A Bengali Refugee Makes a New Home at Detroit’s Best Chocolate Company | Eater Detroit

"An acclaimed chocolate shop in Hamtramck with bright pink walls and metal tables, known for artisanal, handmade confections and a creative, community-minded atmosphere. Production is meticulous and ingredient-driven: the team measures and mixes honey, Earl Grey tea, dark-chocolate ganache, hemp-seed nougatine, smoked sugar, and cornflower petals to create rectangular “high tea bons” — Earl Grey tea–flavored fillings piped into glossy dark-chocolate shells that are individually packaged and shipped nationwide. The kitchen blends craft and industrial technique (including a Savy-Goiseau tempering machine), requiring steady hands and expert tempering; the production supervisor can pour up to 319 shells an hour and is praised for attention to detail, problem-solving, and inspiring quality in coworkers. The shop presents as a warm, collaborative workplace—its founder is described as approachable—and engages with local initiatives such as an annual chocolate-painting collaboration with a nonprofit that employs marginalized women." - Nargis Rahman
