Dolfin Chocolat Noir Au Thé Earl Grey

An intensely floral aroma hit me as I opened the elegant pearly green and white wrapper under the plastic-wrapped envelope. Would I be able to identify this as Earl Grey if I wasn't told? No. Would I buy this slightly sweet, milky floral bar again? Definitely.

Dolfin Chocolat au the vert sencha du Japon

This Belgian milk chocolate bar with 32% cacao and 5% sencha is milky, smooth and with a good, not overpowering, sencha taste. A little sweeter than my preference but the sencha prevents it from becoming cloying. This is my first Dolfin bar purchased on my now, long-past trip to Germany. It was selected from a range of relatively unusual flavours as I wanted to try the green tea and chocolate combination which is rather rare, as most tea/chocolate combos use black teas. Overall I really liked this, even though I'm not a fan of sencha on its own. The sweet milkiness covered the often-overly grassy (to me) flavour of sencha, so maybe that's why. Hard to tell from the photos but this comes in a very nice plastic wrapper imprinted with "Dolfin" in shades of green to match the plastic-covered paper pouch on the outside.
