Oaxacan Spice Drinking Chocolate

$13.00

WHY WE LOVE IT
Hijita, a Latina chocolatier, created this Oaxacan Spice Drinking Chocolate as a luxurious homage to our chocolate traditions. Artisanally crafted with 55% single-origin, roasted and unfermented Oaxacan cacao. Expertly spiced with Mexican-grown cinnamon and vanilla bean, both sustainably sourced from Veracruz. A hint of Mexican sea salt from Colima adds the perfect balance. This ready-to-make powdered chocolate is a piece of Mexican heritage in a cup. 

This is extremely rare and special cacao, sourced directly from the plots of Dionisia Garcia, a beacon of guardianship for cacao in the mountains of Chinantla, Oaxaca. Doña Dionisia comes from generations of guardians of the Oaxacan cacao legacy.
