SweetRiot: flavor 70 cinn
Flavor 70 Cinn is 70% cacao with a hint of cinnamon over cacao nibs. The last time I tried SweetRiot I gravitated towards the darkest as well. The light hit of cinnamon was more evident in the scent than in the taste. There’s a little spicy kick on the tongue at the start, but basically it’s a rich roasty chocolate taste with a solid acidic hit and a mellow bitterness. The nibs themselves were crunchy and not the slightest bit fibery (which is a pet peeve of mine when it comes to nibs). I covered SweetRiot and nibs pretty well in this review back in the spring, so check that out. Each SweetRiot tin comes with a little geography “fortune” and mine went like this:
SweetRiot also has a ”riot club” where you can select from two different delivery plans so you can get your cacao nib fix regularly (and at a better price). They also have their sets that bring the price down when you buy a mix of three. Ordering a whole box of 12 of course brings the tins down to $4 a piece. Still, not to sound like a broken record, it’d be nice to buy a quarter pound or half pound on the website and be able to refill my little tin myself. The little tins change throughout the year, with new artwork featured periodically. If you’re interested in having your art considered, check out this page.

I saw they were releasing these and was wondering how they were. It sounded great to me but in the holiday rush I forgot to order some. And I completely agree on being able to buy a big refill bag so I can just reuse my tin.
