Score 9.12/10
These Nibs are all malie kai (Hawai’ian for ‘calm seas’), nakedly undululating... until at bitter-end they kick up a storm-surge. Even then that's just body surfing.
Gentle compared to other Nibs; merely hints at the Hi-C ocean spray of Madagascar Tcho; & avoids for the most part the brutal attacks out of West Africa
Much more reminiscent of Plantations’ Nibs with which it shares a similar rating but those are chocolate-covered, these are a pure-play.
Assiduously roasted & winnowed, furnishing a window onto just how kind Hawai’ian chocolate could be (especially gleaned in the Aroma) though somewhat slight in core-cocoa flavor.
