Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate and Tanzania Week, and Day #1 of Chocolate and Floral Theme Week.
Happy Summer Solstice. I couldn't imagine a better bar to celebrate this spring-to-summer transition.
Today's Honey Orchid Dancong Oolong 52% dark milk chocolate (bar) was made by Fossa Chocolate (Singapore). This collaboration with Pekoe & Imp (Singapore company specializing in single origin teas) was part of the Fossa's "Tea Chocolate" series.
Aroma notes for this tea-infused bar included: dark milk chocolate with subtle honey, orchid, faint stone fruit (peach, nectarine), and ripe guava. (It was a perfect sensory match with the bar's name.)
Texture: luxurious and creamy mouthfeel and melt
Flavor notes included: dark milk chocolate with blooming honey, floral, cream, oolong tea and fruit (peach, guava) notes.
I loved the aroma, creamy texture and complex, elegant, botanically authentic flavors that unfolded like a beautifully painted fan. This thoughtfully sourced and well-executed chocolate was fit for royalty.
Tasting Notes: "Floral fragrance layered with notes of guava and cream"
Ingredients: "Organic cacao, cane sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, tea leaves"
Allergen-related information: "Contains dairy. Produced in a facility that processes nuts."
