Where Did English Lavender Goupie Come From?
English Lavender Goupie originally came about when the Hop Shop, long-time customers, and situated on a lavender farm, asked if we'd consider trying their products in Goupie. We set about trialing a few different essential oils, and using the petals directly in the base. Eventually, we came up with 6 different variations, and taste tested them at an event hosted by the Hop Shop. We asked customers to vote on their favourite variation, and discovered an even tie between our current English Lavender recipe (formally known as Dark Chocolate & Lavender) and our White Chocolate & Lavender recipe. As you can probably guess, we decided to keep both in our line, and they've been a part of the Goupie family ever since!
What’s in English Lavender Goupie?
English Lavender Goupie consists of our signature cocoa-syrup base, filled with toasted rice, biscuit crumb and a lavandin essential oil. We then cover the entire piece in our 55% chocolate and top with a sprinkling of candied lavender petals.
