Let chocolate melt naturally on your tongue rather than chewing, allowing complete flavor development. Try pairing with single origin coffee, specialty tea, or natural wine. Share with fellow chocolate enthusiasts for guided tasting experiences. Store in cool, dark conditions to preserve optimal texture and flavor. Compare with other single origins (Vietnam, Madagascar, Ecuador) to explore terroir differences
