I write a lot on here about Teuscher, despite the fact that there is no store in DC. Every time I get myself to a city with a Teuscher shop, I lament this unfair state of the world to whoever happens to be the chocolate consultant working that day. Evidently, I have done this so many times that at least one staff member in Boston remembers me based on this rant. Their chocolate is so good, though, that it's worth traveling long distances to obtain.
I mentioned the Teuscher 99% bar to another blogger who loves super-dark chocolate, and sent her some to try.
Not only did she love it, but she had the brilliant idea of combining it with coconut. You must read about it.
But how, how to get your hands on some Teuscher chocolate if you are in DC? Well, you could try to be friends with me. Or, you could get in touch with the Teuscher shop in Philadelphia, which is offering special shipping rates to DC-area residents in light of the lamentable lack of a Teuscher storefront here. Simply call or email Rachel Goldberg (215-546-7600 and rachel at teuscherphiladelphia dot com) and let her know that you heard about the special shipping rates from the District Chocoholic blog. I hear they have pumpkin truffles in stock for Halloween, but they may be in short supply, so call soon.
Now if that isn't just the best way to start a weekend, I don't know what is.
I live in an area where EVERYTHING is hard to find!! So not fair! We should not be deprived of chocolate selection!! Is that chocolate only available on the east coast? It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Tangy :),
ReplyDeleteI lived in rural NM for a year, so I hear you on having trouble getting things. Teuscher has stores scattered throughout the U.S., but mostly on the coasts. If you want to try some, give Rachel a ring and tell her I sent you; you'll get a break on the shipping charges. Happy chocolate hunting!
