Spiced Hot Cocoa

Goodnow Farms Spiced Hot Cocoa is a single-origin drinking chocolate inspired by traditional Central American chocolatl, made with house-pressed cacao and Pimienta Gorda (allspice) sourced by Burlap & Barrel from Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. The cocoa is never alkalized, so the natural flavor of the bean and its flavanols stay intact. The result is a warming, savory-sweet cup with real spice character.
