One of my souvenirs from the most recent trip to Davao City was this box of instant cacao mix from Cacaomistry. I do try these products to have my chocolate drink fix. Of course, my go-to drink whether at home or the office is Swiss Miss Dark Chocolate. But I try to find others that I can enjoy. I wrote about the Amazon chocolate mix I got from a trip to Bangkok last year. So I was curious to find this mix at a chocolate-themed store in Davao City.
 |
| A box contained 6 28g packs of cacao mix. It already says unsweetened and dairy free so you should expect it to be so when you finally taste the drink. |
 |
| Details at the back of the box include nutrition information, ingredients and maker (or in this case, processor). I was actually surprised to read that this came from a company in the city of my residence, Antipolo, instead of Davao. Davao is just the source of the cacao. |
 |
| The nutrition information didn't offer any numbers at all! I was wondering how this passed quality control or DTI. Were I to assume the values to be zero? |
 |
| Each pack bears the same design found in the box. |
 |
| Preparation instructions as well as the expiration date are at the back of the pack. |
I found the basic mix to be on the bland side. Though I have not tried it yet, some milk and sweetener (perhaps muscovado sugar) could probably improve the taste. I sort of expected the taste to be closer to the classic tsokolate drink based on the tableya. I thought it was far from that. I will give some updates on this when I finally come up with a better way to enjoy this.
