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.

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.
Tea culture arrived in the Pacific Northwest with late-19th-century tea traditions and has since evolved into a small-but-vibrant artisan scene. Chocolate’s technical side—tempering, bloom prevention and ganache ratios—meets that craft ethos here, with local suppliers and hands-on techniques taught at a beginner level. The class touches on proper brewing, herbal blending, and the basics of chocolate working, framed by Oregon’s broader farm-to-table food culture.
Expect a small-group, instructor-led workshop (up to six people) with aprons provided and half of your finished treats to take home. Practical notes: closed-toe shoes and casual clothes you don’t mind getting a little chocolate on; allow time for parking or a short ride on nearby public transit. Allergies and dietary requests should be flagged at booking; age minimum is 13. The experience is social and tactile—bring curiosity and a willingness to get your hands messy. If you want photos, early-class daylight is best. For a quick culinary detour in the Portland suburbs, this class is a compact, sensory take on two beloved rituals—tea and chocolate—with clear, teachable skills to take home.
