The power of chocolate · 2026 Easter Collection
Since its founding in Paris in 1919, Betjeman & Barton has consistently combined expertise with a pioneering spirit. A tea house with a unique identity, it cultivates the excellence of the craft and creative boldness to offer exceptional teas and herbal teas to the widest possible audience.
Here, chocolate is neither a bar nor a praline. It is selected, sourced, and blended with the precision of a master workshop. Worked like a rare raw material, it gives rise to four powerful and indulgent infusions, conceived as so many variations on the theme of cocoa. A delicious blend of infusion and chocolate, supported by carefully chosen gourmet flavors.
®COCAO, the delicious Easter story by Betjeman & Barton
A scout for rare teas and infusions, creator of blends, and designer of bespoke recipes, Maison Betjeman & Barton incorporates the ®COCAO infusions into the natural continuity of its heritage. This collection celebrates the Maison's talent for selection, faithful to what it has cultivated for over a century: the art of telling stories through taste.
Much like its single-origin teas and scented creations, the Maison applies the same rigor to cocoa. Selection of the husks, balance of notes, length on the palate: each infusion meets the standards of a century-old house where quality and meticulousness are fundamental.
®COCAO creations are also invitations to travel. Distant plantations and their gourmet characteristics inspire unique aromatic profiles. The organic ®COCAO Plantation Los Ancones (Santo Domingo) infusion asserts a warm and rounded personality, lifted by a subtle herbaceous touch. The ®COCAO Plantation Mangaro (Madagascar) infusion reveals a slightly fruity and tangy, almost sweet structure. More full-bodied, it evokes the depth of a great dark chocolate. Other, more unexpected paths enrich the collection: the nostalgic ®COCAO Vanilla-Caramel, with its enveloping accents, and the delicately spiced ®COCAO Orange-Spices, where cocoa dialogues with vibrant notes.
The range evokes comforting childhood memories, egg hunts in the garden, and moments shared around a family table. A more subtle and less expected way to celebrate Easter, where cocoa is enjoyed in its aromatic and textural dimension, free from the sugar and density of traditional chocolate.
Four infusions to succumb to the chocolate temptation
The spirit of Easter is reinvented in a cup. Four creations to succumb to the chocolate temptation and experience a New Tea Moment:
®COCAO Plantation Mangaro (Madagascar)
Crafted from beans from the Mangaro plantation in Madagascar, this infusion reveals the floral notes of raw cocoa beans. In the cup, the light brown color releases warm and chocolatey aromas. On the palate, the texture is soft, naturally sweet, evoking the memory of an exceptional dark chocolate, without the heaviness. A gourmet and light experience, ideal for savoring Easter differently.
®COCAO Orange-Spices
A vibrant marriage of cocoa and subtly spiced orange, this infusion captivates with its balance between zesty freshness and chocolate depth. The aromas open with bright touches, highlighted by a hint of spice that awakens the senses. On the palate, the indulgence remains light and intensely fragrant. A bold and refined way to celebrate the Easter holidays.
®COCAO Vanilla-Caramel
A melting alliance of cocoa and vanilla, enhanced by a touch of caramel, this creation unfolds a smooth and enveloping infusion. The delicately sweet notes intertwine in a comforting cup, revealing a pure, intense, and delicately aromatic cocoa. An irresistible promise that evokes the sweetness of childhood, to be enjoyed as a cozy interlude in the heart of spring.
®COCAO organic · Plantation Los Ancones (Santo Domingo)
From the Los Ancones plantation in Santo Domingo, this organic infusion reveals an authentic cocoa that is deep and delicately woody. The cup, with its beautiful brown color, releases aromas with intense cocoa flavors, lifted by a subtle, naturally sweet touch. A pure and enveloping experience, ideal for enjoying a comforting and light interlude that wonderfully replaces hot chocolate.
A new tradition to share
With over 200 varieties of teas and infusions, signature blends, and seasonal collections with singular charm, Betjeman & Barton confirms its talent for transforming every tasting into a ritual.
At Easter, the Maison invites you to slow down, to savor differently, to replace the bar with the teapot. ®COCAO embodies this light and sophisticated indulgence, where chocolate aromas unfold gently, without heaviness, in an elegant cup.
