About the bar
This well-balanced fruity chocolate from Chocolate Tree has notes of pineapple and citrus, and there is a kick of subtle spice swirls which pairs beautifully with the rich earthiness of the cacao.
About the maker
Founders of Chocolate Tree, Alastair and Friederike Gower, started their chocolate adventure in 2005 by touring music festivals and selling their chocolates from a hand built solar powered geodesic dome tent. However, working with organic couvertures wasn’t enough for them. Alastair and Friederike – being the adventurous types – decided to start making their own chocolate from bean to bar in 2012. This was a time when the craft chocolate movement was just getting started in the UK. Chocolate Tree also run its chocolaterie in Edinburgh, which offers a comfortable, relaxing environment for customers to enjoy a chocolate-rich menu. Alastair and Friederike, alongside serving their bean to bar chocolates and bonbons, serve up ice cream, drinking chocolate, cakes, to name a few. They also guide chocolate tastings, to introduce and share the world of craft, bean to bar chocolate.
The beans
Chocolate Tree have specifically sourced these Porcelana beans from a few single estate farms in the Sur del Lago de Maracaibo subregion of Venezuela. The premium bean has strong Criollo characteristics, which gives the fruit a lighter colour and the chocolate a complex flavour. This region is located to the south of Lake Maracaibo (technically not a lake but a brackish bay) and is famous for fine flavour cacao.

The pattern on the bar is amazing and so is the chocolate. Smooth, rich, slightly earthy and just the right amount of sweetness.

Like the packaging in two pieces, keeps one fresh. Lovely dark colour, faint on the nose. Quite heavy on the tongue, as 85% can be. Hints of coconut throughout.
