70% cacao
Origin: Bali

Appearance:  Reddish brown, nice gloss.  Well protected within its cardboard wrapper.

Snap: On the thick side, snaps crisply

Aroma:  It should be noted that it iscold outside so it’s a bit difficult to get a full reading on the smell.  From what I could gather, it is distinctively beany, like raw cacao with notes of brown sugar.

Mouthfeel: Silky smooth with the slightest hint of graininess. Astonishingly clean finish.

Taste: a subtle taste of coffee and caramel– tastes a lot like Columbian chocolate, which is interesting because both regions are better known for their coffee than chocolate.

Overall: a very mild and enjoyable chocolate. Great texture and very approachable for anyone who thinks they don’t like dark chocolate. Strikingly different from Javanese cacao–this is the yin to Java’s yang. Yum!
