glossy truffle are born.
