ChocolateBet: July 29, 2009


Chocolate of the Day:

1 bar
Torn Ranch
Tea Infused Chocolate - Masala Chai with Black Tea
Very Good
Weight: "1 oz. (28.5 grams)"
Calories: 174 calories
Cost: $2.25 for 1 bar
Purchased from: Chocolate Covered in San Francisco, CA

This milk chocolate bar from Torn Ranch (Novato, CA) was a bit sweet (I think I've gotten used to eating mostly dark chocolates this past week); however it was infused with very nice, well balanced chai tea flavor. And, while I couldn't taste black tea specifically, I'm guessing the tea taste (and maybe the tannic acid in tea) blended well with and balanced the milk in the milk chocolate.

Chocolate of the Day:

1 bar
MarieBelle
Apricot - Dark Chocolate Bar, 70%
Very Good
Weight: 3.1 oz. (90 grams)
Calories: 428 calories (estimate) in total bar
Cost: $8.50
Purchased from: Chocolate Covered, in San Francisco, CA

Very nice dark chocolate; and I liked the crunchy pieces (potato starch?). I couldn't really taste the apricot pieces, but I enjoyed the bar -- enough to eat the whole thing. Whoops. High rate of chocolate evaporation in my house.

I loved the packaging, design too. It reminded me of my visit to Mariebelle in New York City, a place with a very attractive and inviting interior space, with a combined shop and cafe/tea area.
