How to win the hearts of your demanding consumers ? LOOKS MATTER. Consumers believe that cocoa or chocolate products with darker color give a richer chocolatey taste and are of higher quality than the usual products. 

Experience from normal to EXTRAORDINARY with a sprinkle of COCOA BOOSTER!

Sounds impossible? We did a little experiment with cocoa magic box...

We have invited 300 consumers from around Asia Pacific to join us on a blind tasting validation. 

They blind tasted 2 products in the same format (chocolate cookies or chocolate drinks) - one made with normal recipe vs one made with Cocoa Booster. 

They then proceeded to vote for their preferred choice between the 2 products and here’s the extraordinary results...

Most consumers voted for products made with COCOA BOOSTER due to BETTER TASTE & BETTER VISUAL!
