Hot chocolate is already a winter mainstay, but these mugs make the experience even better. Verve Culture’s hot chocolate mugs are handmade in Mexico using local clay, traditional tools and classic techniques. Every material was chosen for a reason, from a glaze that helps mitigate condensation to the use of naturally insulating clay that keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold (yes, you can put cold drinks in there too). And as an added bonus, each mug will vary slightly in shape, proportion and glaze to give each a one-of-a-kind feel. Comes in a set of two.

Dimensions: 14-ounce mugs, 4-inch diameter by 4 inches tall
Materials: Lead-free red clay
Place of Origin: Mexico

Try this adaptation of traditional Oaxacan Hot Chocolate that leaves a gentle tingling heat from a dash of chipotle chili powder.

Mexican tasas de barro, or clay cups, were the inspiration behind Verve Culture’s hot chocolate mugs, traditionally used for enjoying drinking chocolate, a treat that dates to the Olmec, Mayan and Aztec civilizations.

While hot chocolate is enjoyed hot today, drinking chocolate, made up of ground cocoa seeds, water, cornmeal and chili peppers, was originally served cold. The mixture was poured back and forth between two cups until it became frothy. [/banner-text-break] Serve and enjoy. We like with vanilla or almonds for its short ingredient list and depth of flavor.
