Taza Chocolate Mexicano Stone-Ground Chocolate Disc Variety Pack, 8 Count — Organic, Vegan

Taza Chocolate Organic Mexicano Disc Variety Pack delivers eight individually wrapped, stone-ground Mexican-style chocolate discs that highlight bold, gritty texture and concentrated flavor in vegan, gluten-free bars.

These Mexicano discs are handcrafted using traditional granite millstones at Taza’s Somerville, MA facility, emphasizing a coarse, rustic grind that preserves intense cacao character. The sampler contains eight distinct flavors—ranging from pure dark to spicy and aromatic—each portioned at 1.35 ounces for sipping, baking, snacking, or melting into beverages. Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and crafted under Taza’s Direct Trade program, the pack is designed for people who want transparent sourcing and assertive chocolate personality without dairy or soy.

What makes stone-ground Mexicano discs different from regular chocolate?

Stone-ground chocolate is milled on hand-carved granite wheels, leaving a coarser particle size and a more tactile mouthfeel than finely conched bars. This process preserves volatile flavor compounds and delivers a pronounced cacao presence with rustic texture rather than the ultra-smooth finish of conventional chocolate.

• Coarse grind produces a gritty, bold texture and concentrated cocoa flavor
• Traditional Mexican-style recipe emphasizes spicy and aromatic infusions
• Each disc is a single-serving format ideal for melting into drinks or savoring

Which flavors are included and how do they differ?

The variety pack includes eight unique discs showcasing a range from bright and spiced to deep and nutty. Flavors are balanced to offer contrast—some highlight heat or spice, others showcase pure cacao intensity or complementary ingredients like vanilla and almond.

• Cacao Puro: pure dark cacao, focused and chocolate-forward
• Guajillo Chili & Chipotle Chili: two levels of warm, smoky pepper notes
• Cinnamon & Vanilla: aromatic, sweet-spiced accents for lighter pairing
• Coffee, Sea Salt & Salted Almond: roast, saline, and crunchy-nut dimensions
• 85% Super Dark: concentrated cacao for bitter, intense chocolate lovers

How can I use these discs—snacking, baking, or beverages?

The compact discs are versatile: eat them straight for a concentrated chocolate experience, grate or chop into baking recipes, or dissolve in hot or iced milk and non-dairy alternatives to create instant Mexican-style hot chocolate. Their strong flavor means a little goes a long way in recipes and drinks.

• Snack: unwrap and savor as an intense single-serve chocolate
• Beverage: melt a disc into hot water or milk for spiced chocolate drinks
• Baking/Garnish: finely chop or shave into cookies, cakes, or atop desserts
• Pairing: match spicy discs with stout beer or robust coffee, sweeter discs with tea or fruit

Who is this for? The Taza Mexicano Disc Variety Pack suits adventurous chocolate lovers who prefer bold, unrefined texture and clear ethical sourcing. It’s ideal for vegans, those avoiding gluten and dairy, home bartenders making rustic hot chocolate, bakers seeking intense chocolate accents, and anyone curious to sample Mexican-style stone-ground cacao without committing to full-size bars. If you value traceable cacao, assertive taste, and single-serve convenience, this sampler offers an accessible way to explore Taza’s Direct Trade bean-to-bar approach.
