How does the terroir affect the flavor profile of single-origin chocolates?

I've noticed single-origin chocolates are becoming more popular. How does the terroir, or the environment where the cacao is grown, influence the flavor profile of the chocolate? Any brands or types you'd recommend trying?

I think terroir plays a crucial role in shaping chocolate flavors! Though factors like soil composition and climate can influence the cocoa beans' taste, giving chocolates from different regions unique flavors. Have you noticed any specific flavor differences?
