Review: Newtree Blush Dark Chocolate with Cherry

Cocoa content: 73%
Sugars per serving: 13 g
Website: http://www.newtree.com/
Other notables: Grape extract is added to increase the antioxidant content.


Smell
When I opened the bar, there was a strong cherry scent, with just a hint of chocolate. Nice!


Texture
Snappage is high - this is some nice crisp chocolate.


Taste
The mouth texture is a little bit chalky. Given the strength of the cherry scent, the flavor is surprisingly un-sweet. The chocolate flavor is rich, slightly bitter, slightly toasty. The aftertastes are bitter and cherry. The flavors really work well together.

This is one of my favorite bars.
