Härth Hot Chocolate

There's nothing quite like wrapping your hands around a proper mug of hot chocolate on a cold Belfast evening, and Härth makes the kind worth slowing down for.

Handmade in small batches in a little workshop on the edge of Bath, Härth hot chocolate is thick, rich and Swiss-style, made to be stirred gently on the hob and enjoyed in your favourite mug. It's made with organic, fair-trade, unalkalised cocoa, so it tastes of real chocolate, not just sugar. It's also naturally vegan and lovely with dairy or plant milk.

The name comes from an old spelling of "hearth", and that's exactly the feeling inside every bag: warmth, comfort and a moment just for you. Each 400g pack makes around 15 cups, and the plastic-free, string-tied kraft packaging makes it a gorgeous gift as it is. It's perfect for stockings, teachers, neighbours, or simply treating yourself.
