It says it has 0 sugar. So, why does it not taste horribly bitter when I taste it?

I add it to coffee without any sugar and I do not notice any extreme bitterness.

Why is that so?

I'm not familiar with that brand, but cocoa powder can be processed differently. The major categories are "natural" and "dutch processed", the latter being less acidic and having a somewhat milder flavor. And of course various brands may vary.
