💡 Why Does Pure Cocoa Powder Taste Bitter?

1. No Sugar or Dairy to Mask Cocoa's True Flavor
   　100% pure cocoa retains the authentic taste of the beans, with natural bitterness and slight acidity — unlike commercial cocoa powders blended with sugar or milk to balance the taste.
2. Lightly Alkalized Cocoa
   　This product uses lightly alkalized cocoa powder, which undergoes gentle alkalization to reduce some astringency while preserving most natural polyphenols and cocoa aroma.
3. Taste Sensitivity
   Modern taste buds are accustomed to sweetness, making natural bitterness harder to appreciate. But this bitterness is actually due to cocoa flavanols and polyphenols — the very nutrients that make cocoa healthy.
