Cacao Revival. Something wonderful is happening in the tropical rainforests of Tumaco, southern Colombia. There, a group of savvy, young farmers are using native cacao as a weapon to fight against a cycle of poverty and drug violence. Partnering with the local university, they’re revitalizing and spreading native varieties of cacao, turning it into a totally sublime, sustainable crop that provides a future for their families. It’s our delicious privilege to make chocolate with their beans.
A flavourful adventure! Plum, whisky and wildflower honey.
Ingredients: Cacao, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter.

My tasting notes will not be complex. I ate the whole 60g bar with black tea (with milk and sigar).
The chocolate has that chocolate aroma that I associate with walking into the best shops.
It melts fairly easily and has that snap.
Towards the end of the bar, the flavour began to intensify.
Like the other reviewer said, this one is more subtle.
For 70% this is easy to eat.
I'll post a second review after the next bar.

The Hummingbird Tumaco 70% dark chocolate bar is what finally got me hooked on dark chocolate. The taste is subtle, the texture is crisp. Everything as it should be. (I usually purchase these in a batch of 4 or more.)
