Take three deep ujjayi breaths, quiet the chattering mind and be in the present moment. See - Don't be deceived by the looks of this bar - it's a milk chocolate of a new variety, blended with a bit of dark chocolate to deepen the flavor and the color. Smell - Rub your thumb on the chocolate bar's surface to help release the aromas. Inhale deeply. Snap - Break the bar into two pieces. Hear a crisp, ringing pop, which indicates a well-tempered bar of chocolate. You will hear the loudest snap with dark chocolate, a soft break with milk and a faint whisper with white. Taste - Place a small piece of chocolate on your tongue and press it to the roof of your mouth. Within 30 seconds the chocolate square will slowly begin to melt around your tongue. Dark milk chocolate melts into the mineral and sumptuous taste of sea salt and roasted almonds, reminiscent of Marcona, Spain. Feel the texture of milk chocolate on your palate and the evolution of the flavors in your mouth. Can you distinguish between the crunch of sea salt and the umami-laden smoked almonds?
