São Tomé Instant Hot Chocolate – direct from Chocolate Island…
São Tomé, also known as Chocolate Island, is steeped in cocoa farming history and has an unparalleled reputation for growing some of the most prized cocoa beans on earth – the criollo bean. This is due to the islands location on the equator, rich soils, the perfect balance of temperature along with the perfect humidity and forest shade.
The result is a delicious, sweet, delicate (and Fairtrade of course!) cocoa which gives our São Tomé its rich, smooth taste. With only four ingredients and no added nasties you’re guaranteed a truly natural flavour in every cup!
São Tomé Hot Chocolate comes from CECAQ-11 in São Tomé. Watch the video below to hear from Jose Esparansa, a cocoa grower and MD of CECAQ-11, tell us about why this hot chocolate has changed his life.

I would like to offer my opinion of this wonderful chocolate drink. As soon as you open the lid the you are welcomed by a lovely colour and a smell that invites you to continue.It’s just the most wonderful drink to have on a cold day in winter.The aroma evokes a sense of where the chocolate originated from, transporting me to somewhere hot and sunny.In my opinion this drink is far superior to it’s peers.
Lovely! Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had.
