Description
Clean, and not overly complex and comforting. It has a real nice, round, mellow chocolate with hazelnut tones that moves forward over grapefruited citrus while your coffee cools a bit. The sweetness isn’t what I’d call profound, though it’s raw and agave character does creep up on you as well, finally leaving you with an effervescent, lingering sense of strawberries in chocolate.
