“For $4.79, it was worth a taste.
Imagine classic cocoa-roma with a healthy dose of cinnamon, and yes, a tinge of cayenne. A few minutes later I got to pour in some hot milk and stir it up and take a sip…it doesn’t hit you right at first, as evidenced by Sandy’s reaction. “It’s not so spicy…oh wait…*cough* it is,” she said with a slight pain-free grimace. For some, that first hit might be a little much, but trust me, it gets better as tastebuds adjust. The spicy cocoa has the classic hot chocolate taste of “too rich to be milk chocolate, too sweet to be dark chocolate” with a heavy, heavy dose of cinnamon, like there’s a full stick of it right in your cup. I’m almost convinced that’s what most of the “spice” comes from, except there’s enough cayenne to throw its weight around in there without getting out of whack. This cocoa’s absolutely delicious from first sip to last gulp.”
