Tablea queen's pure tablea from dumaguete,
dumaguete made pure cacao.

Unpacking the package the smell of melted cocoa spreads. I open it. It smelled like prunes. This is how chocolate should smell, like magic. Not to be confused with the smell of New Year's gifts. The smell of real chocolate opens the door and a fairy tale into something ordinary that begins to play with other colors. When the sense of smell begins to go crazy, the brain looks for secret gates. And the reason for the celebration. This is chocolate.

We fill up with cocoa. The fat little rounds sparkle. Depth and saturation. Slight cocoa tartness. Smoky aftertaste. Not a strong aroma when hot. Turned into a ball. Facebook TABLEA QUEEN
