Do you mean just the retail sales, or overall? As far as I know, they still do wholesale

Die Produkte werden nicht an Endverbraucher sondern ausschließlich an Großhändler und zur Weiterverarbeitung an andere Unternehmen der Nahrungsmittelindustrie geliefert
I'm used to seeing/using Schokinag in the big white industrial tub format, although I know that it was sold via Amazon and in shops in the US. In fact, I just purchased a tin in the US a few weeks ago.
There are many German and a few French products I would recommend, but as OP is looking for something in Vancouver, I tried to focus on products they would be able to locate relatively easily.
At least one Daniel chocolates has a 'cafe' setting and they may have something similar OP to what you requested. Also Berlin chocolatier Fassbender & Rausch (they have a famous shop and cafe on the Gendarmenmarkt with hot chocolate choices) does sell their product at Costco and London Drugs at times (the big treasure chest is actually far less to purchase there than in the actual shop in Berlin!). I don't believe however that you would find a drinking chocolate from them, but their geographic line is quite good shaved into hot milk as an alternative.
