    Matt,
    ...check for a flavor profile you like the looks of.

    If nothing stands out, the Colombia - Arauca is a safe bet. Good for that first roast batch if you and or your R.E. Mogul wife get the urge to give simple roast batch a whirl. (Do not tell me that your wife cooks too. That'd be enough to just be plain rubbing it in people's face. Like being married to the young Martha Stewart, business sense, can cook and garden, digs Snoop and puts tons of butter on everything. But I digress.);
    The aroma of roasting is worth the time at least once, much less munching them down after you shell them and the Colombia are the most consistently easy to shell without any special tools or eqpt. Just roast in a skillet or in the oven, wait for the 'popcorn sounds' and the aroma and start pulling a few toasty's out, shell and taste them until you get to the point that you think they are done, pull half and go a notch further and now you know, lol. You could also get all experimental up in there and keep stats on start time, heat settings, roast batch size, and whatnot to make duplicating your choice for 'choice roast'.
    Pull fractions of the product out of the heat and onto paper plates labeled 1,2,3... and keep notes when 1 came off and any impressions, same on down the line till all your fractions are off. Just like homebrewing several batches only all in half an hour, lol.

    Now you got your first roadmap if you want to repeat.

    All that is why I suggest be sure to get a pound+ of Nibs too so you got something to compare to. You will find that the whole beans are easily better than what you get as nibs from any source.

    Still and all, the convenience of nibs can not be beat cacao-wise. Chocolate-wise, the upper end retail bars are a mighty tasty snack, fo sho.

    Then there's the boutique and pro chocolate shops. One of note used to be a broad out of houston that did some noted standout artisinal fancy-pants work but I'd expect Denver Boulder Aspen to have some serious contenders in that realm and you are a prime target for their expertise. Get some. You had a good week, what the hell. Score some points with Martha too.

    Get that iodine man, do your patch tests. I'ma tella you! You no regretta!
    Hell, while your at Amazon ordering up that I get the best Vitamin B-Complex sups and don't spare the horses. Take a good slug before eating much but after you send a couple glasses of clean water down the hatch and absorb those H2O for 10min in the AM, then send some B into the dealio. I just chew sups up sometimes to get all that fine detail. I'ma tella you! Interested to see what you find to be The Best B-Complex sups bar none.
    Snoop say whaaaa - everyday
