This is a little treat. Dominated by the flavors of strawberries and raspberries, its taste is light and refreshing. The 55% chocolate binds it all together and brings a little warmth. The whole dried fruit slices underneath the bar add a touch of tartness and sweetness, to the delight of the taste buds.
It says on the package that the cocoa comes from Joya de los Sachas, in the Amazon. I deduce that it is Sacha cocoa. The chocolate has the same characteristics: it has a sweet and comfortable taste of caramel and butter. The texture is quite smooth, although if you try hard to criticize, you may find it a little floury.
It’s not chocolate! But it is a special product: it is a cocoa salami. I believe it is an Italian recipe… in any case, it is made from Ecuadorian chocolate.
I only bought one bar of Teaone. I don’t particularly like coffee, so I chose the “puro” bar on purpose… but it seems that there was a small mistake. The package itself was not sealed: it is also possible that the chocolate went bad in the five days (including the plane trip) between the purchase in a store and the consumption.
Orange blossom water, cinnamon and nutmeg. These are the first touches that come with this impressive chocolate. Smooth and fruity, it slowly melts in the mouth, slowly introducing new flavors. The butter softness comes later, with a touch of caramel.
