It was like the difference between fresh corn and canned corn, or fresh tuna and canned tuna. It was the first time I had tasted a chocolate bar that felt like it started life as a plant, rather than having been born out of factory chemical compounds and wax.

I’m sorry you couldn’t afford to try them all (I got mine for free at a tasting party). I recall that the 80% bar wasn’t tremendously distinct from other 80% dark chocolate I’ve had, and I don’t particularly like it. Too bitter. But the 60% was unbelievable. Uniquely fruity and sweet, and the only dark I’ve ever had I wanted more of. And seriously wanted. Like, was going to burgle the classroom of the teacher who sponsored the tasting. Still might.

I hope some time you get to try their round traditional Mexican chocolates. The texture is even more amazing. If you have to pick, I’d say the Vanilla and the Chili are best, followed by Salty Almond and Cinnamon.
