Bar: Taiwan #1 62%
Maker: Fuwan Chocolate (Pingtung County, Taiwan)
Price: $9/45g (Direct From Maker)
Munch Factor: 6/10
Ingredients: Cacao Beans, Sugar, Cocoa Butter.
Appearance: plain dark brown color with a striped blocked rectangular mold; good temper.
Aroma: sweet molasses.
Melt & Snap: hard melt & hard snap.
Flavor: honey and earth undertones on a strong cocoa with that mushy mouthfeel which indicates over-conching. Finish is creamy, like a milk chocolate, with the barest of tannins.
Complaints & Complements: I bought this bar before the company started any exporting of their bars, though the maker was at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris while I was visiting her store. I wish so very badly that I’d bought more of them. Despite over-refining on all of their bars(that I’ve tried so far), everything I’ve tried has been superb and this is no exception.
Context: sitting in my apartment in Korea, after a nice long walk outside.
