Omanhene Mint Hot Cocoa Mix, 12-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 4)

Lucky to find this "true and authentic hot cocoa mix". I was looking for cocoa mixes without corn syrup or dry milk. Think I've found it in this product.The Omanhene organization has a website under that name, and the package label says the company works out of the state of Wisconsin.The label has lots of very interesting facts, such as:A) "In a unique process, our beans are fermented between banana leaves and dried in the warm African sun. Then we roast, grind and press the beans to extract the finest natural cocoa powder available anywhere....."B). "Omanhene" (OH -mahn-HEE-nee) comes from the Twi language and is the title for the traditional king or chief, the repository of ethical and moral authority in Ghana."We've tried this at our house both with milk and with water, and thought it very good tasting, sugar not overpowering.Our order was a pack of four, 12 ounces each, nice seal under the plastic lid.Some nutrition facts are: 14 servings of 2 tbsp each per 12 ounce-container...Which works out to: 80 calories per serving, 5 calories fat, zero transfat, zero saturated fat, and 0.5 gram of fatZero cholesterol; 5 mg sodium. (Low)20 grams carb 2 grams fiber16 grams sugar 1 gram proteinMixing directions are on the label. Again, lucky to have this alternative to corn syrup, dry milk, and standard cocoa mixes. Recommended, and hope you like this, too.

I have been on a quest to find a really good hot cocoa mix. After sifting through many types and reviews I decided to try this one. Sadly, this mix is kind of blah...it is not bad but not anything better than what I buy at the supermarket. I like cocoa that is rich, mildly sweet with a hint of saltiness. I did not find this mix rich at all (yes, I followed the directions) and did not detect any salt, it was mildly sweet--maybe minimally would be more accurate. Perhaps, after trying it a couple more times the taste will grow on me? I will say it does have a uniqueness about it. All and all, I have to say that I would not suggest this product.

its one of the best chocolate powder out there!i found this brand by asking my barista who using that as mocha syrup.many reputed baristas across the country using the as chocolate syrup to make their mocha.Tip = despite recipe instruction, i have found that if you mix 2 spoon powder +1 spoon hot water, mix it to make paste than mix with milk or anything else; it bring up flavor more intense as oppose to directly mixing with milk. And please real milk rather than powder one to enjoy this.also, way better than fair trade, pure cocoa not alkalize, and its nothing but cocoa and sugar!

This is the first product I have found that has a true old-fashioned hot cocoa flavor. I have some health issues where I cannot eat refined sugars and high fructose corn syrup, etc., so this works great for me. It tastes wonderful. I mix it with the powdered milk I also get on Amazon and that way I cut down on prep time and I pre-mix it so I can take it with me and just add water. Don't hesitate to get this especially if you're on a restricted diet since it doesn't have a lot of chemical fillers.

We are really serious cocoa drinkers in my house and I feel like we've tried every cocoa powder there is. Bought Omanhene becuase of the reviews, and while it's not bad, it is toooooo sweet. Shocking because even with my serious sweet tooth, I don't want to drink this stuff. Maybe the ratio between chocolate to sugar isn't quite right. Kinda like drinking sugar milk with some chocolate thrown in instead of the other way around.Sorry Omanhene... I thought I would like you a lot more than I do.

I was searching for a great hot chocolate mix to replace my beloved Ghiradelli mix. I had recently learned that most American chocolate companies are still buying cocoa from slavers. (Forbes Magazine ran a recent article about it.) I couldn't find a good fair trade cocoa in town, but Omanhene was on amazon. I ordered it and loved it! It is not as sweet as i am used to. I use three tablespoons to make a cup. But it is delicious, and as far as i can ascertain, the farmers involved don't enslave children.

Omanhene is the best cocoa (also bars, baking chocolate, etc.) one can find - if one can find it.Entirely produced in Ghana - from beans - not manufactured from previously processed components in Europe. I understand that hard-core chocolate snobs pinpoint this speck of West Africa as the mecca for the best on earth. One can taste that.The trouble is getting your hands on some. I'd rather deal with my grocer than Amazon. Addictive.

I first tasted this hot chocolate at a coffee shop in Portland and thought it was excellent. It tastes like very good quality hot chocolate and the ingredient list is simple. As an added bonus, the subscribe & save price through Amazon makes this an excellent value.
