Our Saint Lucian Island Growers 70% Dark Hot Chocolate Sachets showcase the unique flavour profile of Saint Lucian cacao, grown from the sun-kissed volcanic soil of this Caribbean island.

These single-origin beans are selected by our chocolatiers straight from the Island Growers of Saint Lucia, who we’ve worked with for over 20 years, to become the star performer in this multifaceted chocolate drink.

Take a sip, and notes of red cherry unfurl to reveal the subtle, nutty warmth of almonds. Not too sweet and not too bitter, it’s a drinking experience that – thanks to the unique Saint Lucian cacao – piques the palate from the very first taste.

The secret? We closely guard these high-quality cacao beans – which are grown in line with our gentle farming initiatives then sorted, dried and fermented at our Rabot Estate cacao farm – all the way from the Caribbean to Cambridgeshire. That’s where we roast and conch them at our Hadley Park HQ before transforming them into our Saint Lucian Island Growers 70% Dark Drinking Chocolate Sachets.

Just add to your Velvetiser - our at-home hot chocolate machine - locate your Podcup and let yourself be soothed by indulgent, silky smooth hot chocolate. To elevate your experience even further, try stirring one of our Saint Lucian Island Growers 70% Dark Chocolate Batons into your drink. You’ll never use a spoon again.

No Velvetiser? Simply whisk into 220ml of milk or a dairy alternative and heat, don’t boil. Or, serve it chilled over ice for a cooling chocolatey kick.
