Description
TBROS chocolate maker was started by Truong Minh Thang and Nguyen Duy Thong, friends and classmates from high school, in 2017. They, along with the rest of the company sharing the love for cacao and chocolate, are like “bros” in a family.
Truong works directly with cacao farmers in Vietnam, sourcing beans from various provinces around the country. When sourcing cacao from Dak Lak, Truong buys the pods directly from the farmers. He then ferments and dries the beans using his own TBROS method. For all other origins (including Tien Giang), Truong looks for fine flavour cacao produced by small farmers and supports and encourages them maintain (or better) their quality.
The province of Tien Giang is located in the Mekong River Delta. Growing in alluvial soil and influenced by the tropical monsoon climate, these cacao beans result in inviting and flavourful chocolate.
Tasting Notes:
This dark chocolate is made from cacao beans sourced the Tien Giang, Vietnam. Its flavour profile starts with a refreshing and mild acidity which folds into a rich chocolatey batter. TBros chocolate has a distinctive creamy mouthfeel and buttery texture that makes it feel incredibly luxurious and indulgent on the palate. The take-away note of this chocolate is 100% rich chocolate.
Product warning: TBros prints the ‘MFG’ date, i.e. the manufactured date, on its bars, not the ‘best before’ date.

The texture is nice. The look of the bar is too but it has too much cocoa butter, and not a lot of flavor with undertones of something bad. It is flat.

Chocolaty butter with a hint of brandy.
