The Daily Open Chocolate Chat on Clubhouse started its fifth week this past Monday with a virtual visit to Grenada as the second installment of its **Origins** series. 

The idea of the series is to visit every country in the world where cocoa grows and learn about it from the perspective of a cocoa grower and/or chocolate maker in that origin. Our guest for this room was Aaron Sylvester, founder of [Tri Island Chocolate](https://triisland.com/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) and GM of the [Grenada Chocolate Company](https://www.grenadachocolate.com/?ref=thechocolatelife.com). Club member Lisette Davis of [Gabu Chocolate and Rumboat Retreat](https://rumboatretreat.com/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) who lives in Grenada shared her knowledge as well.

I visited Grenada for the first (and only) time back in 2010 – and most of the photos in this post are ones I took on that visit.
