Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate and Tea Theme Week.
Today's Taiwan Red Oolong Tea 62% dark (bar) was from Fu-Wan Chocolate (Ping-Tung County, Taiwan).
Red tea is generally a black tea known for its "juicy, fruity and honey notes," whereas red oolong tea offers a blend of these sweet and fruity notes + classical oolong tea flavors...Exactly what I tasted in today's Taiwan Red Oolong Tea chocolate.
Aroma and flavor notes for this tree-to-bar chocolate included: dark chocolate with brown sugar toffee, fruit (candied pineapple, date, persimmon), diffuse warm spices (cinnamon, ginger); and oolong tea (with slightly floral, clean mineral notes).
Texture: smooth and creamy with a slight (fruit, tea) astringency (slightly granular dryness).
I enjoyed the unexpectedly flavorful fruit, floral and toffee notes. All these aromas and flavors were coaxed from just four ingredients.
Maker's Tasting Notes: Rose, Cardamom, Pistachio, Toffee
Ingredients: Ping Tung Cacao Liquor, Sugar, Cacao Butter, Taiwan Red Oolong Tea Powder
Allergen-related information: "May contain traces of nuts and milk."
