Zuma Dominican Republic Hot Chocolate offers a luxurious single-origin experience made with 35% natural, non-alkalised cocoa powder, responsibly sourced primarily from the lush Medina, Yamasá, and Puerto Plata regions of the Dominican Republic. Each sip transports you to the Caribbean, revealing the cocoa beans' deep, dark and intricate flavours—reflecting the rich soils of the tropical Atlantic coast.
Sourced from FUNDOPO, a smallholder organisation supporting local growers with training, education, healthcare, and a better quality of life. This hot chocolate is as ethical as it is exceptional—a true connoisseur's choice that you can feel good about serving.
Leaning more earthy than sweet, this hot chocolate delivers a rounded, medium-intensity flavour with a soft, roasted depth and a touch of smokiness. Natural cocoa bitterness, nearing on sour, adds gentle structure without overpowering, whilst raisin-like red fruit and subtle nuttiness offer a mellow lift. The chocolatey base remains rich and grounded, pairing beautifully with syrups and lattes. Creamy and smooth in texture, with a long, slightly warming finish that's quietly bold, indulgent, and full of character—a single-origin standout, properly made.
Simple to prepare: add 28g (1 scoop) to your cup, mix with 30ml hot water until smooth, steam 250ml milk, pour in whilst stirring, dust with cocoa powder and serve. Approximately 35 servings per 1kg pouch—economical for high-volume café service.
Exceptional beyond the classic serve: create an Iced Mocha by combining with a double espresso and pouring over ice and milk. Try a Black Forest Hot Chocolate by mixing with cherry syrup for a dramatic, festive serve. Or craft an Iced Chocolate Dalgona with cold foam poured over iced chocolate for a visually stunning, layered masterpiece.
