Ecuador - Hacienda Victoria 85%

That rounded, mellow finish is exactly what I look for in a high-percentage bar—it hits 85% without any harsh bite. The aroma alone tells you it’s a single-origin Ecuadorian bean done right. Already ordered another one.

The texture is incredibly smooth for an 85% bar—no chalkiness at all, just a slow, rounded melt that lets the richness build. I've tried plenty of high-percentage bars that hit you with harsh bitterness, but this one from the single farm in Guayas stays mellow from first bite to the last. Definitely

The aroma when I opened the wrapper was immediately rich and inviting, and the bar melts so evenly on the tongue. At 85% it stays mellow instead of sharp, just as the description says, which makes it dangerously easy to finish in one sitting.
