Voted 5/5 | I am an espresso drinker, and don't drink coffee...thus I sometimes crave that afternoon kick when high up some steep and cold iced up waterfall....I hate milk chocolate or your typical American/Euro brand hot chocolate, way too sweet for me....I tried my first true "drinking" chocolate at Whole Foods and am now hooked...in fact I don't even miss my morning espresso if I can sip on this all day from my thermos....perfect with hot water, milk would ruin it in my opinion....tons of options at your local organic store I am sure...these guys are out of Santa Fe | | Posted Feb 1, 2008 12:43 pm |
