English Breakfast Tea with Cocoa Shells Drinking Chocolate is a unique hot chocolate created by Hotel Chocolat that draws inspiration from the flavors of a traditional English breakfast tea. The product combines high-quality chocolate with finely milled cocoa shells, incorporating the malty and robust character associated with classic breakfast tea into a rich drinking chocolate format.

Cocoa shells, the natural husks surrounding cacao beans, contribute subtle notes of black tea, toasted grain, and cocoa, adding complexity to the overall flavor profile. The result is a beverage that balances deep chocolate richness with gentle tannic and malty undertones reminiscent of a morning tea blend.

When prepared with hot milk or a dairy alternative, it develops a smooth and creamy texture while retaining its distinctive aromatic character. The flavor unfolds with notes of cocoa, malt, biscuit, and delicate tea-like nuances, followed by a long and comforting finish.

This product reflects Hotel Chocolat’s innovative approach to cacao, exploring ingredients and flavors beyond conventional hot chocolate recipes. It is designed for consumers seeking a more sophisticated and layered drinking chocolate experience.

The combination of chocolate and cocoa shells creates a beverage that is both familiar and unusual, bridging the worlds of fine chocolate and traditional tea culture.
