Four of our coffee team in front of the roasting machine

Our worker-owned, solar-generating roastery

At our Massachusetts HQ, our team batch-roasts coffee daily under a 1,418 panel solar array, bringing out the best flavors of each harvest. At the lighter end of the roast spectrum, we accentuate the unique fruity and floral notes within the beans. As the roast length increases, the natural sugars in the coffee beans caramelize and darken to elicit a richer body. Our darkest roasts fully express the beans’ natural oils, yielding subtle smokiness and flavors akin to dark chocolate. At every level, our expert team creates a smooth, clean, and balanced cup with reliable consistency from batch to batch.

Q&A

I am trying to find out whether this is safe for a severe peanut allergy. Is this cocoa processed in a facility with peanuts or coming from a grower that also grows peanuts? Thank you!
Hi Eugenia, Our hot cocoa is manufactured on equipment that processes products containing tree nuts, soy, wheat & eggs, so we hope that info helps you make an informed decision. Our chocolate chips are produced in a separate facility that is free of the 8 major allergens so this may be an option for you. https://shop.equalexchange.coop/collections/chocolate-chips
What is the amount of caffeine in 2 tblsp. of mix?
Hi Kathy, We do not test our hot cocoa for caffeine content, but typically, the caffeine content of hot cocoa ranges from 2 to 20 milligrams per cup (using 2 tbsp of the mix per cup).
Ship to Canada? How do I order single can - website offers only 1 Box of 6 cans....
Hi Paula, while we're unable to ship to Canada, our sister trading organization La Siembra has this cocoa available to ship to you under their brand Camino at https://camino.ca/products/hot-chocolate/all-our-hot-chocolates. The Equal Exchange webstore ships products within the US and by the case quantity only.
How much potassium in a serving of ORGANIC HOT COCOA MIX? Thanks!
There are 408mg of potassium per 3tbsp serving. You can see this and other nutritional information by clicking the "view nutritional information" under the ingredients list https://shop.equalexchange.coop/collections/cocoa/products/organic-hot-cocoa-mix-12oz#jump--out
For how long can one store the Organic Hot Cocoa Mix 12 oz unopened and still safely consume it? I would like to make it part of my emergency food supply!
Thanks for reaching out about our hot cocoa and including it in your emergency food supply! Our cocoa can dates are a best by date, rather than expiration dates, meaning we recommend consuming before this date for the best experience. Consuming beyond the best by date could have a decrease in quality and eventually become unsafe to consume; therefore we can't guarantee anything beyond those dates, and it is up to the discretion of the customer. We would recommend the Dark Hot Chocolate over the Hot Cocoa for long term storage (at your discretion), because the Hot Cocoa contains milk powder, which could change in flavor/become less shelf stable more quickly than the Dark Hot.
Do you provide samples? We'd like to taste hot cocoa. Thank you Simona
Sorry Simona, we do not have any sample sizes versions of our hot cocoa, although you can purchase a single can to try.
