Beschreibung
The chocolate:
This very dark milk chocolate bar is wonderfully creamy and tender, with hints of cappuccino and toasted nuts that melt in your mouth as it melts. A treat for everyone who loves their chocolate and coffee.
Back in 2008, Original Beans started a partnership with some women in Virunga National Park, who are now known as “Femmes de Virunga”. They have planted more than a quarter million cacao trees and some forty thousand shade trees, and their bars, made from the rare Amelonado cacao, are a triple treat: delicious chocolate, empowerment of women, and protection of the Virunga, home of the world's last remaining mountain gorillas.

Tasting-Anleitung
TASTING-ANLEITUNG
You want to taste your chocolate like real chocolate experts? Here we go! Here are our tasting tips:
Tasting preparation:
Ideally, you should make sure that your chocolate and any pairing drinks are brought to room temperature before the tasting. Are you trying the chocolate with several people? So that the others are not initially influenced by the pretty packaging, it is best to unpack the chocolates beforehand and break them into small pieces.
Smaller pieces of around 5g per person are ideal, we recommend 2 small pieces per person. So you can “taste” it again.
If you want to take a more professional approach, you can also have a pen and paper ready to jot down impressions.
You try several chocolates one after the other? Then only glasses and water are missing for the perfect tasting happiness ;-). You use the water to neutralize between the taste buds. It should not be too cold, otherwise the mouth will cool down and the next chocolate may melt more slowly. If you like, you can add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the water. According to bean-to-bar pioneer Zotter, this cleans the taste buds on the tongue particularly well. By the way: even if you only try one fine chocolate, you can still do a mini tasting. Take your favorite chocolates from the supermarket and see where the differences lie. This is exciting both in terms of taste but also in terms of the ingredients and information that the manufacturers provide you with.
You want to drink more than just water? Then read here how to find a perfect (wine) pairing.
