Tafel Single Origin Brazil 70%

The 70% cacao hits that perfect spot between bitter and sweet, and I can actually taste the difference the Bahia single-origin beans make. I've been buying it for my afternoon coffee break and it's become a small ritual I look forward to.

The aroma alone is worth it—sweet, earthy notes of Bahia's rainforest hit you the moment you unwrap it. It melts slowly and evenly, with a deep 70% bitterness that never turns sharp.

I usually find single origin bars a bit flat, but this Brazil one has a nice fruity edge under the cocoa. Took off a star because the snap is softer than I'd like, though the flavor itself is smooth and not too bitter.
