A delicately rich drinking chocolate from the Ivory Coast.
Our Dark Chocolate is crafted from an exceptional Ivory Coast cocoa, which has been ethically grown and harvested. This quality of cocoa produces a rich, full-bodied and silky-smooth drinking chocolate, with a mellow sweetness.
Whilst many drinking chocolates contain unnecessary emulsifiers & fillers, we use nothing but premium, sustainably sourced, vegan ingredients, including High Fat Content cocoa for its embodiment of pure, unadulterated chocolate flavour and unparalleled velvety texture.
Storage:
Reseal after opening and store in a cool, dry place
Blended and packed in the UK using ingredients sourced from several countries.
BLENDS WITH BENEFITS
Cocoa
Premium, sustainably sourced, high-fat cocoa from West Africa, chosen for its rich chocolate flavour and velvety texture.
Himalayan Salt
Salt like no other! Himalayan salt enhances chocolate’s natural sweetness with subtle mineral nuances and a delicate savoury depth.
Coconut Sugar
Coconut sugar provides a naturally subtle caramel sweetness that complements cocoa’s richness, whilst enhancing its smooth texture and allowing its complex flavours to shine.
LET'S BREW DARK CHOC
To enjoy hot, combine one serving (22g) of your blend with 227ml (8oz) milk. Heat to your desired temperature to enjoy a warm, comforting drink.
To make iced, mix one serving (22g) with a splash of warm water to create a smooth paste. Stir into 227ml (8oz) milk, then pour over ice for a smooth, refreshing drink.
DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT..

Exceptionally smooth
I mix mine - for close to perfect results - in a velvetiser. This leads to a pleasing, silky foam, like you find in a cappucino. The chocolate taste that results is rich and satisfying for the palate.
Thanks Hugh! Glad to hear this ✨

The best vegan hot chocolate
This is the best vegan chocolate I have ever tasted because it actually tastes of chocolate. It’s sweet but not overly, rich and velvety. I have a cup every night.
Love to hear this, Nicola! ❤️

Wow!
Inherited a box of assorted choc drinks from this company when my neighbours moved and were giving stuff away. Never heard of them before. I've been working my way through the drink sachets and they're all good but this was my fave. Yum, yum yum! Nicer and less bitter than green and blacks. Deff a fan now and will be getting some in for the winter. A deff for curling up with on the sofa on a cold night!
Thank you for the wonderful review, Janette! We’re so glad to hear this. Our Chocolate blends are definitely a Winter Essential ❄️☃️

previously 51% and now dropped to 46%
This was a great product when I first tasted it a year back. Since then i bought it and the quality has dropped. 51% DARK CHOCOLATE IS NOW 46%. Dont know if this is the reason or the quality of the other ingredients.
Hi Ahmed. Thank you for your feedback - we appreciate it.
The cocoa industry is facing major challenges, with prices rising over 325% in the past 18 months. Rather than compromise on ethics or quality, we’ve made adjustments to ensure sustainability while maintaining our signature flavour. The shift from 51% to 46% cocoa was carefully considered to balance taste, texture, and responsible sourcing.
Your opionion matters to us and we want to enqure you always have the best experience with us- we've contacted you seperately to help resolve things with your recent order.
Best, Harriet @ Team Blendsmiths

Dark chocolate
Yummy, but not as creamy as I would like it to be.
Hi Cornelia,
Thank you so much for your feedback! For a creamier taste, we’d recommend trying our Original Chocolate. It features slightly less cocoa and a touch more coconut sugar, creating a smoother, sweeter flavour.
We hope this helps, and we’d love to hear what you think if you give it a try!
Best wishes,
Harriet

Easily the best hot chocolate on the planet
This is literally the best hot chocolate on the planet, it’s smooth and so rich and the perfect amount of dark chocolate. I immediately ordered a kilo bag after trying it for the first time in a cafe and it held up at home. I have tried so many dark hot chocolates and a lot of them tend to not mix into the milk well or just taste bad and this one mixes in amazingly and tastes unreal. Will continue to buy this, so worth the money.

Phenomenal
Without a doubt, the silkiest, most glorious hot chocolate there ever was. It is comfort in a cup!
This blend was the gateway to blendsmiths for me and I haven’t looked back, if I was only allowed to recommend one product (and I really recommend them all), it would be this masterpiece

The BEST hot choc out there! ❤️
I bought this dark chocolate blend after a friend of mine recommended it to me. I’m not normally a fan of hot chocolates as they often taste either too sweet or synthetic to me. However, I couldn’t have enjoyed this blend anymore than I did; super chocolatey without being sickly ! For me, it’s the perfect treat and little pick me up after I’ve had my caffeine quota for the day! Yum!

Amazing matcha
Got into blendsmith matcha as my local bakery uses it and recommended where they order from.
This matcha is 10/10 can’t go back to the other main brand you see in the shops.
Fully recommend trying this and also blendsmiths were nice enough to send over samples for me to try too! Amazing company
