Macha Exotic Candy Bar From Vosges
Chocolate + Macha Green Tea = ?
After the first Vosges chocolate bar I reviewed generated such dubious responses, I thought it would be nice to pick one of their less-controversial flavors to try. I decided to go with the Macha Exotic Candy Bar because well, you’ve already seen that I like mixing tea with all kinds of things. According to its official description, “grassy and bamboo undertones of Japanese macha green tea gently rise around deep milk chocolate.”
On the plus side, the milk chocolate (41% cacao) was delicious—very smooth, aromatic, and rich. I am definitely more of a dark chocolate kind of girl, however this milk chocolate was perfect for me because it wasn’t too sweet. On the negative side, where is the macha?!? They weren’t joking when they said the flavor “gently” rises to the chocolate. The green tea was very subtle, elegantly present, but very, very faint. It left me wanting more! Now I know that sometimes it’s a good thing to leave someone wanting more. However, in this case my longing turned to a slight feeling of disappointment. It’s a lovely bar of chocolate, but sadly there wasn’t enough of what could have really set it apart.
Price: $7.50
