When we visited the Cacaomuseum in Amsterdam<\/a>, we noticed this unusual poster on the wall, and were told it contains all the descriptors used in tasting chocolate arranged by color.<\/p>\n

Apologies for my bad pic. The upper left corner hard-to-read green flavors are:
Pine, Rosemary, Basil
Thyme, Herbal
Mint, Tarragon
Grassy, Green Tea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Taste with Colour Chocolate Tasting Flavour Map<\/a> was developed by chocolate adventurist Hazel Lee<\/a> in 2017 to help people appreciate the different flavors in chocolate by giving them the vocabulary to describe what they taste. Basically, when you taste a piece of chocolate, think of what colors the taste evokes, then look at that color on the Flavour Map and find the word(s) that best match what you are tasting.<\/p>\n

The small poster (approximately 16.5″x11.5″) makes a colorful splash on a wall, but it\u2019s probably best used laid out on a table while tasting, so you can peruse it more easily while the chocolate melts in your mouth. You can buy the poster on the Taste with Colour<\/a> website for about $20, shipping to the U.S. adds another almost $8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
