I have to tell all of you about this contest that Amano Chocolate has going on. Amano makes the best single origin chocolates that I have ever tasted - each dark chocolate bar is distinct in flavor and highlights the flavors (fruitiness, richness, earthiness) that comes naturally to the cocoa produced in that region. Now, they running a contest to see who will win a year's supply of their excellent (and expensive) chocolate.
