Dealing with cacao and chocolate isn’t necessarily trivial. I just received the following email from my friend Carlos of Danta Chocolate in Guatemala, who makes my Tikal, I’x Jaguar, and Finca Los Ujuxtes White chocolates. There’s been no nationwide or international mail service in Guatemala for months…
I had a meeting yesterday with the Ministry of Economy regarding the lack of a viable shipping solution (the mail re-opening did not happen) and the prospects are pretty grim. The government is basically paralyzed and nothing is being done beyond the most basic of services. I know… mail should be one of those but they don’t seem to believe that’s the case.
I have about a kilo of Tikal remaining, and am a bit better off with I’x Jaguar and white. Might have to fly down and pick it up myself!
