Welcome to Day #10 of Chocolate & The Philippines Theme Week.
Today's Cup of Coffee (Tasse de Cafe) 65% Cacao Philippines (bar) was from The Organic House (Burlington, ON, Canada).
Aroma and flavor additions included: a harmonious blend of quality cacao and coffee, sweetened with Ontario maple sugar. I experienced the best of many worlds (single origin ingredients that had great nuanced flavors, with balanced complexity).
Texture: This well-tempered--and overall well-executed--chocolate had a smooth texture and a satisfying melt. Flavor additions were well integrated. (There was no coffee "grit" or granular maple sugar texture.) Note: I like maple sugar, but don't want it to be overwhelming. This was just the right amount and application for me.
I really liked this chocolate.
Maker's Tasting Notes: "Strong notes of coffee, maple, porcini, sage, lilac, and petit verdot*. Mellow earthy notes, with a smooth finish."
