Dandelion Chocolate 70% Bar, Anamalai

Tasting notes: tasting notes: kumquat, hojicha milk tea Savor these single origin chocolate bars from Dandelion Chocolate, a bean-to-bar chocolate maker in San Francisco's Mission District. For over 10 years, it's been making single-origin dark chocolate from only two ingredients: cocoa beans and organic sugar. These chocolate beans come from Regal Plantations in Anamalai in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Producers Karthikeyan Palanisamy and Harish Kumar grow cacao trees intercropped among coconut palms and nutmeg trees, which improves their land's biodiversity and soil quality. The plantation is visited by tigers from the preserve next door, and by elephants who pull snacks from coconut palms. Anamalai's cacao trees tend to produce fruit-forward beans that feature bright, tropical tasting notes. To profile their first India beans in three harvest years, Dandelion Chocolate accentuated these beans’ unique herbaceous notes. Dandelion ChocolateMade in San Francisco, CAIngredien
