MÖRK
JUNIOR DARK 50%
HOT CHOCOLATE
The introduction to Mörk’s
ethically sourced collection
of hot chocolates, Junior
Dark clocks in at just 50%
cacao content. Don’t
let names or numbers fool
you, though, this one’s as
grown-up as it gets. Smooth,
rich, round and just that right
level of bitter. It makes a
killer milkshake, too.
$23 for 250gm.

SUGAR FREE
DRINKING
CHOCOLATE
Guilt-free goodness is a real
thing: the proof is in this
powder. Made exclusively
from organic ingredients,
this one’s softer and more
delicate than most, but it’s
by no means short on
flavour. Brighten the
morning with a cup, or
sprinkle it on your cereal.
$13.95 for 250gm.

with the addition of sugar,
spice and all things nice.

MATCHA HOT
CHOCOLATE
Not quite a tea, not quite a
cocoa, but a little bit of both.
Adventurous palates and
umami enthusiasts will relish
the way chocolate’s subtle
sweetness and the vegetal
complexity of Japanese
stone-ground matcha come
together in the cup. And
here’s to the handsome,
apothecary-style packaging.
$33 for 200gm.
