Chocolatea

Not only is this chocolate good for you, (in moderation) it's also organic and delicious. The 71% Matcha Green Tea dark chocolate bar comes to us from the great folks at Cocoa Camino.

Cocoa Camino products are fair trade and this bar was brought to us by La Siembra, a Canadian worker co-operative whose members envision communities empowered through democratic co-operation and high quality chocolate.

I've always been a firm believer that Matcha Green Tea tastes better with chocolate. Whenever I get green tea ice cream after a meal of sushi, I tend to crave chocolate sauce on top or another scoop of chocolate ice cream in my bowl. Don't feel the same way? Check out Timothy's Chocolatey Matcha Green Tea Latte or order the Matcha Monsoon smoothie from Booster Juice but have them make it with chocolate soy milk instead of vanilla soy milk. Your taste buds will thank you.

Back to the bar. Every bite releases the perfect balance between sweet & bitter, sharp & smooth. The hint of Matcha Green Tea is definitely refreshing but also provides a little kick which can be great for an afternoon pick me up.

Caveat: This bar is addictive and its small size makes it easy to finish in one sitting. I recommend opening the bar when others are around so that you are forced to share its superb taste. Even though the antioxidants found in the bar make this a healthy treat, it's still chocolate and should be enjoyed in moderation.
