⨠Adobe Joyfest | Coffee & Chocolate Tasting Recap āØ
This past week, we had the privilege of partnering with Cinful Sweets to create an educational coffee + chocolate tasting experienceāpairing specialty chocolate couvertures with intentionally curated coffees from Ecstatic Expression Coffee Co for the Adobe Team for their Joyfest team celebration at Maggiano's here in the Domain in Austin.
Adobe Joyfest gave us the opportunity to explore a different approach to tastingsāone centered on bold, expressive flavor while staying grounded in authenticity, terroir, and intention. Guests were invited to slow down, taste with curiosity, and experience how thoughtfully paired coffee and chocolate can elevate one another.
A heartfelt thank you to Mary and the Adobe team for hosting and creating space for this activation, and for welcoming an experience rooted in learning, connection, and creativity. And most of all, thank you to Mia, my collaborator and co-creator of this tasting. The care, intention, and heart you poured into every detail made this experience truly special.
