captpackratThe Tea Room 58% Dark Chocolate Green Earl Grey Tea
This chocolate bar was rather disappointing. The Earl Grey tea flavor was so slight, I could just barely taste it. If I didn't read on the package that it was supposed to be Earl Grey, I'd have never noticed it at all. If I'm paying this much for a novelty flavored chocolate, I expect to actually taste the flavor.
The Tea Room 30% White Chocolate Chamomile & Honey
Another disappointment. The flavor of chamomile or honey was noticeably absent. What I did taste, however, was a very slight rancid milk flavor. Ick.
World Market 64% Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt
This was a bit unusual. When you bit into the bar, you'd taste chocolate at first, but then you'd hit a crystal or two of salt and you'd get a sudden burst of saltiness. It's not unpleasant, but definitely an unusual sensation. Despite the salty flavor, a single serving (1/2 the bar) contains only 125 mg (5% DV) of sodium; the other chocolate bars I have list from 5 to 60 mg.
