00:00Hello, my name is Jens Knob and welcome to Knob's in Bristol.

00:04When you come into my store, you will see a whole menu wall of different percentages.

00:11And these are the chocolates you can choose from, to have it either as a hot chocolate,

00:15or an iced chocolate, or a milkshake, for example.

00:19So, the chocolate ranges from white chocolate, 28%, which is sweet,

00:24all the way up to 100%, which is not sweet.

00:28And then we have all the percentages in between, but also from different regions of the earth.

00:34So, we have 100% from the Philippines, for example.

00:38We have a 65% from Colombia, we have a 75% from Tanzania.

00:43So, a whole range of chocolates you can choose from.

00:46Then you also choose your milk, in case you are dairy tolerant, or you prefer just a plant-based milk.

00:52And then the beauty of it, what we call Knopology,

00:55which is the art and the science of making your perfect chocolate drink,

01:00you can add ingredients to it, like fresh oranges, sea salt, rosemary and citron pepper, almond,

01:09our handmade marshmallows, for example.

01:11And this is what we call Knopology.

01:14I like that word, because it just creates the perfect chocolate drink for you.

01:19So, yeah, have a look.

01:21We're quite busy.

01:22We're introducing beautiful chocolate drinks to the Bristol scene and the reception has been good.

01:27People are curious, and I hope they like our chocolate drinks.
