First order and first batch!
What a surreal few days!On Monday we got an email for our very first order...And 2 days later, today the first batch arrived into Hong Kong! Joyce opened up a carton and checked the chocolate, and it tasted and looked oh so fine! (big relief - no melting or weirdness happening) It was a team effort to get things together, couldn't have done it without the plant-powered muscle movers... thanks guys! Kinda crazy to think this was just an idea a short number of months ago, now it's oh so real...#OneStepCloser #BiteForWhatsRight!

Ep 4 - Finding a Factory
Time to seek out a unicorn. A unicorn in the form of the perfect chocolate co-packer to manufacture our product. This'll be interesting...

Snappy name for the company? Yup. Actual idea for the first product? Yeah I should get onto that...
