Hogarth Monsoon

The Hogarth Monsoon bar is a 66% dark chocolate bar with beans from Hacienda Victoria, Ecuador.
The ingredients include candied ginger, chili, lime oil, and lemongrass oil.

This has a firm texture and snap.  The first notes you taste are a sweetness with lime peel and cocoa flavours, then the ginger and chili kicks in growing stronger and stronger until it gives you a good slap in the mouth.

The flavours are nice. We were pleasantly surprised by the lime oil as we haven't really enjoyed citrus oils in chocolate, but this added a nice lime marmalade type tang. Joni loved the heat slap at the end, but Joey wasn't so much a fan of the chili hit.  

​This was a fun tasting.
