Meet Four Craft Chocolate Makers Decolonizing the Industry | Eater
"Born from Mexican family traditions—notably a grandmother's champurrado—this Denver shop centers drinking chocolate and culturally resonant flavors made with traditional techniques (toasting cacao on a comal, grinding on a metate, whisking with a molinillo). It intentionally creates a non-intimidating, bilingual community space in Westwood with welcoming design, hands-on classes, and a hiring focus on local women and youth. Rather than emulating Eurocentric bar-focused elites, the business prioritizes accessibility, community education about origin and processing, and economic empowerment for its neighborhood." - Jinji Fraser
