Sainsburys have stopped selling their very tasty own brand Utz certified drinking cocoa.

It was my most favourite of drinking cocoas, too. 

Can anybody recommend one to try, which has a 'rich flavour which covers the tongue'?

The bar stewards.

Many thanks.

I worked directly for the chap that owns the business for a brief period in a cafe on a German Christmas market and thereby got extensive tasting opportunities The Criollo has a really intensely rich taste. It's all organic/fairtrade etc etc as well. 

Does come with a price tag though (€9.50)

I like a square of good quality 70-85% plain chocolate whizzed up with hot water or milk using an aerolatte.

I cut regular hot chocolate powder 2:1 with pure cocoa powder for my kids because they find the regular stuff far too sweet.

It's been the pure cocoa powder I've been drinking without sugar being added. 

Hardcore !! Goodluck in your search.

I use this stuff: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hasslachers-Solid-Colombian-Drinking-Chocolate/dp/...

3 squares will get you a nice strong drink, 4 is good for a proper caffeine buzz from the chocolate.

You can also get it at M&S.

I just use cocoa powder, with any sugar added to taste (none usually, depending on the sweetness of the plant milk). The Suma one is really nice, smooth and not bitter. 

Ha ha, thanks, hopefully I'll find something soonish. I think I start to get where the Incas were coming from, in their veneration of the cocoa bean. 

How about this:

Failing that, I bought 100 packs of the Utz certified cocoa and would be willing to sell them to you for £15 each.

I'm not a hot choc person but get my dark choc buzz from spreads - of which the likes cannot be purchased. You need a coffee grinder. Keep in fridge if you can resist not eating it in one hit !

Mill 2 hoppers of desiccated coconut (patience! produces an oily paste / powder) 

Mix in small bowl / container with 2 dst spoons cocoa 

Mash with soya milk to get a thick paste

Blend in 1 dst spoon liquid honey

Eat with rice cakes, biscuits or crackers - for the crunch

The plusses for me are that I can vary the recipe to taste and know exactly the contents and origin - and miss out on sugar entirely. I currently favor a variant with an additional 2 dst spoons of carob powder.
