Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Mushroom Week.

Today's Day Break Functional 63% Cacao Dark Chocolate (bar) made by Raaka Chocolate (Brooklyn, NY).

Aroma and flavor notes included: dark chocolate (rich, chocolate-y, caramel); bright, dark ripe berry/berry syrup; sweet green (noccino); very faint wood and warm spice notes. This was a great morning, winter warmer chocolate.

Texture: smooth, almost creamy texture--with no detectable mushroom powder/grit (thank you!).

This blend was well executed, well balanced and full of appealing flavors. There were no "off" loamy notes, or strong bitter or acidic notes, or anything that tasted like fungi/mushrooms to me.

Cacao origin: Semuliki Forest, Uganda.

Maker's notes: "Focus and Energy"...."infused with seven adaptogenic herbs and 530 mg. of mushrooms, carefully crafted to jump start your day."

Ingredients: "organic cacao beans, organic coconut sugar, organic cacao butter, organic cordyceps mushrooms, organic chaga mushrooms, organic yerba mate, organic moringa, organic schisandra berry, organic rhodiola, organic cinnamon"

Allergen-related information: Contains coconut sugar. "gluten free, vegan"
