Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate, Tea, Herbs and Spices Theme Week.
If you like oolong teas and dark chocolate, you will love this 62% dark bar--made using "fruity and floral" Peruvian cacao (from Puerta Pulache, Piura).
Aroma and flavor notes included: beautiful, authentic, faintly roast-y, traditional oolong tea and smooth dark chocolate. Oolong tea has elements of both green and black tea, but is in a class by itself.
The tea notes lingered into a pleasing, subtle, clean, astringent, green/floral tea finish that lasted for at least 30 seconds after the last bite of chocolate.
Texture: Very smooth (creamy, fudge-y) with a buttery melt.
I loved the refreshing, faintly floral tea aroma, flavor and finish, and the short list of (four) ingredients. The Peruvian cacao seemed a perfect match with the oolong tea.
Maker's tasting notes: "Aroma of sweet toasty caramel and floral notes with a warming finish"
Ingredients: Cacao, cane sugar, cacao butter, tea leaves
Allergen-related information: "Produced in a facility that processes nuts & dairy."
