Ranked in the Best Chocolate of 2024

Origin & Craftsmanship
Made by Goodnow Farms using single-origin beans from the remote village of San Juan Chivite in Guatemala. The local Q’eqchi Maya farmers harvest cacao from wild trees surrounding their village and handle custom fermentation and drying protocols exclusive to Goodnow Farms. 
Unlike most hot cocoa mixes, this one is not alkalized, meaning it retains more of the natural flavanols and flavor integrity. 

Flavor Profile
Expect a hot cocoa with a light, articulate taste reminiscent of the cacao fruit itself — bright fruit notes, warm earth tones, and a crisp cocoa finish. This distinguishes it from more conventional mixes by offering bean-to-cup flavor depth. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Heat with your choice of milk (or plant milk) and stir until fully smooth. First taste the chocolate’s rich cacao base, then let subtle fruit tones emerge, finishing with a clean cocoa finish. For pairing, try a warm spiced latte (cinnamon or nutmeg), or enjoy it alongside a buttery shortbread. For a non-food pairing, sit back with a soft jazz playlist or a crisp winter evening—this is a cocoa to savour.

Summary

This Asochivite Hot Cocoa from Goodnow Farms offers serious cocoa clarity and origin distinction—with bean-to-bar DNA in a sipping format. It’s perfect for those who want more than “just hot chocolate,” and appreciate craft, quality sourcing, and flavored nuance.
