Smooth, velvety drinking chocolate with a pinch of Himalayan salt.

Our Original Chocolate is our house favourite: rich and creamy, gently sweet, with a touch of Himalayan salt that makes the chocolate taste even more like chocolate. We make it from ethically grown Ivory Coast cocoa at 35%, high in fat for a deeper flavour and a properly velvety cup.

And that’s all we use. No emulsifiers, no fillers, just premium, sustainably sourced, vegan ingredients. Whisk it up, wrap your hands around it, and take five minutes for yourself.

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.

Customers praised this hot chocolate as "the best" with "rich, creamy" flavor and smooth dissolving quality. Many noted the perfect balance - "not too sweet" with natural ingredients. Works well with water or various milks. Some found it too sweet or expensive. One shopper mentioned confusing preparation instructions (4 tsp vs 2 tsp for 22g).

5 Stars - Repeat customer for sure

After trying what felt like every iteration to bring new flavour to my coffee, I stumble across this while in London via a coffee shop, someone what sceptical when told to try it in my coffee blend but, boy was I glad I did.

For me it gets the balance right, not to rich or to sweet, just right.

Repeat customer guaranteed

Delicious!

I am currently pregnant and not particularly enjoying the taste of decaf coffee - so I decided to switch up my morning routine to a hot chocolate and this stuff is brilliant! I brew with just water and a splash of milk and it is still delicious - so I imagine following the instructions gives the perfect cup. Being able to buy 1kg at a time is great too. 100% recommend.

Hi Sophie. Thanks for your kind words, we're so happy to hear this!

Original Choc

I have ordered this after trying the house choc and being so impressed. It didn't disappoint. Both are delicious. Will definitely be reordering!

Thanks for the review, we love to hear it! Harriet

The best hot chocolate range I’ve ever tried. Only one issue is with the instructions for making up. It states 4 teaspoons or 22g ( there abouts depending on variety). Bit having weighed it 2 teaspoons is 22g, it tastes wonderful with that amount and having tried it with 4 teaspoons it ruins the overall taste (far too strong).
So yes 5 stars as the product is great just the instructions need amending. Sceptical me just thinks maybe a sales tactic, use more each time, = higher turnover 😉🤣

Great product, have tried the matcha and hot chocolates - delicious

Have bought the matcha a few times and its really tasty and not bitter. Note they do add coconut sugar but that gives a subtle sweetness. Wonderful.
I have also tried two of their hot chocolates and they are great. Dissolve really well and there is a great dark chocolaty taste without the bitterness of cocoa. Not sweet like some. Love the original blend.
Really good company quick delivery and products are not expensive.

Best hot chocolate

This has to be the best hot chocolate surely... from someone who didnt even like hot chocolate 2 months ago and now has this daily. Try it !

Simply gorgeous

Finally a hot chocolate that is healthy and delicious. It's rich, creamy and not too sweet. Just perfect. So happy to have found you, oh, Blendsmiths from coco land bliss!

Gorgeous taste

Absolutely gorgeous taste. Have loved pairing it with coconut or hazelnut milk for extra creaminess.

Delicious!

Being a major hot chocolate fan, I’ve tried many different brands and without doubt this is the best! The Original Blend is rich, smooth and delicious and an essential part of my daily life!

It's delicious

First timer !!!

The original chocolate blend is the #1 for me!!!

Lovely Hot Chocolate

Made this with fortified Almond milk. Very smooth! Calories not horrific, but an even lower calorie version would be appreciated (still with natural ingredients).

Hi Jay,

We’re glad to hear you love our Hot Choc! Thank you for your feedback about a low-calorie version—it’s something we’ll definitely keep in mind for the future. Our priority is to stick to simple, natural ingredients without using anything unusual like fillers or gums, we're glad you're a fan of our mission.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Team Blendsmiths.

The best

I didn’t think it was possible to have such a rich and creamy hot chocolate without making it from chocolate shards themselves. 10/10

Thank you for your kind words, Sarah. It's not magic, just a super velvety rich Ivory Coast cocoa at the forefront! We're so glad you like it. From, Team Blendsmiths.

Lot of sugar

Found it very sweet

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear this one was a bit too sweet for your taste. We know everyone’s preferences are different, which is why we offer a range of options to suit every palate. If you’re looking for something with a richer cocoa flavor and less sugar, we recommend trying our 51% chocolate. It’s a great choice for a more balanced, less sweet experience—we hope you’ll enjoy it!

Really good!

Best vegan hot chocolate I’ve tried, tastes velvety with good flavour

Original Chocolate Blend

Yummmmm

I love the smooth creaminess of the original chocolate blend

Best hot chocolate ever

I am an absolute chocoholic and don't drink tea or coffee so I have had my fair share of hot chocolates over the years and this is definitely the best I have ever tasted

Quality Hot Chocolate

Blendsmiths is the best hot chocolate i've experienced on the market. Love the ease of its dissolving quality as well as the taste. I have converted a couple of chocolate loving friends to this brand.

Best hot choc ever

Just the most amazing hot chocolate ever. First tried at Manchester Coffee Festival last year and have been raving about it to everyone ever since. The Original blend is my favourite - the perfect amount of sweetness to feel like a lovely treat (I found the House blend too sweet for my tastes, but my partner loves it). The sea salt just elevates it so much. Love how simple the ingredients are too.

Delicious and vegan

Got this for my husband, he absolutely loves it. Would definitely recommend, I want to get the matcha for myself next!

the best!

We stock this in our shop and have had multiple customers say how it's the best hot chocolate they've ever had!

Excellent

Full and Rich Flavour and not too sweet

A nice product, tasty but a little expensive

Firs Time buyer

Had this in a cafe in the park in Fulham. Was so delicious I went and asked the owner what hot chocolate they used so I could buy some. Definitely not disappointed. excellent!!

Original Chocolate Blend

Worlds best hot chocolate

Untold

Delicious and best Chocolate!

Absolutely the best tasty hot chocolates!
It would be nice if the cocoa to be 70% instead of 51% in dark choc blend.

divine
