This rooibos bonbon recipe celebrates the delicate balance between the rich, deep flavour of Matsiro 70% dark couverture chocolate and the earthy, subtly sweet notes of rooibos tea. The choice of rooibos was inspired by its shared Madagascan origin with Matsiro chocolate, and by the red fruit notes both products exhibit, enhancing their natural flavour harmony.
