SATURDAY NIGHT SAMPLER.
STEVE: ONE OF CHICAGO'S PREMIER
COFFEE IMPORTERS AND ROASTERS,
DARK MATTER, HAS A HALF DOZEN
STORES AROUND THE CITY DEDICATED
TO THE ARTISAN APPROACH TO
COFFEE, BUT THEIR LATEST STORE
HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
EMPHASIS.
>> WE ARE FOCUSING ON A LOT OF
MEXICAN FLAVORS.
WE ARE FEATURING A BRAND OF
CHOCOLATE FROM MEXICO CITY.
WE ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON
INFLUENCING OTHERS TO
RE-APPROACH WE LOOK AT CACAO AND
CHOCOLATE.
STEVE: THEY ALSO HAVE A TRIO OF
MEXICAN-STYLE OFFERINGS.
>> WE DO THE TRADITIONAL STYLE
DRINKING CHOCOLATE.
WE MIX IT WITH A DIFFERENT
PERCENTAGE OF SUGAR AND WE MIX
THAT WITH HOT WATER.
IT'S GOING TO BRING OUT SOME OF
THE REALLY INTERESTING FRUITY
FLAVORS.
STEVE: IT IS LIGHT AND YET
APPROPRIATELY INTENSE.
THEY ALSO HAVE A PAIR OF MOCHAS.
>> THOSE ARE LATTE-BASED DRINKS.
IT'S MILK, ESPRESSO, CHOCOLATE.
ONE HAS CINNAMON AND CAYENNE
ADDED TO IT AS WELL.
STEVE: THIS ONE IS IMPROVISED A
BIT.
>> WE ARE USING SOME OF THE
SWEET CHOCOLATE AND ADDING
ESPRESSO, SO IT IS A REALLY COOL
WAY TO SEE HOW CACAO AND COFFEE
GO WELL TOGETHER.
STEVE: ONE OF THE REASONS IS THE
RELATIVE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN
THE CACAO POD AND COFFEE BEAN.
>> IT IS SIMILAR IN THE WAY IT
IS PROCESSED.
FOR US AS BOO REESE DOES, IT IS
PRETTY EASY TO OBTAIN THE
INFORMATION AND TRANSLATE IT.
-- FOR US AS BARAISTAS.
STEVE: IF YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE
EVEN IN THE LEAST, IMAGINE HOW
GOOD IT CAN BE WHEN PAIRED WITH
THESE EXQUISITE COFFEE BEANS.
RAVI: THANKS VERY MUCH.
STEVE SAYS THE STORE SHIFTED TO
MOBILE ORDERING DUE TO THE
PANDEMIC, SO YOU CAN ORDER AHEAD
FOR CONTACT-LESS PICKUP.
