Coffee and Chocolate Pairings: Stimulate the Senses

This chocolate pairs perfectly with a mild and balanced pour-over or filter coffee. Gently roasted coffee with an undertone of mint and citrus add depth to the brisk taste of Lindt Excellence Dark Mint Intense. For a more refreshing alternative, serve the coffee iced.

For a tasting experience like no other, pair Lindt Excellence Chilli with a strong, dark Americano. Bitter coffee perfectly blends the dominant flavour of chocolate with the delayed surge of mild heat from the chili for a cooling and cleansing palate. To make the experience even more invigorating, provide a lovely contrast for the palate by pairing with a cold brew coffee. 

Bring out the roasted notes and underlying hint of vanilla in Lindt Excellence 85% by pairing with a strong flat white. The rich, deep flavour and smooth finish of a flat white lends a rounded mouthfeel that contrasts with this robust chocolate. 

For something slightly sweeter, try pairing Lindt Excellence Orange Intense with a macchiato. The  zesty taste of candied orange and the distinctive notes of almond in the chocolate harmonise with the notes of roasted coffee and hint of spice in a macchiato – a true feast for the senses.

The creaminess and full-bodied chocolate flavour of Lindt Excellence 78% pairs best with a lighter, milkier coffee – such as a cappuccino. Hints of caramel and rich notes in the cappuccino balance the cocoa flavour for a harmonious, smooth and sweet taste. For a finishing touch, add a sprinkle of chocolate to your cappuccino. Either way, this pairing is a true delight. 

Though perhaps not the most obvious choice, our darkest chocolate bar pairs best with a milky latte. The bold flavour of a high cocoa percentage chocolate is balanced by the creamy coffee, for a melt in the mouth feel that enriches and softens the strong cocoa character.

The mild flavours of smooth Lindt Excellence 70% blend seamlessly with the creamy texture of a gentle Latte Macchiato to enhance its underlying notes of vanilla. The result is a mellow and silky texture and warm, sweet flavour.

The notes of cream, caramel and honey found in Lindt Excellence Extra Creamy are best paired with a café latte. The delicate flavour of the milky coffee enhances the creaminess for an exceptionally rich and smooth melt and stunning mouthfeel. An exceptionally decadent combination.
