Ever since our very first stall at Borough market in 2000, our hot chocolate has drawn  a cult following and has been consistently singled out as outstanding. Countless times have I been asked what our secret was. You can be part of it now, it is written on our tin. All it requires is a little patience as good things come to those who wait.

Flakes of intense Colombian 70% dark chocolate, an exceptional fine flavour cacao from Palenque in Cartagena. It effortlessly transforms in a decadently rich, thick, unctuous hot chocolate that may just keep you going for the day. Each tin contains 8 very generous servings of bliss.

Sweeter than dark, more intense than milk, this dark milk chocolate comes from fine cocoa beans grow in Arauca, in the extreme north of the Orinoco Basin of Colombia, bordering Venezuela. It strikes a delicate balance between milk and dark, never allowing one to overpower the other, and effortlessly transforms in a decadently rich, thick, unctuous hot chocolate that may just keep you going for the day. Each tin contains 8 very generous servings of bliss for milk lovers, dark lovers, all everyone in between.

Drinking chocolate was consumed as early as the 18th century as a medicinal drink, inspiring us to pack our drinking chocolate flakes in apothecary style jars with our secret recipe printed at the back. Our mallow hot chocolate, blending flakes of dark and white chocolate with tiny gelatine-free marshmallows is a full bodied I-want-you-now hot chocolate that is not for the faint hearted.

"If any man has drunk a little too deeply from the cup of physical pleasure; if he has spent too much time at his desk that should have been spent asleep; if his fine spirits have become temporarily dulled; if he finds the air too damp, the minutes too slow, and the atmosphere too heavy to withstand; if he is obsessed by a fixed idea which bars him from any freedom of thought: if he is any of these poor creatures, we say, let him be given a good pint of amber-flavoured chocolate... and marvels will be performed." - Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin.

We acquiesce: few ailments in life cannot be soothed by our comforting caramel drinking chocolate, especially when paired with our salted caramel biscuits.
