organicFijian 67%

finished last pour on latest batch of organic Fijian 67%. From Koko Is, much deeper and stronger chocolate quotient than supply from other parts of Fiji. This is a mix of trinitaro & forastero and the later really dominants the first flavour notes on the palate. The trinitaro brings the citrus tropical fruis to the end of the palate. in this chocolate pink grapefruit and guava dominate.
the lighter roast brought out the fruits in force.
Being washed beans may have also reduced the herbaceous flavours usually present in cacao of this origin. Also a lower cocoa butter content than Samoa which results in a thick treacle melt on the palate.
