“All you need is love but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt” – Charles M Shulz

Today it gives us immense pleasure to introduce a chocolatier for the first time on our blog! Meet Easter Tepa from Dimapur, Nagaland. She has completed her diploma in Patisserie from ‘Lavonne Academy of Baking Science & Pastry Art’, Bangalore and has worked in ‘Amande Patisserie’ and Food Hall, Bangalore. ” I am so nervous and excited to launch – finally!” Having tasted her chocolates while she was still getting trained in Bangalore, we knew her stall would be a hit. R&L team had a chat with Easter.

Why chocolates ?

I returned home (Nagaland) in 2016 with the intention and hope of venturing into the food industry – particularly pastry and chocolates. It has been my passion for a long time now, and although I haven’t set up shop yet, I hope to launch very soon. I am excited about the adventure in this industry, and I plan to start with chocolates 🙂

Have you thought of a name for your chocolate brand? When are you launching officially?

I plan to call it ‘Sincerely Chocolate’, as it is something that is coming straight from my heart. I admire sincerity in everything so it made perfect sense to name my brand.I plan to launch with a range of truffles and bonbons made using one of the finest chocolates in the world. As of now it is a small venture which I hope will gradually grow in time.‘Sincerely Chocolate’ was officially launched on 30^th of September, 2017 at ‘The Maker’s Market’, Dimapur, Nagaland.

The idea behind my chocolate ambition is the fact that there are no Chocolatiers here in Nagaland. I have always loved chocolates but it is difficult to get good quality chocolate out here; so it was only a natural want for me to make them and share my love for chocolates with the rest of the people here at home – providing them with the best quality of chocolates.

What type of chocolates/desserts do you make? Where can we buy them?

The type of chocolates I make at the moment are artisanal handmade truffles and gourmet chocolates. Right now I only take orders from home since I still haven’t set up shop.
