While I became hanging out at one of the best artisan bakeries in Long seashore recently, i ran across two tea-infused chocolate taverns by bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturer Fossa from Singapore. I experienced maybe not tried either however, so I picked one up (hopefully next time I’ll make every effort to get the other one also). A time ago, I’d posted about my tasting notes, thoughts and effect of the Honey Orchid Dancong Hongcha Tea Chocolate, which was excellent. That club ended up being fashioned with black tea (hongcha). These days, you’ll notice the thing I thought of their Honey Orchid Dancong Oolong Tea Chocolate bar.

I’m captivated by their unique and bold options for their particular line of tea chocolate pubs featuring solitary source cocoa beans and artisan teas, including Qi Mountain raw pu’ er, awa bancha, wakocha Japanese black tea, plus, that they clearly state beginning and even collect. From just what I’ve seen up to now, they’re seriously interested in tea up to they have been about chocolate and working together with uncommon tea curator Pekoe & Imp is a testament to their large criteria. Honey Orchid Dancong is really a highly prized oolong from Phoenix Mountain (Feng Huang Shan) in China. This club is out-of-this-world tasty. The tea flavor is very prominent and complex and also managed to translate the mouthfeel associated with tea in chocolate bar. We don’t discover how they did it, it’s magical. it is flowery, fruity therefore the typical notes of Honey Orchid Dancong come through truly beautifully. The chocolate shines too without overpowering the tea flavor.

Shoutout to Los Angeles depending chocolate expert and blogger My 12 months in Chocolate ( @myic2016 ), which inspires me day-to-day therefore graciously supplied guidance on chocolate tasting. She explained her consume way for sampling chocolate, that I attempted to stick to as much as possible.

Fossa Honey Orchid Dancong Oolong tea chocolate

Net body weight: 50 gr

Price: US $14

Exterior: the packaging is completely breathtaking by way of a golden embossed botanical example of a part of Camellia Sinensis. Very elegant.

The bar has the scent of: organic, medicinal records, cocoa butter

Taste of chocolate: straight away oolong records and Dancong minerality, honey and flowery records, understated sweetness, that I appreciate + mineral, tannic finish

Mouthfeel: smooth yet not excessively creamy, lingering and durable fragrant and mouth-drying finish, which I attribute towards the mineral high quality and astringency of tea. There is a tiny crunchy fragment without trouble of chocolate, why not a tea leaf fragment escaped into the last club?

In general: great, balanced, flavorful, delicious, addicting

This oolong has a distinct guava aroma. Complemented by the biscuity Kokoa Kamili cacao from Tanzania, this can be a tasty bar to-be slowly savoured.

Have you tried any tea-infused chocolate from Fossa
