下午茶

The dark chocolate shell gives way to a creamy Devonshire filling that’s rich but not heavy, and the Earl Grey’s bergamot note lingers just long enough. I ate one slowly with my afternoon tea and it felt like a proper mini-dessert.

I was a bit nervous about dark chocolate with tea, but the Earl Grey comes through so clearly and the Devonshire cream keeps it from being too bitter. It's the kind of small-batch detail you can taste in every single bite.

The layers are so well-balanced—the Earl Grey comes through first, then that creamy Devonshire finish lingers just long enough. It's the kind of bonbon you slow down for, and the dark chocolate shell is perfectly thin. I've already grabbed a second box.
