Taman Dark 60 Coffee and Cardamom is a product made by Taman Artisan Chocolates. This particular chocolate bar combines the rich, robust flavors of dark chocolate with the aromatic and slightly spicy notes of cardamom and coffee. The dark chocolate used has a 60% cocoa content, offering a balanced level of sweetness and bitterness.
Taman Artisan Chocolates’ Dark 60% Chocolate with Coffee and Cardamom is a testament to the rich and complex flavors achievable in artisan chocolate making. The deep, layered taste of the dark chocolate complements the boldness of organically grown Cogito Columbia coffee, while cardamom adds a sophisticated touch with its citrusy and slightly peppery notes, infusing the chocolate with an exotic flair. This combination not only showcases the quality of the ingredients but also reflects Taman’s commitment to crafting chocolates that offer a unique and luxurious experience. This flavor complexity and innovative use of spices have helped Taman Artisan Chocolates earn recognition in the international chocolate community, including accolades at the Academy of Chocolate Awards.
