Maite + Francisca = Maitelates

Hello again! It’s time to put it together and get back to my good old habit of writing.. writing of course about things that make me happy, extremely happy, like all the beauty behind these pictures, like Maitelates, and all what that simple combination of characters mean in my indomitable- as Mo would say- life.

Yes, I tattooed Ann Arbor on my wrist.

Yes, I flew back to Chile

Yes, Francisca is the cutest (and smartest!) Maitelates manager of the whole word!

Yes I miss you all!!!

Yes, I have the most beautiful children ever

And yes, even though the whole move and life change has been exhausting and confusing, I’m happy to realize that there is one thing that makes me focus, relax and put my confusion together.. that would be making Alfajores from start to finish, as I did almost every day in Ann Arbor. I can’t help it!

And it is not about enjoying sticky hands or being covered in flour while you don’t even have a place to put your suitcases YET.. it is about creating with my hands, something that I know for sure, will make someone else happy. Cutting dough to bake it later, tempering chocolate until the right shining point, making Alfajores, brings my spirit to that sweet Ann Arbor in where I left unique memories and the most amazing friends.

M-A-I-T-E-L-A-T-E-S

I remember the day I put those silly letters together. If I only knew..

The magic of that funny name keeps bringing people together. The sweetness behind each Maitelates will make people happy forever, and that, that will always make me smile..

Francisca, amiga mia, keep it rock and rolling! Go Maitelates!!!! Go A2!!!! May the force make us all be back together!!

A2, Alex & Agnes, the soul of the farmer's market

Barbara & Michael, the sweetest reason that made all possible

Women Power!!!!!!

La familia Maitelates

La familia M & M

Salud!

Sandy & Atila, your everyday smile fix!

Steve & Fran, cool picture, cool friends!

Recap = Recapitulando

2011-04-10T12:10:00.000-07:00

I've been meaning to be a serious company manager, and I should at least try to tell Maitelates story using a business-y tone.... but, to whoever is actually taking the time to read this, hi, I'm Maite, and the last thing I am is serious. I have a PhD in loving life, flavors, friends and all kinds of moments.

Life brought me to Ann Arbor where Maitelates was born. Surrounded by an amazing community and inspired by local flavors, childhood memories, and a serious need to support my family, I took a dip breath and started making one of the most traditional treats from Chile: Alfajores. Alfa.. what? Yeah I know… unpronounceable, but delicious!!

MY Alfajores, which I not so creatively called Maitelates -a combination of my name 'Maite' and 'Chocolate' and a 'sleep deprived brain'- are filled with Dulce de Leche and hand dipped in good, good chocolate (not couverture!) that I myself temper and fight with every week…. yeah, it’s time for you to know that working with chocolate is one of the hardest things I have had to do in my life! What a moody guy!

If you are still reading (thank you!!) you should also know that Maitelates has been overwhelmingly successful in a very short period of time… hard to believe, but true. Still, all I really want to share with you is that this amazing story happened only because I was lucky enough to invest in the best thing you can really invest in: people, good people.

Maitelates is and will always be a combination of a delicious recipe, family traditions, good local flavors, lots of work, and most importantly, all the love and support of a whole community that I have been lucky enough to be surrounded with.

Thank you Ann Arbor for making Maitelates real and so special.. (if you read until here, thank you again!)

Sweet Ema... sweet life!

2011-02-04T13:41:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody!! Back in business!!!!! Happy, recharged and reloaded!!

I'm happy to introduce to you another one of my master pieces... and I'm not talking about another flavor... this time, all sweetness comes from a little Ema, who came on a cold January morning, and I'm delighted to share with you all..

She's the best! Adorable like Pedro, but with a special touch of delicacy that I can't just get enough of. Ema came dipped in harmony and wrapped in happy colors. Life is good, way to good and generous.

All happiness brought by Ema has made me wanting to go back to the kitchen and share with the world (thank you Zingerman 's for helping me with the distribution) all those sweet flavors that blend so nicely in your mouth after each bite of one of my Alfajores.
And because life is always special, I also wanted to share with you another sweet moment.... you all know that my Alfajores are all about family traditions and memories from my people and my country, so here you go, my friend Rosa took a picure of three generations in the kitchen (my mom, my Ema and my -big- self), smiling around that one recipe you all love..

Welcome Ema!!!! Have a sweet and happy life.. you are in good hands.... te queremos mucho mucho....

BIENVENIDA!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!

2010-12-23T11:32:00.000-08:00

This holiday season is and will be one to remember forever; besides a bunch of good and special other reasons, this holiday will be my last here in Ann Arbor!!!! The time has come for me and my family to go back to Chile. After seven wonderful years living in this magical town, this next June we’ll be heading back to our country. Life has been good and generous so far, and I’m sure it will continue being that way always.. life is just good!!

Through this blog I would like to thank all my friends and customers who made this dream -of actually becoming an ‘alfajorier’ , a pseudo business woman and a family supporter- come true. What started as a “what if” turned into a “wow, it’s working”, and ended up actually rocking this entire 2010. Each time you bought one of my Alfajores, you reassured and recharged my spirit, and here I am.. looking back… feeling so good!

Thanks Eric, Megan and Bob! Thanks Steven, Hilary, Rich and Helen! Zach, Julie, Diane, Carol, Jessica, Brian, Mary, Tim, Leo, Jennifer, Scott, Dan, Jeff.. so many names, soooo many friends!!!! Thank you Zingerman’s, Comet Coffee, Arbor Farm’s, Everyday Wines and the Produce Station!!! Thank you magazines and TV shows for making me feel like a rock star by accident! Thank you market vendors.. my dear Agnes and Alex, special thanks to you.

Now go celebrate this end of another awesome year with your loved ones. I’ll be doing the same with a grateful heart and the joy of the arrival of my Ema anytime now.

Feliz Navidad everyone!!!!

Happy times are coming

2010-11-19T04:21:00.000-08:00

Hola everyone!!! I just realized that the craziest time of the year is coming SO fast! My brain is still celebrating things from January! What happened this year! How come it is already November and my body has gotten SO big!!! Life is funny, you turn your attention for a second and trillion things happen….But hey! Don’t get all anxious about the Holidays and all the planning and decoration and traveling… Actually, it is pretty cool to look around and see how the cold breeze is taking over and houses (full of Kleenex), squirrels (full of fat) and everyone (full of clothes) are getting ready for the white season…

Personally, I’m getting ready for another big exciting change in my life. My not so little Ema is coming soon, pretty soon, and the spirit in my house is full of pink anxiety! Can’t wait to see her!!!

It makes me really happy to being able to share all good things with all of you…. Good news, good moments, good announcements, and of course GOOD MAITELATES! Make sure to get a “place your order” form at the market, place your Holiday order in advance, and that’s it! You’ll be done! No stress, no pressure, just joy… lots of joy, and good calories. Isn’t this time of the year supposed to be that way anyway???

Cheers!!!

2010-10-19T12:39:00.001-07:00

What a week!!!!! First, the miners in Chile coming one by one from hell to life! Then, my son Pedro telling my friends that he is having a baby sister, showing pictures of her and acting like a big brother: “this is my Ema”!

And now this….

Zingerman’s telling the world that what I do is a SENSATION!!!! Please go and check THE LINK .. This week will remain in my mind as one of the most rewarding ones…

Salud!

ZINGERMAN'S!!!

2010-10-14T06:50:00.000-07:00

Yeah, it’s true!!!! The rumor, about Maitelates becoming what so many of you wanted it to become, is actually happening. Good and important things are occurring. And, of course, I need to share the news with all of those who have been an important part of this journey, I mean, all of you!

Two years ago, I was just starting to introduce my Alfajores at the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market, when so many of you approached me and said, “This treat needs to be at Zingerman’s” And, as much as I loved my Alfajores and people’s reactions to them, never in a million years would I have believed that the “Z” thing would ever happen… Why? Well, I guess my brain was in more of a survival mode than a business one…
All I knew about Zingerman’s was that whatever they touched, it changed people’s perceptions. Was I ready for that? No… not really… I needed to learn more, to explore further, to find exactly the best way to present and represent and refine Maitelates.

After all this time, after all these many wonderful things that have already happened to me, the day has come. Zingerman’s is offering to the world my finest version of what you (yes, all you) tried and admired a couple of years ago. Go tell your family, friends and pets… Maitelates made it, WE MADE IT!!!!

Maitelates presents (part III)

2010-09-25T15:14:00.000-07:00

While watching the leaves welcoming the Fall, I thought it would be nice to squeeze the last drops of summer...
And what better than enjoying pictures of a lovely lovely family, that traveled for hundreds of miles carrying the name of that YUMMY cookie you all love....

Here you can see my dear neighbor, friend, helper and always supporter, Liz with her son Aidin (the next Beckham) and her adorable Anahita. The pictures were taken in Newport, Boston and Montreal (Canada)

Love you guys!!!!!!

Maitelates presents (part II)

2010-09-17T05:14:00.000-07:00

Hello!! Happy September!!!! I hope everybody is enjoying the beginning of school, classes, day cares, new jobs, new projects, etc! I'm enjoying everything as usual, specially the pictures of my dear friends wearing Maitelates shirts around the world!!!!

Here you see two of the cutest: Dianne and Francisca. Dianne is Agnes and Alex's Nemeth youngest daughter. Mother of two and the writer of the Nemeth's awesome blog!

Francisca is a special friend that has been always there to give me a hand when I needed it. She is the second aboard in Maitelates' kitchen, and the best knitter I've ever seen.

While Dianne took her picture here in Michigan, Francisca went a little farther.. her picture was taken in front of a sculpture called "the kiss" in Lima, Peru! How international is that!

Thank you ladies! Love you both!

Maitelates presents (part I)

2010-08-16T13:35:00.000-07:00

This time I have little to say. I’ll let these beautiful pictures speak for themselves…
Maitelates presents: MY FAVORITE PEOPLE!
Never in a million years could I adequately describe the feeling of seeing friends and good good people walking around town with the trendiest shirt of the summer… (if you don't have one yet, let me know)
Enjoy the pictures, as much as I enjoy living every chapter of this awesome adventure!

Thanks everybody!!!!!
Pictures: Pedro (the best) - Steve (goood friend!) - Bob (gran amigo)- Erica (best neighbor) - Zac (the tornado chaser) & Kyle; (adorable) - Deena (come back!) - Hilary (my dear Hilary)- Gin & Margaret (lovely couple) -the happy Maitelates family!

Sorpresa!!!!!!!!!!

2010-07-15T05:30:00.000-07:00

I’m back! Alive, a little heavier, and happier than ever! I’m expecting another baby and even though my body and brain haven’t been cooperating, my heart is full of joy and energy. How good is that!!! Another Maitelates lover coming this upcoming January!!

So yeah, life keeps changing and improving, and while celebrating, I discovered something big: as much as I loved the flavor of my Belgian chocolate, being sick gave me some extra time to do a little research about chocolate. My Goodness!!!!!!! How can it be possible that most of that delicious combination of roasted cocoa powder, cocoa butter and sugar, comes from companies that exploit small farms of third world countries? No way, I don’t want to be part of that! Nor my Alfajores!!! So now what? Well… I guess is not that difficult; it was a matter of giving it some brain time (pretty limited during these days) to discover that there are many fantastic options out there, fair trade options, companies that pay and respect the work, and workers, of farms around the world that make it possible for you, and me, to get cacao beans of the most pure and ‘fair’ flavors.

Conclusion? Maitelates is introducing the new fair trade Alfajores now enrobed in either dark Ecuadorian Mindo chocolate (a good amount of 77% cocoa in each bite) or Semisweet Swiss Felchlin chocolate (another good amount of 60% cacao melting in your mouths with a creamy aftertaste that you just won’t forget). Each one has its own fantastic story and attributes. Stay tuned for more detailed stories and information on both! I encourage you to try both and keep choosing fair trade. You are choosing the best!

Thanks, baby, for making me sick! heh…

Dark

2010-06-09T09:40:00.001-07:00

In the middle of the night, I heard Pedro saying WHILE SLEEPING “Maitelates” and I thought it was the funniest thing ever.. what am I doing to my child?

Dark was the night as dark is the new Maitelates enrobed in 77% cacao Mindo Chocolate MADE IN MICHIGAN!! Joe and Barbara have cacao plants in Ecuador in where they grow Nacional and Criollo trees of chocolate. Once the beans are fermented and dried, they fly to Michigan, Dexter, in where they are grind and pressed to become the most aromatic and pure chocolate I’ve ever tried. Just a little organic evaporated cane juice and voila! Fantastic chocolate! If you haven’t tried it yet, do try my new Alfajores dipped in dark chocolate. I’m telling you, they are to die for…

And oh! You wanna look pretty? Order now your Maitelates t-shirt! They are just cool… handmade cool!!

The three “J” travelers

2010-05-20T07:33:00.000-07:00

Do you know Alex and Agnes from the farmer’s market? Of course you do, they are an institution in Ann Arbor, the sweetest couple, a ‘must visit’ if you ever come to this magic town. They have been coming to the market for decades bringing apples, smiles and more, so much more to all of us. Actually Maitelates Michigan Cherry Alfajor is made with cherries picked at the Nemeths. That’s why it tastes so good. I could talk forever about this family but this time, I’ll leave the pictures talk by themselves. Agnes and Alex’s daughter Jane and two of their granddaughters Jessica and Jennifer went to San Francisco to visit and celebrate the graduation of Kristin, another member of the Nemeth clan. As you can see, they had a terrible time…. Thank you ladies for taking such beautiful pictures! Thanks for enliven the diary of Maitelates and the writer behind the screen..

The recipe of the day

2010-05-16T07:11:00.000-07:00

I just spent three days in San Francisco, exploring, tasting and getting lost amongst its food, its people, its hills and fantastic colors. And hey! I was pleased to see our local producers featured all over the Bay Area. I saw Zingerman’s yummy products, Al Dente Pasta, and yes, Maitelates! I’m still digesting all I discovered, all I tasted, and all I was lucky enough to experience. And if I take forever to process what I learned (which may definitely happen), there’s one thing that I won’t be able to get over: a magnificent recipe.
•a few cups of love for food
•a handful of traditions
•mix well with a tablespoon of persistence
•a lot of ounces of hard work
Blend well, believe in it, and voila, success will always rise in the oven…
And I mean tasty, delicious, nice glossy success, the success that you share over a coffee, the one that you make available to your community, by example, so that others can be inspired to try, and even follow, the recipe with their own twist!

Thank you Cristina (Kika’s Treat), Stephanie (Coco-Luxe), Brook (Dragonfly Cakes), Guisell (Sabores del Sur), Claire (Claire Squares), Caleb (La Cocina), Robert (Tcho) and the Foodzie team, for making my trip worth a LOT. Thanks for sharing your stories, your ideas, your amazing products and your good energy. Now it is my turn to put everything together, and share what I’ve learned with my friends, my family, and my community here in Ann Arbor!

Sweet and Happy Mother’s Day!

2010-05-10T04:42:00.000-07:00

On my way to San Francisco, I just can’t help but stopping and give a moment to remember and celebrate all the wonderful mothers around the world. Thank you to all the beautiful ladies, strong women, and hard workers that have given their lives for others. They make everything possible..

It took me a while to realize that I was no longer just me. After having Pedro, the whole world turned around, I had no clue of what was going on. But once it hit me, it hit me forever. From that day on, my mother took the most special place in my heart and I am grateful forever! She messes up, I mess up ALL THE TIME, but at the end of the day, you can’t deny it, Mothers ROCK!

Today is a special day. Today I remember my mother, and I remember that motherhood was the reason why I started making Maitelates.
To my mother, to Pedro -- that made me the happiest mother -- , and to Maitelates, the consequence of a mother.

We are proud of you!

2010-05-06T13:45:00.000-07:00

I’m stealing Obama’s words to congratulate our awesome students that graduated last Saturday! “We must embrace change and follow the lead of Michigan graduates who have changed the world." These are powerful and inspiring words, even for the ones that weren’t there, the ones that don’t go to school but do our best to contribute to a better society, a better community, and to a better, healthier and happier world. I was inspired! Were you?

And I was lucky enough to run into my neighbor Charnette Henderson after Graduation. She was proudly wearing her Cap & Gown, eating Maitelates, celebrating with her family, with all of us having witnessed her efforts and perseverance towards the final degree. Congrats Charnette! Congrats Helen! Congrats everybody! We are proud of you!

Next stop...

2010-04-12T11:08:00.001-07:00

Yap, still running! I’m healthier, happier and faster than ever. My brain is ready to think, my body is ready to move, and I’m so proud of both - my body and my brain. The best part is that this “running thing” turned into a “family thing,” so the “Maitelates thing” just couldn’t get any better…

Or maybe it could… heh. I’m happy to announce that two great cities will treat their citizens to “one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten.” One is our own local Dexter, Michigan, where CHRISTINE'S home-gifts-baby is now selling Alfajores (yeah!!!). And the other one is tiny little New York, where Dylan Candy Bar will offer handmade Maitelates! Couldn’t get any better, right?

Well… I guess it could. There are some new ingredients being "tasted" in the kitchen, and there is a whole new chapter in Maitelates’ life about to open… Watch out Maitelates-lovers, watch out...

I’m loving this amazing Spring!!!

Send me a picture of your best Maitelates moment, and win a free cookie of your choice at the Farmer’s Market. Now THAT couldn’t get any better…

Thanks Joyce for this beautiful photo!

Helen, the good Helen

2010-03-31T19:43:00.001-07:00

Helen is the name of one of my favorite customers at the Farmer’s Market. She is the sweetest person ever! Week after week, she visits me and makes my Saturday even better! She never leaves without getting her favorite Alfajor: Coconut. Again, she is the sweetest, and another reason why I love doing what I do.
A few weeks ago Helen went on vacation, and guess what she brought all the way down to the Virgin Islands from Ann Arbor? Yes! Alfajores! Check out the gorgeous pictures! One of the things I admire the most from Helen is her constant smile; one of the things I envy the most about her is how fit and healthy she looks and is! The secret? She eats good things (I can do that!) and she runs (I stopped doing that around 15 years ago…). Well, thanks to Helen’s inspiration, and against all odds, a couple of mornings ago I put on sneakers, and I ran. Too bad I had to stop after 7 minutes… I thought I was going to die. But hey! Who said it was going to be easy! I’m an expert in getting myself into difficult things! A little more than a year ago, I started a small business that had no shape at all… little by little, with an enormous amount of personal and community effort, I made it to this point, where my Maitelates are recommended in national magazines and TV shows! (go and get the April issue of Cooking Light, they look SO CUTE!!!) Therefore, if my Alfajores were able to get to this point, my body will be able to run a Marathon one day… With, that thought in mind and with tons of good advice from another couple of favorite Arboritans, I got up today, put on my sneakers, and ran. This time, I made it to 18 minutes and didn’t die! I wish you could see my smile… Thanks Helen!!!!! Thanks Barbara!!!! Thanks Michael!!!!!!!!

Go Maitelates Go!!!

2010-03-19T16:49:00.001-07:00

“Sweet Taste from South America”...... “Swapping Thin Mints for Maitelates”..... “Unpronounceable and delicious.....”

IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING???????

From my favorite local newspaper The Ann Arbor Chronicle, to the fantastic online reviewer Delish.com… all the way down to the national mention in Cooking Light next to Martha Stewart’s dishes… Rocking? ROCKING!!!!!!!!!

The hard work is paying off, and the soul of the maker is even more motivated!! Watch out Maitelates lovers!

“Are you in a rush ma’am?” asked the policeman the other day through my window… “I live in a rush sir, a good one though”. He didn’t get it… and I did get a ticket. Still the smile on my face was intact. And Pedro got to meet a real officer in person… “the police the police mom!”

Life is way too short … every moment is a good opportunity to meet someone awesome, to hear a great story, or to enjoy a cute picture. Every instant of life is precious.

Go enjoy yours with a good piece of sweetness brought from the roots of South America and mixed with local freshness, premium ingredients, supportive community and great family!

GO Maitelates GO!

To Angel… an ‘enjoyer’ as my father has ever been… Hasta siempre Angelito!!!

Thank you!

2010-03-07T10:47:00.000-08:00

Thank You. On behalf of Ann Arbor, I'm making a deposit on Monday for $1,050.00 to “Un Techo para Chile”. AMAZING .
That amount of money will build at least one house for an entire family… and even though that family might never meet you, they’ll know forever that no one is alone, that behind each individual in pain, there is ALWAYS someone willing to give a hand.

In a week, Chile suffered a double earthquake: one, coming from the earth, and the other one, moving the hearts of so many, showing that there's so much hope and so much beauty among the humanity… that there are amazing people everywhere....
After a living nightmare, Chile showed the world that it is a country with an incomparable heart that, while suffering, will stand up once again and will always be ready to help no matter what.

Thank you Ann Arbor for being a part of this recovery.

Our families and friends will be eternally grateful for the response of Ann Arbor to our call. $1,050 is an impressive amount of money that will always remind us how beautiful the world is when hearts arise and join forces.

All the best for you and your families,

Matias, Pedro and Maite
Thanks for your generosity!!!!!

Can we build it?

2010-03-01T16:27:00.000-08:00

My son has been singing Bob the Builder’s song, “Can we build it? Can we fix it?” over and over again the whole weekend...

Well, it’s a bittersweet coincidence. While playing, Pedro has been answering the question my husband and I have been asking ourselves since Chile was wracked by the most horrible and literal nightmare: an 8.8 magnitude earthquake. That Friday night we felt helpless and lost. Once again, Chile faced the unexpected, and has been suffering serious human, material and moral damage. It took us a few days until we heard Pedro’s message… but finally we got it! “Can we build it? Can we fix it?” YES WE CAN!!!

There is an amazing organization in Chile created with one major purpose: to help build and rebuild the houses and the dignity of poor people. “Un Techo para Chile” seeks to eradicate both poverty and the camps where people live in a way no one should have to live.

Recently “Un Techo para Chile” was redirecting all of their energy and resources towards Haiti, and believe me, this is the kind of people you want to have around. Good good good people.

Being here is not easy while knowing all your loved ones are having a hard time; being here is even harder when you see the images of your destroyed country. That’s why my family and I ask for your help once again.

How? Let’s put together some money for “Un Techo para Chile”. Three easy ways:

- Make a direct donation through this Bank Account.

- Come visit me and make a donation on Saturday at the Farmer’s Market.

I ask you one more time to ignore the economic crisis and donate to this cause. It is critical to contribute. Good and hard worker hands will get our donations, and good things will come after that. They are already working tireless

Help us, help them, help the people from Chile. Please!

Thanks so much,

Maite and family

To Ana

2010-02-24T16:19:00.000-08:00

With deep respect, I’m writing a special blog today, dedicated entirely to a beautiful little girl that plays with white balloons in heaven. Ana, through my words, let me be your voice today. Let me tell your story so people can learn more on how beautiful life is when, together, we help.

Waiting for a heart, two years ago, on a day like today, Ana left us. She was the most beautiful little baby.

In Ana’s honor, her parents, Victor and Brenda, are working hard creating awareness on the importance of organ donation. There is much misunderstanding and disinformation on this topic, and there so much we can do!!! Please go to the Gift of Life Michigan and learn more about Donation.

As Maitelates, I am constantly amazed at how community affects people’s lives. I even believe that I am a good example of how community support and community help can change someone’s (mine) life.

Let’s do it again. Let’s honor Ana and the beautiful legacy her parents are creating, by helping to change someone else’s life.

Please visit my table at the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market and make a donation to Gift of Life Michigan in Ana’s name. All participants will get a free Maitelates Alfajor; all participants will be helping so much.

Thanks in advance!!! I know my people. I know we’ll make it!

Con cariño para ustedes, Victor, Brenda y Lia (Febrero 25, 2010)

Once upon a star!

2010-02-10T17:14:00.000-08:00

My heart almost dropped when I saw my Maitelates Alfajores featured in the center of the CBS Early Morning Show table on Tuesday, as they displayed online Valentine’s gifts.
All of these images came to my mind at once: I thought about the moments when I used to watch my relatives stirring the pot of hot sugary milk; I thought of all those hours in the kitchen by myself baking, dipping, and wrapping; I thought of the people supporting this dream of becoming a real ALFAJORIER (yes, I’ve invented the word for what I am!); I thought of the day my first cookie was sold (to Rebecca!) at the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market; I thought of my family; I was just happy. Wow! To be honest, I couldn’t really hear the lady talking about these good Valentine’s gift ideas. I was just looking at the table, and staring at the center plate full of Maitelates. Was it really happening?? Someone told me once that one day I was going to be famous. I laughed then. I will never be famous, but I’m glad my Alfajores are. They are the stars of this show, and I’m loving it! Thank you Ann Arbor, Chile, and Richmond, for your love and support. We made it!
I’ll be having a Special Valentine Gift for you this upcoming Saturday at the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market. Guess what Organic Stone Ground Chocolate I’ll be featuring… Yes!!! TAZA! Come, get your Maitelates Taza Special Edition this Saturday: feel, taste, and share the love!
