I like herb and floral flavors a lot. My versions of this bon bon would likely be whole sprigs of lavender lightly coated with some dark chocolate - a bit disgusting for most people.
So, I really respect chocolatiers who are highly skilled at balancing flavors. This chocolate was very good, and nicely balanced; although the Earl Grey tea part of the flavor was subtle enough that I almost missed it. (Darn, I guess I'll have to buy some more to see if I wasn't paying close enough attention.
