DID YOU KNOW?
How to taste Chocolate...
"Chocolate should be at the appropriate temperature for tasting - somewhere between 66-76 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bitterness, acidity, sweetness, astringency and saltiness (depending on the filling) are the basic tastes inherent to chocolate. The cocoa should be slightly bitter, but without being acrid. A barely perceptible touch of acidity and slight sweetness help only to highlight other, more powerful flavors.

....And, As people's taste for chocolate is developed and refined, they can distinguish the subtle differences in the flavor of chocolate made with cocoa beans of various origins and intensities", much like the transformation in taste that occurs with coffes and wines.
