You Deserve More Than Compromise

Most hot chocolates list sugar first, cocoa fourth. They're built for shelf life, not your enjoyment.

We take a different approach. Every blend puts cocoa first, crafted to bring genuine comfort to your evening moments.

"I created The Gentle Mug because I was tired of sugary drinks that hide everything special about real cocoa, masquerading as hot chocolate."
— Emmanuel

The Gentle Mug Difference

Three principles guide everything we do. They're not just words; they're promises we keep with every batch.

Single-Origin, Always

Single-Origin, Always

We work directly with family farms in Peru and Ecuador. You taste the terroir, the care, and the craft in every cup. No blending to hide inferior beans.

Lower Sugar, Fuller Flavour

Lower Sugar, Fuller Flavour

Our cocoa shines without excessive sweetness. With 40% less sugar than typical hot chocolates, you experience the true depth of premium cocoa.

Small-Batch Perfection

Small-Batch Perfection

We roast and blend in small batches, allowing us to maintain meticulous standards. Each batch is tasted and approved before it reaches you.
