Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Tea Week.
Today's Gingerbread Rooibos Chocolate Bar was made (from bean-to-bar) by The Chocolate Conspiracy (Salt Lake City, UT).
This chocolate was "crafted with organic, unroasted, single-origin Peruvian cacao beans and sweetened with raw, unfiltered honey."
Aroma and flavor notes for this herbal tea-infused dark milk bar included: dark chocolate (relatively smooth, subtle herbal (tea), honey; faint, diffuse fruit (very faint pineapple, papaya, mango); and very faint earth and nut (walnut).
This bar was also fairly low in bitterness, acidity and astringency.
There were faint, diffuse spice notes; but it was hard to make out any ginger (that may have inspired the "gingerbread" (rooibos) in the product name.
I liked the 1.) smooth, luxe texture; 2.) the subtle, diffuse tropical fruit and floral honey notes; and 3.) the relatively short list of authentic, less-processed, quality ingredients (no emulsifiers or "Natural Flavors").
Ingredients: Raw Organic Cacao Beans, Raw Unfiltered Honey, Raw Organic Cacao Butter, Herbal Tea Blend (Rooibos, Pineapple, Mango, Papaya, Coconut, Walnut, Peanut, Hazelnut), Organic Ginger, Organic Clove.
Allergen-related information: Contains Nuts. Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, coconut, and pistachios.
