A smooth and luxurious drinking chocolate with Himalayan salt.
Our Original Chocolate is smooth and creamy with a delicate sweetness at touch of the finest Himalayan salt for the ultimate chocolate indulgence. Crafted from an exceptional West African cocoa which has been responsibly grown and harvested.
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.

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 ORIGINAL 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..
This premium hot chocolate blend earns high praise, with customers calling it "the best hot chocolate ever." It's described as "rich, smooth, and delicious" with perfect balance—not too sweet. The product dissolves easily and works well with various milk alternatives. Some note it's slightly expensive, and one customer found it too sweet. Minor confusion exists about preparation instructions.

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!

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.

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!

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.

It would be nice if the cocoa to be 70% instead of 51% in dark choc blend.

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
