A Voyage in Every Bite: The Chocolate Ship’s Journey⛵π«
Set sail on a sea of flavors, where smooth chocolate meets a crisp, delightful crunch.
As I unwrapped the silver foil, the aroma of cocoa and biscuits greeted me like a warm sea breeze. Beneath the glimmering wrapper, a fleet of ships lay nestled in a chocolatey harbor, each one carrying a promise of sweetness. The first bite was a soft embrace—mildly sweet, melting effortlessly, followed by the satisfying crunch of a hidden biscuit beneath. It was a delightful contrast, like the meeting of calm waters and crisp ocean winds. Then came the matcha variation, a voyage into earthy depths, smooth yet distinct, as if the sea itself had gifted its essence to this confectionary masterpiece. Each piece felt like setting sail on a delicious adventure, where every square was a tiny map leading to indulgence.
Bourbon’s Alfort Mini Chocolate is a perfect fusion of crispy biscuit and smooth chocolate, offering a delightful contrast of textures in every bite. This well-loved Japanese confection comes in various flavors, with two standout choices:
1. Classic Milk Chocolate (Blue Box) – A Timeless Treat
The classic Alfort Mini Chocolate pairs a buttery whole wheat biscuit with rich, creamy milk chocolate. The chocolate layer is smooth and perfectly balanced in sweetness, making it a comforting indulgence. The biscuit underneath adds a subtle nuttiness and crisp texture, complementing the melt-in-your-mouth chocolate.
This flavor is ideal for those who enjoy a mildly sweet and nostalgic chocolate experience, with an elegant ship engraving on each piece, enhancing its sophisticated appeal.
2. Rich Uji Matcha (Green Box) – A Deep & Authentic Tea Flavor
For matcha lovers, Bourbon offers a ζΏζΉθΆ (Koi Matcha) version, featuring a more intense green tea flavor. This variant is made with Kyoto’s Uji matcha, specifically Ichiban Tsumi, meaning only the finest first-harvest tea leaves are used. This results in a bold, slightly bitter, and aromatic green tea taste, balancing the sweetness of the chocolate layer.
The biscuit remains light and crispy, but the chocolate coating introduces an earthy, deep matcha essence, creating a more refined and mature taste. It’s perfect for those who prefer their sweets less sugary and appreciate the delicate nuances of high-quality green tea.
✨ A Perfect Balance of Sweetness and Texture – My Alfort Experience ✨
I enjoyed both flavors of Alfort Mini Chocolate! π The mild sweetness of the chocolate was just right for me—not overpowering, but still rich and satisfying. The chocolate had a soft and creamy texture, which melted smoothly, creating a delightful contrast with the crispy biscuit underneath.
The classic milk chocolate felt nostalgic and comforting, while the matcha version stood out with its unique earthy and slightly bitter flavor, making it a great choice for someone like me who prefers less sweet treats. Both had a well-balanced combination of texture and taste, making them enjoyable with every bite.
Would I try them again? Definitely! π«π΅π
