Wickle chai chocolate

Sister in law Spread lives in Lewes where the small boutique of Wickle is located. She bought a birthday gift for Gipsy Spread from here, which was a bar of the Wickle's own blend chai chocolate.

The packaging states that it is made for Wickle in the English countryside by artisinal chocolatiers Rowdy and Fancys'.

The chocolate is very smooth and creamy and not overly sweet, with the scent of vanilla coming through. The chai tea flavour is spiced, as it should be with black pepper, cardoman, cinnamon, clove and ginger. Pockets of these flavours come through the chocolate and black tea in waves. In fact I was actually crunching down on black pepper as I was eating it. This was a nice surprise, in an unusual chocolate blend.

Other flavours that they make include Earl Grey, Fig and Mace and Ginger and Black pepper. If you are not in Lewes any time soon however, you can purchase their hand selected and distinctive wares on line here.
