Perfect for the Valentine's Day season, this sampler of matcha chocolates called "Matcha Choco Tabekurabe Set" contains not one, but five different varieties running the spectrum of intensities, beginning with the most modest 3% concentration, and running up to the extreme level of 24% concentration. As far as chocolates are concerned, they are surely the world's most intense, as their press release describes them: "At this point, it's like eating pure matcha."
