Coracao Confections Cacoco Drinking Chocolate 60% Rich Dark

South American Heirloom Cacao is used in every Cacoco drinking chocolate for a perfect balance of fruity, floral and nutty notes. All cacao is certified organic from biodynamic farms that support lush ecological diversity, and all farming partners are paid fair trade wages or above. 60% Rich Dark has a deep, concentrated flavor with barely there hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. As with all drinking chocolates, its consistency is velvety and smooth, much thicker and more luscious than typical powdered hot cocoa. This version also contains lucuma, a fruit from South America, which gives the drink a natural, subtle sweetness.
