Taza's Stone Ground, or "Mexican style" chocolate is not my cup of tea. It's very crumbly, almost chalky, in texture. I'm not a big texture person when it comes to food in general, but it does matter to me for chocolate. One of the things that makes chocolate so appealing is that its melting point is slightly below human body temperature, which makes it literally melt in your mouth. A chocolate that crumbles takes that experience away, even if the flavor itself is not bad.
