Tafel Single Origin Madagascar 64%

I wasn't expecting the aroma to hit me as soon as I opened the wrapper, that soft toasted cocoa smell is honestly half the experience. The 64% is a nice middle ground too, dark enough to feel grown-up but not bitter. Been rationing the squares so it lasts the week.

The Madagascar cocoa gives this a bright fruity tang I didn't expect from a 64% bar, almost like dried cherry. I've been breaking off two squares after dinner instead of reaching for dessert, and the snap is really clean.

That deep cocoa scent hits you as soon as you unwrap it, and the texture is beautifully smooth—no waxy residue at all. I’m impressed by how clean and balanced the 64% tastes, especially knowing the beans are sustainably grown in northern Madagascar.
