Name: Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic
Type: Dark Chocolate
Cacao Percentage: 70%
Tasting Summary: cream cheese, grapefruit, gin
Description: sourced from Dandelion Chocolate - one of the pioneering names in bean-to-bar chocolate - Japan store, this is a limited batch that won't be restocked once it's gone. This exceptional bar delivers a tangy cream cheese richness up front, with a bittersweet grapefruit edge and a botanical, gin-like finish.
This is maker Mari Tsuchiya's second time developing this particular bar. Where her first release focused on taming the bean's natural bitterness, this one leans fully into what the 2021 harvest actually tasted like - herbal, nutty, even a little like paprika and raisin.
Bean Origin: Duarte Province, Dominican Republic (Zorzal Cacao)
Made In: Kuramae, Tokyo, Japan

How to enjoy Dandelion Togo chocolate
Gin! with this flavour profile, we love a citrus-forward gin or a light, fruity IPA. If you'd rather skip the alcohol, a green tea does something similar.
The Story of Zorzal Comunitario Chocolate - from Dominican Republic
Zorzal is Spanish for thrush - the endangered bird this whole farm was built to protect. It sits inside a private bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic, and the beans in this bar come from the 25 families who farm right alongside it.
