Most memorable chocolate experience:
I had a bar of 72% dark chocolate from Venezuela made from the carenero superior bean. It was amazing. There were some flavors that I never before would have associated with chocolate. Hints of cherry and that sweet smell of tobacco. It was wonderful.
My favorite chocolate is:
Amano Cuyagua

Eric- I visited Pam and Bob Coopers "Original Hawaiin Chocolate Factory" in Kona. They were not selling beans or pods at that time. I think your best bet would be the Kauai Cacao Coop: http://steelgrass.org/chocolate/cooperative.html

In case you are not familar with Chocolate Alchemy, this is another site to purchase beans (other than Hawaiin):
