Yum … subtly seductive

I love so many of other Earthrise blends that I just had to give the new Comfort + Focus ‘adaptogenic cacao blend … hot choc’ a try; so jumped in to preorder prior to Christmas.

Being a loyal fan of previous blends I hesitated a tad and then without knowing it, this new blend seductively became my go-to with all visitors and myself consistently.

Highly recommend.

We love this! Seductive is the perfect word. ER <3

At first I wasn't sure it would be worth it

At first I wasn't sure it would be worth it, however after a longer day than usual, I just got home and had a cup - feels like its restoring me already!
Usually I've had a cup in the evening and enjoy the wind down.

We're so happy to hear that our hot chocolate helped you unwind after a long day. ER <3

I decided to try Earthrise to help cut down on my

I decided to try Earthrise to help cut down on my caffeine intake because not only was I feeling more and more anxious but insomnia had been creeping in. I now enjoy more steady energy through the day without the jitters and nerves or the crash in the afternoon. The insomnia is also gone. I have fibro and I feel like my brain fog has been lessened since starting with Earthrise too. I recommend it to my friends now ☺️

We're so glad to hear that Earthrise has made such a positive difference for you. Thanks for sharing your experience and for recommending us to your friends. ER <3

I couldn't be happier - 5 STARS!!

I have tried giving up coffee yearly for 15 years and will always have to resort to paracetamol in the first 10 days to be rid of the headache. And i eventually go back to it after a couple of months when the stress gets high and I need to pull in long nights due to work. This is the FIRST time - since trying EarthRise - I did not get a headache when I went off coffee. I am now 3 months in using this as my morning drink, together with some protein powder - it gives me the same energy and buzz as coffee without any of the crash later. Going off coffee also means I am getting more sleep at night. I had some teething issues with running my self-stirring mug, and the team was very responsive and helped me solve the issue - so 5 stars for customer service too. I couldn't be happier!

What a huge win! We are absolutely thrilled to hear you bypassed those awful withdrawal headaches and are enjoying crash-free energy. ER <3

WOW, it’s good!

I tried this hot chocolate with the recent deal and WOW, it’s good! It tastes amazing and feels like the best treat on a cool evening. I usually don’t like any sweetness at all, but the little bit of coconut sugar is just right. Thanks for another great product! Quality, health, and taste combine for pure enjoyment.

We're so thrilled you loved it! It really is the ultimate cozy evening treat. Thanks for giving us a try! ER <3

Tastes chocolaty, without the super sweet aftertaste. I have it at morning tea, afternoon tea, or at night after dinner. Doesn’t cause bloating, and also isn’t a stimulant. Great alternative option for those of us who find coffee increases your heart rate.

Love it! Thanks so much for the kind words, we personally have issues with heartrate after caffeine and can empathise with you! ER <3

It’s grown on me!

I started drinking Earthrise because I have given up coffee. It’s not like coffee at all, and I wasn’t an instant fan, but it has really grown on me. Now, I love the taste. I especially love the hot chocolate.

Glad the hot chocolate sealed the deal for you. ER <3

The Tastiest Hot Chocolate!

Having tried the other products from Earthrise, I decided to give Dark Matter a go and it hasn't disappointed! It has become my daily dose of yum! Dark Matter's taste is a truly chocolatey hit, with just the perfect sweetness from coconut sugar. I have been enjoying Dark Matter throughout the day, and sometimes at night, and it also has the added benefit of their special mushroom blend. It's a keeper for me and I hope it becomes a regular product.

We are so happy to hear Dark Matter has become your 'daily dose of yum.' Thank you for making us a regular part of your day! ER <3

Thanks mate! That 'happy tummy' feeling is exactly what we aimed for... all the indulgence with none of the usual bloating. Stoked to hear it's your new favourite! ER <3

Such a treat!!

Absolutely in love with this hot chocolate. The perfect level of chocolate-y without being overly sweet, and no feeling of heaviness either if drank in the evening. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an all day hot chocolate!

That's music to our ears. We are thrilled you love the balance and that light feeling! Thanks so much for recommending us. ER <3

Yum. That’s the best way to describe this indulgent treat. AND it’s good for you! Which means that it’s a guilt-free, rich, chocolatey drink you can have any time of the day. What more could a girl want? :-)

Luscious luxury! We might have to steal that one! 😉 We are so glad you can enjoy a rich, guilt-free treat whenever you need it. Thanks for the glowing review. ER <3

Frequently asked questions

Earthrise does contain a small amount of caffeine, roughly one tenth of the amount contained in a standard cup of coffee. This comes naturally from the cacao, but is experienced differently to caffeine that comes from coffee beans due to the accompanying high theobromine content. Check out our Learn page for more information!

All of our ingredients are ethically sourced from their natural origins across the globe, ensuring that you’re getting the highest quality inputs.

All of our ingredients are shipped to Melbourne where they’re assembled, packaged and distributed to you.

Do you experience the 3pm crash? Feeling sweaty in the afternoon? Heart racing too quickly to concentrate? Then Earthrise is right for you.

Because we use ceremonial grade cacao, it’s best to mechanically blend or mix your Earthrise with 150mL of hot water to unlock all of the benefits. We like ours with a bit of honey and oat milk, but you do you!

None of our mushrooms will make you trip but the taste, value, quality and benefits of our product might. Stay safe out there.

Earthrise combines a host of natural ingredients to recreate the experience of drinking coffee - without the actual coffee. We’ve got nothing against it, it’s just not right for us anymore.

While we’d usually shout the benefits of Earthrise from the rooftops, you know your body better than anybody and should speak with a health professional before consuming if you are at all concerned.
