Chocolate Fusion Dark Chocolate 72% Organic Mate' Tea & Cacao nibs








                                   
About: It's unclear where this chocolate is made, though it's California somewhere. The website claims the tea room is in Los Angels; the packager claims it's in the San Francisco bay area. Doesn't matter. They make a range of flavored chocolates, but I think they remelt and add flavorings.

Flavor:  The tea comes on strong at the beginning, resolving to the full flavored chocolate with finely ground nibs that provide a very delicate crunch. The chocolate is very long lasting, and on eating it, I almost thought they made it fresh. I found the tea to be almost tobacco-like, and while it was a rich flavor, it wasn't my favorite.

Texture: Very smooth.

My rating: Good flavor. Good texture. Solid 7, even if I found the tea somewhat smokey.


Rating Value Meaning
1 Really bad chocolate. There's something just really really wrong here in almost every imaginable respect.
2 A bar with this rating has at least two drawbacks.
3 A bar where something is starting to get seriously wrong.... for example, really weak flavor with an otherwise acceptable texture.
4 This bar is below average, but just slightly. Mostly it's not worth eating again. Something isn't quite up to par, for example a poor texture but fine flavor.
5 This is an average good bar that's worth eating. There's nothing really wrong with it, but also nothing particularly spectacular. Or, perhaps it has a good characteristic that's evenly counter-weighted by something weak.
6 A solidly good bar with one characteristic that's above par, for example a great texture.
7 An solidly good chocolate that has two above par characteristics, but nothing mind-blowing. Good, above average flavor, but nothing to die for.
8 An excellent bar with no weaknesses and at least one characteristic that's super.
9 An awesome bar to die for with amazing texture and flavor.
10 You have been touched by God.
