Cotton Tree Chocolate Belize 70% cocoa

One of my colleague took a trip to Belize recently, and brought back dark chocolate. Yay!

This bar is fairly bitter, but not over-powering. I taste some earthy notes as well as a little nutmeg.  The aftertaste is fairly long due to the bitterness, but it is clean to the end. 8.2

From the label:
"Cotton Tree is a unique small batch chocolate. More than just single origin, each batch of chocolate starts with cocoa beans from a single day's harvest from a single farmer.

"We are proud to be a product of Belize. We work with local farmers towards environmental, economic and social sustainability. We exclusively use cocoa beans grown by our neighbors from the Mayan villages surrounding our location in Punta Gorda, Belize.

"Thank you for supporting our local economy with the purchase of this chocolate bar. Find out more about us, the farmers and the chocolate at www.cottontreechocolate.com"
