Welcome to Day #15 of Chocolate & Colombia Theme Week, and Day #4 of Chocolate & Coffee Theme Week.

Today's 68% Colombia with Coffee Single-Origin Chocolate (bar) was from Spinnaker Chocolate, a family owned and operated chocolate maker in Seattle, WA.

This chocolate bar was made "in partnership with Olympia Coffee" (based in Olympia, WA).

Aroma and flavor notes included: smooth, naturally sweet/fruity/mild dark chocolate; bright and complex fruit (ripe red dragonfruit, ripe sweet pepper, ripe cherry, citrus, kiwi, coffee cherry, pear), warm spices, black pepper, roasted coffee, and barely detectable tea floral (extremely faint hibiscus/sorrel).

Texture: smooth texture, melt and mouthfeel

I love balanced complex flavors. And I loved the incredibly complex and fruity notes in this single origin bar -- a blend of single origin (Colombia) cacao and single origin (Ethiopian) coffee. Notably, the two areas where these two crops were grown were close to ground zero where they first evolved/were cultivated on Earth.

What a wonderful blend. I hope we don't continue to lose subtle flavors like this as we continue to move from more delicate heritage cacao and coffee varieties (in their original locales) to more sturdy and "productive" varieties.

Ingredients: "Cacao, Organic Cane Sugar, Ground coffee beans, Roasted"
