Kasama Spring Awakening pairs rich 65% dark chocolate made with Costa Esmeraldas cacao from Ecuador with locally foraged Briitish Colombia spruce tips, creating a bar that is deep, fresh, and frankly...magical. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe love this one because the spruce tip flavor is not loud or gimmicky. It's mild, foresty, and bright—more like walking through a fresh Pacific Northwest forest on a cool spring morning than eating something that tastes like Christmas trees. There is a little citrus lift, a little green freshness, maybe the barest suggestion of rosemary or spearmint, but never so much that it becomes either. It is just...spring, somehow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll About Kasama Spring Awakening Chocolate Bar\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKasama makes this 65% dark chocolate bar with single-estate cacao from Costa Esmeraldas in Ecuador and locally foraged spruce tips from British Columbia. The cacao brings richness, oakiness, and depth, while the spruce tips add a vibrant lemony, piney freshness that pulls the flavor toward the forest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e65% dark chocolate gives the bar enough richness to carry the spruce tip flavor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCosta Esmeraldas cacao brings depth, warmth, and oaky chocolate character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBC spruce tips add fresh, lemony, gently piney brightness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe flavor is unusual but balanced—foresty, not overpowering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautiful tasting bar for people who love botanical, seasonal, or place-based chocolate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLet a piece melt slowly so the chocolate has time to open.
