The Chocolate Teapot

The Chocolate Teapot

The Chocolate teapot specialises in fresh cream truffles, caramels and ganaches, handmade in Brighton, UK.

The Chocolate teapots aim is to produce top quality fresh cream truffles and chocolates. Handmade in Brighton, we specialise in using local fresh ingredients and the highest quality chocolate. Flavour fashions come in cycles, but in my opinion, using fresh produce is always best. For example; Using a nature identical apple flavour is not the same as using an apple; it doesn't caramelise, it doesn'

Good afternoon to all!! The sun has stayed with us, how lucky are we?? Good old May, and two long weekends, the banks are good for one thing at least ;) How much more alive is everything now, including people! So your tastebuds should be sufficiently awake for this months taster box which includes the following :

Apple and Cinnamon Caramel in Milk Chocolate

Lime Chilli and Coconut in White Chocolate

Saffron Ganache in Dark Chocolate

Toasted Pecan and Caramel Milk Roche

Cherry Ganache in Dark Chocolate

Nutmeg and Vanilla Ganache in White Chocolate

As always our chocolates are made with real ingredients, no preservatives and no oils or concentrates. I believe that humans can't make better "nature identical" flavours than nature can, you can't caramelise Apple oil and there is little enjoyment in eating something you know is full of nasties. So when we make a raspberry ganache, we make it with fresh raspberries, a splash of cream and chocolate, as it should be made. So expect lots of real flavour from this months selection!

The boxes are £15 packed and posted (UK) and £12 if you pick it up in Brighton, orders can be made via email to [email protected] or message me here with the button above :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Please place your orders via email to [email protected] or pm me on here :)

Wow! Its March! Did anyone see February? I think I blinked and missed it, where is time going? To cure yourself of Missing Time disorders, have something to look forward to, something to enjoy and something to make things cosy......... like a taster box from The Chocolate Teapot, it cures so many ailments!
(DISCLAIMER: Taster boxes from The Chocolate Teapot will not cure you of anything other than unstimulatedtastebuderitis, which may or may not be real, I may have made it up to sell more chocolates)
(Ive checked, yep, I definitely made it up).
As spring is approaching (the daffodils and magnolia tree tell me so), I have designed some flavours to stir up some life in you to ease the transition from sleepy winter chocolate lover to wide eyed spring time chocolate lover.

Without further ado:

Ginger and Chilli ganache in Single Origin Venezuelan Dark Chocolate
Cardamom infused ganache in Fine French Milk Chocolate
Lemon and Black Pepper ganache in Fine French White Chocolate
Lime and basil ganache in Single Origin Venezuelan Dark Chocolate

Happy New Year Everyone!

So, how many of you are sticking to your New Years resolutions? If they are anything to do with not eating chocolate, turn away now!

This months taster box flavours are.........

Sweet potato and vanilla ganache in Milk chocolate
Flat white ganache in Milk chocolate
Cloudberry ganache in White chocolate
Lemon and Fennel ganache in White Chocolate
Gingerbread ganache in Dark Chocolate
Earl grey ganache in Dark Chocolate

Each box has 12 chocolates, 2 of each flavour, easy to share (or try twice :) )

Boxes are £15 (inc. p&p) or for you Brighton locals that are able to pick them up £12 :)

I feel that a little background on the cloudberry is necessary here, as they really are unique!
The cloudberries (moltebær) used in this recipe grow in the marshes of Norway, where they need very particular growing conditions. Because of this they aren't farmed or cultivated, just picked wild from often secret patches when they ripen. They have a tart almost floral flavour that is really quite unique, they grow singly on stalks, looking like a raspberry with oversized "segments" and start off red, ripening to an amber/orange. The Norwegians call them forest gold, id be inclined to agree with them, I found about 5 on a mountain in Norway and I felt like I had won the lottery!

I hope you like this months selection of flavours, don't forget that the Smoked Salt Caramel box is available anytime, and yearly subscriptions come with a little discount :)

Please pm me to place an order, or send me an email at [email protected]

Its a custom design based on a mid century classic style, and features 4 separate pieces of wood in drum shapes. It measures 75 cm x 35 cm. If you would like something similar, or something custom just for you- get in touch!
