They only take Cash at the time of this recording peeps, but I’ve seen their products at Linda’s bakery and a few other shops throughout the island, will update this comment once I come across other places that have their products

Thanks dude, and welcome to the vibes
Great video 🤙🏽🤙🏽 so much to discover in sweet Tn T 🇹🇹 .
Yup, for a small dual island nation, there is so much here there most take for granted
Chocolate!!!!!!!!!!, Went they, well was passing through, didn't get the chance to visit, think around that time they had closed down, can't recall.
Thr sucks, once the gate open and the sign is up, they are open…although sometimes when you drive in it may look like no one is around, lol..hopefully you catch them open next time you passing through
Omg you found a yellow pod?! Looks like Criollo cocoa but I'd be surprised if it is! It would explain the faster rot though. Loved this drive through my favourite place for cocoa and chocolate
Yup, right to the side of the road and I didn’t know the criollo cocoa pod rot faster than others, wow, thanks Julia and I enjoy this drive
Great video Rajeev those were some interesting chocolate especially the cayenne and made locally that’s fantastic cheers from Orlando ❤️✌️
Yup, all local products that you should definitely try if you get the chance next time you visit, Cheers Nigel
Vibes, I can see that pepper chocolate deadly 🌡️🌡️🌡️🌡️
It wasn’t that bad, but that burst at the end caught me off guard

I am surprised they didn't make scorpion pepper chocolate.♨🥵🔥
Me neither, however there is a chocolate company in Barbados that has it surprisingly
@@TrinbagoVibes 🤣🤣🤣
Pepper and chocolate seems scary. If you know what I mean. Nice vid bro. That road need some love.
Definitely bro, lol 🔥🔥 in d… anywho good thing I went with that first and the others after, lol…and yes d road really need some love
Interesting bro. Never had that but looks interesting. Thanks for sharing
Thanks bro, if you see them anywhere, you should definitely give them a try
@@TrinbagoVibes thanks bro. Will definitely give it a try
Rajeeve another beautiful video! Thank you for being brave and trying the spicy chocolate. You handled it very well Lol.
Thanks D 😁
Lmao at your reaction to the cayenne pepper chocolate Raj 🤣🤣🤣
Authentic reaction there cous, it definitely caught me on the back end, lol
Hi Rajeev when you visited the cocoa estate, where did you find people to ask about the chocolate? Because I went today and only two dogs were there to greet me, couldn't find anyone at all and it looked closed down despite the sign outside saying open 🙃
It would normally have someone in the white container on the left hand side at the end of the driveway…Im sorry you just got 2 doggos as company when you made that drive
Why are you making me laugh at you when I am sipping tea? Great road trip, good chocolates. I will get 3 of the dark. Thanks
lol, Good choices, I really think there should be a website with all these products, so peeps can purchase them anywhere in the world...hmmm, may look into building one later down the road
Hi Rajeev, any plans of doing something similar for Tobago chocolate/ cocoa. Looking for ideas for future visit. Keep up the good work with the videos
Most definitely Lorcan, next time you are there check out Tobago Chocolate Delight in Shore Things Cafe, I did a video there already but will have to go back one day to do the create your own chocolate tour, but you can’t go wrong with Tobago chocolate from there
I want some chocolate please thanks Rajeev 🎂😁😁😁😁😁
Lol, you may get it from the grocery on your side, happy birthday Judy
Looks good Rajeev thanks for sharing however do they take Linx down there?
Unfortunately not, but I’ve seen the rut products in Linda’s bakery who does take Linx 😁
@@TrinbagoVibes nice bro thx again👌🏾
@@descender30 np bro, I forgot to mention it so thanks for the reminder
Was a bit naive of them not allowing filming. You never know what opportunities there are out there in "TH-cam land"!
@@1daxwood you know, they're a bit old school but I've been back and forth with emails so I expect to revisit later this year
