Green tea KitKats and Coppeneur truffles

The chocolate on the KitKats is replaced by a green tea flavoured chocolate making these bars not just visually attractive but also strongly redolent of matcha.

The truffles (milk chocolate and gianduia and white chocolate with peach filling) are a gift of Lufthansa via my parents. The gianduia truffle is smooth but rather bland; the slightly tart peach filling complements well the sweetness of the white chocolate.

Coppeneur Ylang Ylang chocolate

I was intrigued by this bar as ylang ylang is much for familiar to me as a perfume ingredient, rather than in chocolate. This 72% cacao bar is filled with a smooth ganache containing 0.01% ylang ylang oil. It's certainly fragrant and smooth, but not particularly spicy or sharp as the wrapper says. Rather disappointing as I was expecting something a bit sharper, whereas this seems slightly floral. Interesting but definitely more interesting choices from Coppeneur.

Coppeneur Hacienda Lara Dark Chocolate

Not only did this Coppeneur Hacienda Lara 82% cacao organic bar come in an elegant wax sealed matte black paper envelope, but it was accompanied by a little booklet. The thinly stamped design on the bar added to the elegance. Fragrant but slightly bitter to my taste after all the milk bars I've been eating. I admit I like the way this looks much more than the taste.
