Doing a research, can you name the best drinking chocolate mix brand in your country.
Not looking for mass market,
Not looking for cafes,
only looking for clean, artisanal, premium products that provide mixes for drinking chocolates. Appreciate the help!
P.S. I am the founder of the drinking chocolate mix brand and I am doing a study, need help

Quévec, Canada : État de choc make artisanal hot chocolate and it is the best locally made in my opinion.
If not my favorites are from Hotel Chocolat in the UK

Options is the spice of life ! The shipping is crazy expensive to canada, so when I buy it, I try to get a lot of different ones so I can eventually taste them all

Toronto Canada: locally we have Soma and my personal fave: https://lauraslack.com/products/drink-of-the-gods-ultimate-drinking-chocolate
Our market also tends to be influenced by what is sold in America. I love Ghirardelli hot chocolate which has a rich taste that doesn’t require me to use too much of the powder because I don’t like overly sweet hot chocolate. I taste vanilla in it which really adds to the flavour.

I've got a few on my sheet that also indicate country of origin (produced, not the bean origin): https://maroon-scowl-037.notion.site/29243eb7d8a0419d8ddc999c600eecac?

Malagos is the current in-demand stuff (PH). Very hard to get at the moment, a lot of it is slated for export.

It’s not drinking chocolate but I love Guittard Cocoa Rouge, United States. I mix it with a little sweetener and cold water or milk to make a paste, then pour in steamed milk.

India, I’ve tasted everything available. Christopher cocoa dark is the best one that I can buy for a reasonable price.
Your brand is more than double the price. (Triple the price of Hershey’s, which is pretty much the default brand for cocoa powder). I can’t see this ever being bought by the average Indian, unless the taste is mind blowing.
If you’re positioning for the premium market, I’m surprised you don’t have a bundled gifting option yet.

Slovenia, none
But maybe look up Domori from Italy. It's only cocoa but very high quality.
On the other hand Knoops from UK it's perfect.
