The story
Why unalkalised cocoa matters
Most hot chocolate powders use Dutch-processed cocoa, which has been treated with alkaline to mellow the flavour and darken the colour. Harth takes a different path. Their Original uses natural, unalkalised cocoa powder, which keeps more of the bright, fruity notes that get stripped out in processing. The result is a richer, more complex chocolate flavour.
Mix it with hot milk and you get something genuinely thick. Not thin and watery, not gritty, just smooth and properly satisfying. The kind of hot chocolate that coats the back of a spoon and leaves a little moustache. Works beautifully with oat milk, full-fat dairy, or whatever you have in the fridge.
Harth is a small ethical chocolate maker based in Somerset. They pack their hot chocolate in plastic-free, recyclable pouches. No fuss, no waste, just good chocolate made properly.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Is this hot chocolate suitable for vegans?
Yes. The ingredients are sugar, cocoa powder, cornflour and salt. No milk or animal products. Just check your milk choice is vegan too.
How many servings do I get from one bag?
About fifteen mugs from the 400g bag, using two to three teaspoons per serving. Generous pourers might get a few less.
Can I use plant milk with this?
Absolutely. Oat milk makes it particularly creamy. Soy, almond and coconut all work well too. The cocoa is the star, so it adapts.
Does it contain any allergens?
It may contain traces of milk, nuts, mustard, peanuts, cereals containing gluten and soya. Worth noting if you have sensitivities.
How should I store it?
Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place below 24°C, away from direct sunlight. It will stay fresh for at least twelve months from manufacture.
