En route to a local Thai restaurant I happened to stumble on this treasure that I was first introduced to last Spring in Boston. I vividly remember trudging through snow, rain and slush to take a quick tour of the Harvard Business School grounds. We were cold and tired when we finally navigated to the recommended L.A. Burdick and that dark hot chocolate with a shot of espresso spread warmth and rich goodness through every thawing extremity. I had locked away this memory with my wintry Boston nostalgia until this past week! My excitement was overwhelming and after devouring a full plate of Rohm Thai noodles I could not resist a chocolaty concoction for the commute back home. After asking for a dark recommendation, I went with Madagascar which elegantly carried subtle notes of vanilla beneath the strong melody of pure chocolate.
Since then I ventured back post work to celebrate the end of the week and shared a Grenada single origin hot chocolate with a side of cannele (this selection fell into the 70's range of cocoa while Madagascar was in the milder 60's). I managed to snap a few shots during my indulgent excitement...
