Cocodirect

Hot chocolate - it's a tricky thing. When you have a longing for a large mug of hot chocolate, that tastes indulgently rich, dark and creamy - it's always frustratingly disappointing to get a mug full of powdered sweetness with very little nod towards the rich flavour of cocoa that your taste buds have been hankering for.

How brilliant then, that Cafédirect have come up with Cocodirect - a hot chocolate drink that tastes as it should: richly intense, with a chocolaty flavour that's full of depth. If you want to be particularly indulgent, then load up three or four heaped teaspoons of this drinking chocolate into your favourite mug, add a little full fat milk to make a paste, pour a lot of hot full fat milk into said mug to make up your chocolate drink and simply stir, sip and savour.

Cafédirect is the UK's largest Fairtrade hot drinks company and works closely with producers in developing countries to ensure that they obtain a fair and stable price for their crops. So whilst you're sipping your delectable mug of hot chocolate, you can be even more content in knowing that Cafédirect will put 86% of their operating profits back into tailor-made support and training initiatives for their growers. Drink up.
