Behind your
cup of cocoa
YOUR CUP OF COCOA
Our chocolatier-crafted beads are made for slow sips and moments to melt into. A Cup of Cocoa is a moment we believe should be cherished. Whether it’s Rich Dark to start your day, or Salted Caramel poured over ice on a summer’s day–behind every cup is a story of craft, care, and time well spent.
BEAUTIFUL BEADS
Our story begins with an ex-Harrods chocolatier, who spent countless hours testing, tasting, mixing, mashing, heating, and cooling–until the chocolate bead was born. Made with the finest-grade ingredients, it’s nothing like powder or flakes.
SUSTAINABLE SOURCE
We source our cocoa from Ghana, Ivory Coast, and the Dominican Republic, where ideal climates, expert farmers, and the shade of the natural canopy bring out the best in every bean. Working closely with our sustainability partners, we ensure that the cocoa beans we source support local farmers and their communities. After harvest, the beans are fermented under banana leaves—a traditional method that develops deep, complex flavours. They’re then sun-dried and roasted whole, before being slowly conched to bring out their smooth, balanced taste.
OUR COMMUNITY
Finally, it all comes together in our Essex chocolate factory. Here, our chocolatiers craft five unique blends, each with its own tasting profile. It’s for sure a one-of-a-kind hot chocolate. Now, over to you.
TRUE TO CHOCOLATE
While cocoa prices have risen, speciality hot chocolate should never lose what makes it special. It should always be crafted with the best ingredients, staying true to what matters most: exceptional chocolate.
