32% Sierra Leone (Single Origin) Hot Chocolate
 
This is our take on a proper hot chocolate, rich, balanced and built around quality cocoa rather than overly sweet mixes. Made using single origin cacao from Sierra Leone, this powder is the closest thing to drinking real chocolate without the need to work from scratch. It’s Fairtrade certified, with a focus on sustainable sourcing and long-term relationships with growers.
 
About the cacao
The cacao used here is grown in the Eastern and Southern regions of Sierra Leone, including Kailahun, Kenema and Kono. Farms are typically small-scale and operate within agroforestry systems, where cacao is grown under the shade of native trees. This approach supports biodiversity and helps protect surrounding ecosystems, including areas like the Gola Rainforest, while also creating ideal growing conditions for slower ripening and better flavour development. The beans are mainly Trinitario and Forastero varieties, known for producing cocoa with depth and balance.
 
What to expect
A smooth, full chocolate profile with notes of cocoa, soft fruit, nuts and gentle spice.
It’s rich without being heavy, with a natural sweetness and a clean finish that works just as well as a daily drink as it does for something more indulgent.
