We purchased these chocolates in a Japanese Outlet store in San Francisco.
We love the packaging in aesthetics and functionality of the cigarette-inspired flip-top box. Each of the 6 chocolate sticks is individually wrapped in a protective foil package.
Like most Japanese made chocolates, the consistency was smooth and creamy, but did not have much of a cacao flavor. In fact, this chocolate tastes more like a white chocolate, especially since the predominant taste is Lavender, which was soothing, but a little too floral. Tea was an afterthought on the palate.
The beverage pairing would be best with something strong like coffee as there is a lack of body behind the chocolates. Overall, the Earl Grey chocolates did not make a lasting impression, so we'll save our calorie & fat intake for a better tasting snack.
