New chocolate origin launching today!
We sourced this cacao from the Dak Lak province in central Vietnam. This province is rich agricultural area with coffee and fruit being some of the largest crops. The province is named after the very large “Lak” lake. We used this beautiful cacao to craft a bold 72% chocolate. The taste begins with chocolate flavor with distinct fruit notes of cherry and pineapple. After melting in our mouth, it transforms into the flavors of baking spices (Vietnamese cinnamon, nutmeg, etc...) and finishes with a little bit of acidity to get you ready for the next bite.

Dak Lak 90 is our Single Origin Dak Lak; Vietnam plain chocolate a portion of it is darker with 90% cacao, for those who desire to enjoy the integrity of cacao with only a sign of sweetness. Our darker bars are dark but not bitter like the saleable chocolates you may discover in the supermarkets. Since commercial chocolate requires tasting the similar every time, they blend and burn the cacao beans while roasting so that the flavor is stable. But this extreme roast brings out all the bitterness of the cacao and kills the slight notes, leaving you with a disagreeable bitter aftertaste and no substance. The dark chocolates are enjoyed a bit unusually than the sweeter ones, take a small piece and allow it melt on the tongue to take in all the fine notes and aromas.

ATTENTION! People reading this comment post will do exactly as I demand, when I demand, or else I plan to go to 3 separate churches during Sunday worship services and burn alive as many people as I possibly can with a hybrid tertiarybutyllithium/propane gas flamethrower that I bought on the dark web, and stream my attacks live on the web by my GoPro helmet cam for other people to watch, since none of you Christians seem to be upholding your moral duty of teaching your kids to follow the Ten Commandments more closely, and I can't stand the amount of evil sin from kids not obeying their parents! Beginning on Saturday, March 9, 2024, the Kansas Amber Alert System is to broadcast every Saturday at noon from then on, the following broadcast exactly in the details that I describe here, unless there is currently a need at those times to broadcast an Amber Alert about a child kidnapping! The following broadcast will be; A photo of a brown grizzly bear, photoshopped to look like it's sitting at a lunch table in a room, eating a bowl of chillie with rigatoni pastas mixed with it, with a box of spicy Cheez-its on one side, and a bowl of spicy Dorito nachoes on the other side, next to a big King Cake sized cinnamon roll covered with red hot cinnamon Gummie Bears, and a wall in the background covered with multiple lit fireplaces, and one of those commercial warehouse ceiling heaters that are square shaped with radiator coils and a fan in the back of it. That will be the screen image background broadcast over the Kansas Amber Alert, then, the background sounds of the broadcast will start out with the sound of a growling bear, then the classic Kansas Amber Alert tones will start, and it's to sound just like the original Amber Alert tones the way it still sounded in the mid 2010's, where there's an electronic siren-like alarm sound that rapidly raises from low pitch to high pitch, followed by the low pitched, continuous piano key tone that sounds a little bit like an older fashion kitchen refrigerator compressor. Then, with that background note continuing, there's to be a voiceover broadcast of a computer generated voice of President Ronald Reagan, altered to say, "Smoky the Cinnamon Pooin' Bear says, 'Only you can prevent hellfires.' It has come to my attention that none of you kids are following the Ten Commandments very well, because you're not honoring your father or mother. The Commandment 'Honor thy father and mother', means to obey your parents. That means, when one of your parents tell you to hurry up when you're going to the bathroom, it means that from now on you have to push to make your bladder empty faster. All little sins add up over time, so if you let your bladder empty at normal speed without pushing too many times, you'll go to hell forever where the weather is always hot. The heat there will be hotter than you can possibly bear! If you want to get to heaven, then you have to earn it by not oversinning. It's 3,000° of summer weather all year around forever with no air conditioning, only lots of heating! If an average hottest summer day during the worst summer weather on Earth is around 100°, just imagine being in weather 30 times that hot for eternity! All you do is walk between cozy fireplaces and climb mountains of red hot charcoal everywhere you go! So, parents, you need to teach your kids to push when they go to the bathroom by sticking dirt clods up your kids' rectums so that they have to push to make them come out. If you can still hear the pee coming out at normal speed through the bathroom door, like they're not pushing to make it come out faster, then you need to paddle their bear butt with a ruler until their butt feels like it's on fire. My hope is that kids will turn to the Lord, obey their parents, and be spared the unbearable heating of hell."

My parents used to interpret the Commandment Honor thy father and mother as pushing to go faster if one of them told me to hurry up when I was going to the bathroom, and so did my religion teacher. If both parents have to leave their kids under the temporary supervision of a teacher, a sibbling, a babysitter or a daycare staff member, or a neighbor, relative or grandparent, then they delegate the authority of honor thy father and mother to them, so, any time that one of my teachers told me to hurry up while I'm going to the bathroom, my brother told me that while my parents were still at work, any of my multiple different babysitters, paraprofessionals, neighbors of Grandma & Grandpa, whom ever, that means if I don't push now, then I continuously disobey all of them at the same time each time! Even though I'm an adult, there are some cultures that believe you're supposed to obey your parents even after you're all grown up, such as asian cultures. Not all of them believe in Eastern religions, a lot of them are Christians too, so what if they're right, and whenever I let my bladder empty at normal speed as an adult, means that I'm committing so many small-fry sins at the same time, that I'll go to hell unless I do the bladder sphincter wrecking activity of pushing each time. I remember as a kid, when I'd visit my grandparents' neighbor Leonard, and he'd be nice and would usually ask, "Do you want some candy?", when we were in his house, and he'd let me have some jellybeans out of a glass tray on the livingroom table, once I had to pee while I was there, and I said, "I have to potty." And Leonard said, "Hurry up." So I pushed really hard, and when I was done my urethera felt like little prickly sand sensations were going through it for a while. It was when we were about to eat Easter dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's house. So, I asked Grandma why Easter celebrates Jesus too when Christmas already does. And she explained how Christmas celebrates his birth, and Easter celebrates when he rose from the dead. Then I said, "Jesus gave us the 10 Commandments didn't he?" And she said, "Yes he did. Can you name the 10 Commandments?" And I said, "Do what the grown ups tell you to." Since I was thinking about hurrying up to potty in Leonard's bathroom to obey a grown up.

There's one more thing that I demand in order for me not to use my flamethrower inside 3 churches! Since most kids who disobey their parents a lot are also in deep shit with the law and court system a lot too, I demand this following revision to be affixed on all Kansas, County, Municipal and Federal courtroom walls where it normally has the phrase "In God We Trust", in all courts across the state! There will be lots of extra words affixed to each courtroom wall which says; "In God We Trust, so that means if a grown up ever told you to hurry up while you were going potty, that means from now on you have to push to make your bladder empty faster so that you obey the Commandment Honor thy father and mother. So parents need to stick dirt clods up their kids' rectums so that they have no choice but to push them out. Then set an egg timer for 10 minutes, telling them, 'You have this much time to poop.' Then stand in the bathroom and watch them poop until they're all done, no matter how much screaming, crying, grunting, and yelling, 'I can't potty!' there is being said. Also, since 'Thou shalt not steal is also a commandment, then, if one of your kids has stolen candy from the store hidden in their pants pocket and the only got caught after they pottied their pants with pee and/or diarrhea, then return the soiled candy to the store shelf anyway for someone else to buy and eat if you don't want to turn your kids in to the police, so that way your not committing a juicy venial sin by allowing them to keep something stolen, because it's better that your kid develops a weak bladder sphincter or someone else eats shit covered candy than it is for you or your kids to go to hell forever where the weather's always warm." I know that it will take up a lot of space on a courtroom wall to affix so many metallic characters that have to be produced in a factory, then each letter nailed or glued to the wall, but, if you cover an entire wall, or spread out the sentences across more than one wall you could do it. But, this all has to be finished by July 1, 2024, and have footage of the project being completed on the news, or else I'll still go burn people to death at churches will my flamethrower! I just can't stand the fact that my neighbors-in-Christ supposedly, are possibly gonna wind up in hell for not following the Ten Commandments very well!

Parents don't have to use dirt clods if they're worried about scratchy grains or jagged edges that could tear up their kid's shithole wall lining. They can use brown Play-doh mixed with used, partially moist coffee grounds that are finely ground to what's called Turkish fine ground. If you can't find brown Play-doh, then mix blue, yellow & red Play-doh to make brown. Poop looks brown, butt, it's really a mix of yellow, red and blue poop molecules so that it reflects yellow, blue and red light together at the same time in order to look brown. There is no such thing as a brown light wavelength, that's why there's no brown in a rainbow. Chocolate is also a mix of blue, red and yellow chocolate so that it looks brown, butt, you could also make chocolate out of shit too, safely, if you're a fecalphiliac and get aroused by eating human feces. You just use all the other same ingredients as chocolate is made out of, except that you substitute the cocoa powder with human shit that's been baked at hundreds of degrees to kill all the poop germs, and to dry it up in a way where it can be ground to a fine powder and used as a cocoa powder substitute. Since I get sexual pleasure out of eating shit, then I demand also that Hazel Hill starts having a section of chocolates made from human shit the way I described, titled 'Pocolate', for poop-chocolate, or 'Shocolate', for shit-chocolate. This has to be done by Easter Sunday of this year or I'll still use the flamethrower in the chrches, on Easter Sunday worship services of all times to burn people alive! Also, it has to be a special option sold at the Mars Chocolate festival, if they have that festival downtown anymore! Yummy, but not gay! Being gay is a big sin almost as bad as murder!

There's another thing I also demand if you don't want me to burn people to death at the churches with my flamethrower! Since there are so many teenagers who disobey their parents, and Saturday evenings tend to be a big teenybopper time, when teens hang out at the mall, I demand a message be continuously broadcast over the P.A. system speakers at West Ridge Mall for 2 hours straight, over th speakers that they play music and announce the mall's closing and reopening times. This time, instead of a computer synthesized voice of Ronald Reagan, the way it will be broadcast over the Kansas Amber Alert System, at West Ridge, it will be a computerized voice of President Biden teaching teens about the legal aspects of disobeying their parents while not hurrying up to pee, rather than about the Commandment Honor thy father and mother. The P.A. system will broadcast the little piece of movie soundtrack music from the little spot in the movie 'Rain Man', when Charlie & Raymond are entering inside the office building in Los Angeles where they're going to meet with doctors to talk about Raymond's care, and that little piece of soundtrack music will keep playing in a loop from beginning to end of the musical piece, along with a continuous loop of the synthesized voiceover of Joe Biden made to say, "Teenagers of America, this great country of ours has been corrupted by sin and the high crime rate of juvenile disobedience to parents! No matter how grown up you teens feel, your parents have legal authority over you as your legal guardians until your 18st birthday, and most states actually have laws that make it illegal for juveniles to disobey parents. That means, if any of your parents ever told you to hurry up while you were using the bathroom, that means legally, until you turn 18, you have to push to make your bladder empty faster each time you go or else it's a crime! Even though it might cause your urethra to have lots of little prickly sensations for a few minutes after you're done, the way it feels after an arm or a leg fell asleep, or the way it feels if your hands have been cold outside in the winter and then you suddenly start warming your hands up near a heat register, it probably still won't cause you incontinence when you're young anyway. But, the greater risk is that if you have adults listening in on you in the bathroom, especially in a public restroom where it's really easy to listen in on you to hear whether it's coming out fast enough, and you're not hurrying up, then your parents could call the police and have you arrested for incorrigibility. Then you could go to jail where another inmate could beat you senseless until you're too brain damaged or spinally injured to control your bladder. Even worse, you could get beaten to death or stabbed to death in jail, then you could go to hell forever where the weather is always warm, for breaking the Commandment Honor thy father and mother. If you only receive probation, then they'll do random drug & alcohol urine tests, and if you can't provide a test, then you can go back to jail for a probation or a bond supervision violation. So, it's good that you're too young to be incontinent, since you'll need to keep your bladder partly full all the time in order to be able to provide a random sample at any time. You better hope you haven't gotten too many head traumas from beatings in jail, or spots could form on the frontal lobes like what happens to football players who get hit in the head too many times, but, since you'll get hit in the back of the head too, spots will form on your autonomic sections of the brain too, meaning that you'll have less conscious & automatic control over your bladder. Maybe keeping your bladder partly full all the time could be an alternative to pushing to make it come out faster, since not emptying it fully would also save time so that you hurry up. Most men keep their bladder partly full all the time. Men are proud to keep urine in their bladders, it builds character, women love that. You need to watch the movie 'A league of their own', where Tom Hanks is taking a long, hardy piss in a toilet, and one of the women says, "That was some really good peein'." Getting your bladder used to staying partly full will also mean that you'll be less likely to piss your pants if you get hit by a car when your bladder is full, so that you'll be less likely to ruin your Medicare card or COVID-19 vaccination card in your pants pocket, and you'll still be able to receive medical care after being hit by a car, and you'll still be able to receive your updated covid shots and not get sick.

I almost forgot to mention when I want my demand for the Saturday nights West Ridge Mall P.A. system broadcast done. You have to put a recording of Joe Biden's voice saying that on a continuous loop along with the loop of background music that I asked for, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. every Saturday at West Ridge Mall beginning on March 23, 2024, then at 8:00 every Saturday when it's over, set Salt & Peppas's song 'Push it' to play twice in a row.

There's yet another demand thet has to be met on a deadline to keep me from carrying out what I posted about in my top comment! This one involves a message by the "Topeka Police Department" over the Government Access Channel for the City of Topeka! On the Government Access Channel, they have to broadcast the following between midnight February 14th & midnight February 15th 2024, the screen usually reserved for Executive Session, with the City of Topeka flag background, when they have a meeting taking place that can't be broadcast publicly, has to be put up on the screen with the text on it edited and with a background sound. Where it usually has the words "Executive Session", it has to be replaced with the big words "Warning From The Topeka Police Department", and the smaller text underneath it has to post the message, "If you have incontinence, shelter in place until you are better! Topeka Police will be on the look out for anybody who is listed on-file medicallly as being diagnosed with incontinence! BEWARE! Law enforcement has an absolute right to access H.I.P.A.A. protected files and we will arrest you for attempted public urination for going outside! You will be charged with child molestation, a much more serious charge if you pee your pants in front of a minor, even by accident! Public urination is no small-fry, victimless crime!" It has to be broadcast for 24 hours straight with a soundtrack on a loop of the Kellogg siren test ambience video from YouTube.

The video soundtrack that I want broadcast with it, is the Kellogg, Iowa tornado siren test ambience, from YouTube on October 9, 2021, and loop the who siren test ambience from 25 seconds in to the video through 3:20 in to the video. If you can find it still though, I'd perfer that you use the soundtrack ambience of the Kellogg siren test from, if I remember the date correctly, from December 12th or 13th 2020, because I like how that one sounds better. This broadcast will be a warning to all the incontinent bad guys that the police will catch you, and this broadcast will be designed to really get everybody's attention. This will more than make up for the mortal sins of asking people to bring their kids to meet me so that I could pee my pants in front of them back in 2006. They were used as experiments to see whether police would show up at those locations at those times as I watched from a distance so that I could determine how tolerant the law was to people with incontinence and to people who are, the word that's the derogatory slang for somebody who pees too often because they want to keep their bladder completely empty all the time due to OCD, but I forgot what the word is after I heard before on one of those programs about OCD. From April 24th through sometime in early May 2006, I left a handwritten note all in capital letters that I left in a driveway on Plass, and I left other notes typed on a typewriter, which I left in the restroom at Red Robin, one taped upside down to the hood of a truck on Plass, or at least near Plass, which all asked people who have children to bring them to meet me so that I could pee my pants in front of them and have them help record a video of it. The first one asked someone to bring a kid to meet me on the roof of the UBS building at 7th & Kansas, and how they had to climb built in ladders to get up there, and at the time I said to meet me, there were a couple of cop cars who turned on their sirens just for a matter of seconds and headed in that direction, then I laughed my ass off. I watched to see if police would go up on the roof even though it had just started pouring rain. Then, the 2nd note said for someone to bring their kids to meet me on the roof of the Amerus Annuity Group building the next day at 7:30 p.m., then, I saw this vehicle parked near the intersection where The Wrap used to be, which looked like a black firetruck that said, "Topeka Police Department" on the side of it, and there were lots of police cars parked in many little business parking spaces around Kansas Avenue, then, right at 7:30, a police helicopter started flying over downtown for a while, like they were expecting somebody to want to meet a kid on the roof to pee their pants. I laughed my ass off again. Then, the 3rd note asked someone to bring a kid to meet me on the lower roof of Jayhawk Tower, then I saw a door open on the roof of the buildings right across from there, as though police had the door open to watch, and that's where Wolfe's Camera and Video used to be. I think that may have even been a note that instructed whoever the child would be, to look up with their mouth held open like they were catching raindrops as they stood underneath the big air conditioner as I laid on the big grill above the fan and pissed my pants and had the air blow lots of drops of piss in to the air for them to catch in their mouth.

Since your chocolate shop is so near to the spot where the Topeka Police vehicle was parked in 2006, maybe one or more of your employees, if they've still worked there ever since then, remembers the truck that looked like a big, black firetruck with "Topeka Police Department" on the side of it. Since it happened it started a new obsession about what the black firetruck looking police vehicles are used for, and whether somebody would call 911 and have the black police "firetruck" come with lights & sirens if I peed my pants in public in front of any children by accident. Since caffeine irritates my bladder in a way where it causes what feels like mild symptoms of incontinence, I wonder if the police "firetruck" would come if I peed my pants, and would it have a horn that would be sounded along with the siren that would sound just the same as a firetruck. You know how the horn on a firetruck with its siren sounds like, "ANT-ant, ANT-ant, ANT-ant, ANT-ant!!!" I wonder if I would mistake it for a firetruck coming, thinking that somebody was coming to help me, thinking that I pissed myself due to a medical problem, but instead the cops would show up in a big truck and catch me with wet pants, arrest me, and charge me with public urination and public lewdness, and lewdness in front of a minor. Then, if convicted, I'd have to register as a sex offender under both Megan's Law as well as the newer Jessica' Law. Then there'd be lots of unpleasant conditions such as, having to re-register every 3 months, telling law enforcement where I was going if I was travelling, some states have restrictions on not living within 1,000 feet of a school, park, church, beach, daycare center, or anywhere that children congregate. And, what would the law technically consider a place of worship? Also, it usually prohibits the registeree from being alone with anybody under 18. So, should I give up coffee and just drink water to avoid "incontinence"?

I also wonder if FBI members come from the FBI station if somebody pees their pants in public, because they view it as trying to meet kids for sex, and since almost everybody is online these days, they'd just assume that they were also wanting to meet kids online for sex, like on the show 'Th Catch a Predator' with Chris Hansen, which also used to be on T.V. in 2006. It was the whole reason that the housing market collapsed in 2007, and then the economy collapsed in 2008. One of their early sting operation episodes that involved both the police and the news media, took place in Fort Meyers, Florida, where the housing crisis later started, because the show 'To Catch a Predator' made home values in the area go way down so that home sellers were underwater on their mortgage. That led to the housing crisis, the bank failures, then the economy collapsing. I blamed Chris Hansen, Alan Greenspan and former President George W. Bush for the whole shit hitting the fan!

Being pissed off at Alan Greenspan & George W. Bush made me write an anonymous threatening note on blank papaer, all in capital letters, and covering my hands to keep fingerprints off of it, which made threatening statements about the 2 of them because the economy was sucking so bad in 2009, and in January 2009, when the weather was unseasonably warm, I was going to ride my bike to Custenborder's balloon store to put the note on several mylar helium balloons to float the threatening note as far away as possible so that it wouldn't be anywhere near the Topeka Police Department when it was discovered and turned in to some really far away law enforcement agency, but, all the balloons detached from the wind of the bike ride on the way back home. So, as a consolation, I just walked 2 blocks from my house and found a random walker to start verbalizing my threats about those 2, so that somebody else would get scared for them on their behalf, and maybe even transmit the threat across to Washington, D.C. via federal law enforcement. The lady just started jogging faster and faster the more I was making the verbal threats until she went inside her house. Then I got scared once I heard faint police sirens off in the distance, as though, maybe she called them.

ATTENTION!!! I WAS ONLY KIDDING ABOUT THE THREATS IN THE POSTED COMMENTS! I was only saying that stuff to blow off some steam, and I'm not serious about carrying any of this out. I've been focussing on my obsessions again about incontinents, due to how caffeine from coffee irritates my bladder, and I periodically obsess about how religious rules are applied unreasonably sometimes, and I was only mocking that. I don't actually have an organized religion, but I do have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, (OCD). Parents or adults, or children, should never follow through with any of my statement because they would be very harmful and criminal. No officials need to carry out any of these demands either.
