Inspiration for the Flavor

Some flavors need no explanation; just one bite can transport you back to a certain place, a particular person, or an afternoon.

The founder first envisioned this nama chocolate on a winter morning on Hengsha Island. In the island market, an old woman was selling a jar of homemade sour plum cake next to fresh tangerines just picked from the trees. The sweet and sour aroma mingling in the winter air immediately reminded him of the sour plum candy he used to buy on his way home from school – a taste of childhood for children from Jiangnan.

At that moment, he thought: How wonderful it would be if this memory could be encapsulated in a piece of nama chocolate, allowing more people to rediscover that simple joy on a quiet afternoon.

Ingredient Inspiration

The refreshing fruity aroma of tangerines comes from the sunshine and soil of the Jiangnan hills, while sour plums embody the ultimate pursuit of sweet-sour balance in traditional Chinese food culture. When these two meet the delicate white chocolate, a stunning nama chocolate is born – Tangerine and Sour Plum White Chocolate Nama Chocolate.

Top Notes: A Bright Fruity Opening

Upon first taste, the refreshing fruity aroma of tangerine blossoms, like the first ray of morning sun, bright and vibrant. This fruity scent is neither stimulating nor overly sweet; instead, it gently unfolds on the tongue, instantly invigorating one's spirit.

Middle Notes: The Soulful Appearance of Sour Plum

As the white chocolate slowly melts in the mouth, the unique sweet and sour notes of the sour plum begin to emerge. This is the soul of the entire nama chocolate – the subtle tartness of the sour plum creates a wonderful tension with the milky flavor of the white chocolate, offering both contrast and harmony. This layered complexity makes every bite a delightful surprise.

Base Notes: A Lingering Sweet Aftertaste

After swallowing, a faint fruity aftertaste and the milky sweet finish of white chocolate remain in the mouth. This lingering aftertaste is prolonged and not cloying, making one crave another piece.
