Dark Chocolate Around 90% Ish?

Hello, I've slowly been getting into dark chocolate. I have always tried 90% dark chocolate from grocery stores, but I had to force myself to eat it. A friend gave me a piece he buys from a "niche" store, and it was 90% but it tasted amazing. Does anyone have any recommendations to where I can buy good dark quality chocolate? I also can't ask my friend for the stores name because he moved away.

Thank you!!

Pears and almond

Guys, this one was too aromatic for me. 💀

I don't think I like pears in my chocolate.

Agua Escondida 75% by Ruvido

generally think the not-rough-neither-smooth texture doesn't do them a favour (although it is their schtick...), but this bar has surprised me for its complexity and pleasantness. the Costa Rica from the same drop was already very good.

this bar pretty much tastes exactly the way the wrapper defines it. deep raisin/rum chocolatey flavours, with a long buttery and citrusy (like bergamot - with slight pleasant bitterness). the buttery note is particularly intense and indulging, this does really taste of panettone in a chocolate bar. it's amazing to perceive complexity in a grainy and crunchy bar as well, e.g. Orfève is a great example.

Ruvido mentions the beans undergo a 7-days fermentation in Tabebuia Rosea wood boxes, with following drying in artificial gas-powered machines + cement patio finish. I don't think I've hard of this farm before but I'm interested in more.

Not hot chocolate but a tea with hints of cocoa and honey

So, I was sipping this tea for the first time yesterday, thought it would be like any other floral tea but no. I was really really surprised to taste hints of cocoa and honey in every sip.

Cocoa in a tea, you guys. Mind blown! Instantly loved it because I love chocolate.

Meiji chocolate bar

Is this Japan’s equivalent to US Hersheys? Like is it a staple in stores I think it is much better by comparison, and I am wishing it was in the grocery aisle at my store and not just in specially shops.
