There’s hot chocolate, and then there’s Dark Matter, our newest adaptogenic blend created for people who want something richer, deeper and way more interesting than a standard hot choccy bev.
Hot chocolate has always had one job: taste good. Dark Matter goes further. It brings together organic cacao and functional mushrooms to create a drink that feels indulgent while still fitting into a modern, conscious lifestyle.
And no, this isn’t a “health drink pretending to be dessert.” It’s a decadent dessert-level flavour that just happens to be made with organic, whole ingredients instead of fillers, gums or artificial sweeteners.
What makes Dark Matter different?
Most hot chocolates rely on sweeteners and additives. We took the opposite approach: start with premium cacao, keep the ingredient list short and let the flavour speak for itself.
Ceremonial Grade Cacao
Dark, bold, and naturally complex. This is real cacao, the kind that gives you that deep, warming chocolate hit.
Coconut Sugar
A natural sweetener that adds caramel warmth without overpowering the cacao. No syrups, no artificial sweeteners and no weird aftertaste.
Functional Mushroom Blend
Our balanced mix of Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Maitake, Shiitake and Turkey Tail brings subtle depth and body to the drink. No gums. No oils. No additives. Just a premium chocolate blend built with intention.
Why we created Dark Matter
Earthrise customers wanted a drink that could sit comfortably in their nightly routine:
something delicious, calming, low-caffeine and made from ingredients that don’t weigh you down.
Dark Matter is designed for:
-
Slow evenings and wind-down rituals
-
Cold nights when you want real comfort
-
A bedtime treat that doesn’t wreck your sleep
-
A cosy drink to replace sugary desserts
-
Anyone who loves chocolate but wants something cleaner
It’s indulgent without being heavy. Simple without being boring. Chocolate, rethought.
How to drink Dark Matter
Make it your way:
-
