Trader Joe's Stone Ground 70% Cacao

One thing is clear.  I do not enjoy "stone ground" chocolate.  I rated two Taza stone ground chocolates in the 5 range.  This bar rates about the same.  The sugar crystals make for a rough texture.  The cocoa is simple (maybe even simplistic), with no side flavors or nuance.  The experience is chalky, though not overly bitter.  5.3

The two Taza bars, for comparison were:

Taza Chocolate Mexicano 70% cacao
Taza Chocolate Stone Ground Organic Chocolate 70% Dark
