70% Pequin

*** Serious Spice ***

SERIOUS. spice. Proceed with caution.

From our internally-conducted, thoroughly un-scientific studies, we have determined that the spicy chocolate-going population consists of two camps: (1) those who take us at our word that this bar contains serious spice levels of spice, and so decide to safely stay away; and (2) those who hear "serious" and "spice" together in reference to chocolate as a call to action, and dive headfirst into any size sample piece.

This second camp can further be divided into two groups: (2a) after the first bite, this person might wait & wonder if they received the right product, after all. "This isn't spicy..."

They soon realize it is. What tends to follow is some variation of "wow!" or "that IS spicy!". You may, if you're a 2a-er, conclude that we even over-hyped just how spicy this bar is.

And then there's subgroup 2b – and if you take nothing else from this ramble, let it please be that we hope you don't become part of 2b.

This brave chocolate-goer tends to find the spiciness slowly unfold, then quickly wish they had interpreted "serious spice" more literally and emphatically. If there is a chance you may land in this camp, we highly encourage keeping a chaser of oatmilk chocolate at-hand (honestly good practice for any 70% Pequin participants).

You've been over-hyped/forewarned :)
