tea /cocoa filler, now just need to move it


organic Madagascar 77%

its out of the conch and the first batch poured, organic Madagascar 77% dark chocolate. Roasted by Pralus with beans from his isle of perfume estate.
Unbelievably dark roast but no smoky aromas n the final choc, just huge flavours or roasted nuts and tropical fruit- very long palate

Madagascar cocoa beans from Pralus

just in time ,a new shipment of cocoa beans from Pralus plantation on the 'isle of perfume' Madagascar. These beans have been roasted much darker than previous Lot # 200612. Really strong aroma all fruit and nuts. Winnowed and start of conching today early flavours are all citrus lemon/lime typical of this criollo. The surprise is this high roast hasn't dimmed the citrus flavours even though the outer husk is lightly burnt.
