Your NICARAGUA Hot Cocoa has a rich warm taste that melts in your mouth in Raw Milk!
From the moment it hits the mug, the aroma is rich, deep, and inviting—exactly what you want on a cold day. The flavor is incredibly smooth with a natural cocoa richness that tastes pure and authentic, not overly sweet or artificial like so many mixes.
What really sets it apart is the depth of the El Carmen cacao. It has a beautiful balance of warm, chocolaty intensity with subtle fruit notes that linger pleasantly after each sip. The texture is velvety and luxurious, especially when mixed with warm milk, and it feels like a true craft chocolate experience—not just a drink.
This is hot cocoa for people who appreciate real chocolate. Comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I’ll be keeping this stocked all winter long. Highly recommended!
Shocked how creamy all of these hot chocolate are. However of the 3 I purchased ( along with Mexico and Guatemala) this one is my favorite. While the other 2 has interesting taste, Nicaragua by far the most chocolatey. I mix 1 tbsp with 1/2 cup of almond milk and it’s my nightly semi sweet treat that is good for me. If I want it stronger tasting then I add the 100 percent cacao. Definitely try it if you are debating whether to get it or not
Of the five single origin chocolates offered, this is my favourite one. They are all amazing, this one to me has a certain warm richness I particularly like. This is despite using less than recommended on the packaging, I use 2 tbsp per 300 ml, and it is full of flavour.
Really enjoying the cocoa… I mainly got it for my morning espresso… and it’s a wonderful add-in. On a side note, we were accidentally sent some chocolate bars as well, and we really enjoyed those as a dessert… smooth and silky.
El Carmen Hot Cocoa
I ordered your 4 hot cocoa blends. I think this was my favorite, followed by the Asochivete. I've really enjoyed sampling all of them.
The cocoa is very rich, delicious, and gourmet. It does take a little more effort to stir in then typical hot cocoa mix but is well worth it.
I bought a few bars as gifts. I ate all but one of them myself, they are too good to share.
We tried both the El Carmen and the Almendra. I preferred the El Carmen. While both were bursting with unique flavor, El Carmen had a richness that the Almendra did not. Both certainly have their place. Go nuts, try them both. Treat yourself!
First Goodnow Farms hot chocolate experience, and it’s amazing yumminess in a mug! There wasn’t any specific directions on how much liquid to powder, so followed other reviews and went with 1/2c milk to 1T cocoa .. and it was perfect. Easily mixed to a creamy cocoa drink with a whisk, which also added a frothed top as a plus. This is definitely on the sweeter side of the cocoa spectrum due to the sweet caramel tones, but a delicious change. Looking forward to enjoying more and totally recommend.
