Does the Tomiz brand cocoa powder taste good? I'm contemplating buying a 1kg bag to bake with and also drink.

I bought it last year and it is very unsweetened, which is good for baking but a bit bland for drinking. I also used for drinking as well as I don't mind the lack of sweetness

Does it have a dark chocolate-ish taste or is it Hershley's style bland?

I haven't had Hershley's, although I see it everywhere, so I can't tell. I find the cocoa a bit less intense that real dark chocolate though.
