Choc Chai Drinking Chocolate 200g
Here at Grounded Pleasures, after much thought and many trials, we are thrilled to present a perfect addition to our exquisite range of drinking chocolates.
Our best selling duo – our Original Drinking Chocolate and our Seven Spiced Chai.
We took the finest cocoa and blended it with seven exotic spices, added a sprinkle of tea, then a dash of unrefined jaggery sugar. We mixed with care until it was perfectly balanced, so that when we tasted the hot chocolate, it effortlessly danced across the tongue. We believe that we have created the most superb, chocolatey-chai drinking chocolate around, our very special Grounded Pleasures Choc-Chai.
Pink Salt Caramel Drinking Chocolate 200g
Many chefs live by the rule that salt makes everything taste better. Grounded Pleasures have taken their lovely bold and exquisite cocoa, added a naturally caramelly unrefined organic panela cane sugar and seasoned it with pink lake salt. It is smooth and utterly delicious.
The Dimboola Pink Lake salt is strikingly pink. Fed by an ancient aquifer, its unique blend of minerals gives it a wonderful well-rounded complex flavour. This makes it just the thing to add to the Pink Salt Caramel Drinking Chocolate to perfectly balance all the wonderful ingredients.
Noir Dark Drinking Chocolate 1kg
Cinnamon Spice Drinking Chocolate 1kg
The Cinnamon Spice Drinking Chocolate is made in a northern European style. We subtly blend our fine Original cocoa with freshly cold ground cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and cardamon. These work incredibly well together to add zest and spice to the cup.
Our Cinnamon Spice Drinking Chocolate is made using most of the cocoa bean. The high cocoa butter content gives the cocoa a remarkable textural mouth feel when it blends with hot milk. This creates an incredibly sumptuous and invigorating hot chocolate experience.
The quality cocoa beans together with a minimum of processing, means it has very high levels of antioxidants and flavonoids. These are the great “health giving” properties of fine chocolate. Good cocoa is complex (like good wine and coffee).
