Overall comments: 
This chocolate was very unique. The texture was nice and smooth and the aroma seemed to compliment it. Some of the tasters thought the chocolate tasted like soap.

This chocolate is Dagoba organic lavender blueberry chocolate

Overall thoughts:

I didn't really care for this chocolate. I  thought the lavender was a little to overpowering and reminded me of tasting perfume. It also needed more blueberry to increase the sweetness and flavor profile. This was only 59% cocoa so it was not as bitter as many of the other chocolates tasted, but it was not especially sweet either. This chocolate is very unique and it is not typically my favorite, I can see how others could find this combination appealing. 

This chocolate is sold for around $2.39 for a 2.0 oz bar so about  $1.20/ oz.
