Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate and Tea Theme Week.
Today's Uji Hojicha (bar) was part of the Tea Chocolate collection from Fossa Chocolate Pte Ltd (Singapore).
This 53% milk chocolate was made using Hojicha roasted Japanese green tea from Kyoto and "Ugandan Semuliki Forest organic cacao."
Aroma and flavor notes included: subtle dark milk chocolate, and lovely roasted (almost malty) and floral tea notes.
Texture: well-tempered chocolate with a thick and luxurious creamy melt and mouthfeel.
I really enjoyed the: 1.) sophisticated, complex tea flavor notes, 2.) very smooth, creamy dark milk chocolate, and 3.) well-executed and almost perfectly balanced chocolate--made with a short list of quality ingredients.
Maker's Tasting Notes: "Nutty and toasty tea aroma with a creamy mouthfeel"
Ingredients: Cacao, cacao butter, cane sugar, milk powder, tea leaves
Allergen-related information: Contains Milk. "Produced in a facility that processes nuts & dairy."
