Letterpress Esmeraldas, Ecuador 85%

This cacao is grown in the province of Esmeraldas, an area not typically known as a cacao-producing region of Ecuador.  Costa Esmeraldas is a single estate farm established on reclaimed cattle pasture and is currently planted with approximately 100 hectares of 5-year-old Nacional hybrid cacao (clones EET-95, EET-96, and EET-103). 

The color is strikingly dark for 85% dark chocolate but belies its mild flavor. Enjoy.

Tasting notes: nutty and floral
