Our Saint Lucian Island Growers 50% Milk Drinking Chocolate Sachets are a celebration of cacao grown by farmers in our Island Growers programme. Saint Lucia’s rich volcanic soil bestows a distinctive flavour profile, with malty notes that unfold to reveal fruity and floral undertones in this characterful drinking chocolate.

We collect the wet cacao beans, then dry and grade them under the Saint Lucian sun on our cacao farm, Rabot Estate. All cacao grown by us and by our partners uses a method we call ‘gentle farming’ – farming that’s positive for nature and positive for farmers, helping both to thrive.

The beans are sorted, dried and fermented at our Rabot Estate cacao farm, then we roast and conch them closer to home at our Hadley Park HQ in Cambridgeshire. That’s where our expert chocolatiers transform them into pure chocolate flakes, perfectly portioned in sachets for an impeccably balanced drink, every time.

To create a luxurious hot chocolate, simply add to your Velvetiser or whisk into 220ml of milk or a dairy alternative and heat. Try dipping one of our Saint Lucian Island Growers 50% Milk Chocolate Batons in for extra indulgence, or serve chilled over ice for a cooling, chocolatey kick.
