Chocolate Greedy

In Chocolate Greedy by Montale, coffee arrives first, a dark foam over sugared grounds. At its heart, cocoa reads as brown velvet sifted over warm cream, met by vanilla — black vanilla paste scraped from the bean. Tonka bean threads the powdery warmth of cured beans over the blend, bitter orange moving through as austere orange brightness with bitter bark. The result is warm and edible, a sweet, herbal centre lifted by citrus.
