マヤマウンテン、ベリーズ 85% 2023 バッチ1 シングルオリジンチョコレートバー

The lime peel and jasmine notes are surprisingly bright for such a high cocoa content, and the Greek yogurt finish makes it feel almost creamy. I've been pairing small squares with black coffee to really let the flavors open up.

Wasn't sure about an 85% bar but the jasmine really softens it, and that greek yogurt tang sneaks up at the end. Knowing the cacao comes from a social enterprise buying from indigenous growers makes the price easier to swallow too.

That lime peel hits first and then the jasmine sort of sneaks in behind it, which I didn't expect from an 85% bar. The texture stays smooth instead of chalky like most high-percentage bars I've tried.
