This is also the generation most likely to spend time on social media, so you don’t need to search for long to find thousands of stylised shots of mugs of cocoa so deep and rich they’ll have you drooling – and wanting to serve up similar to your clientele.

Of course, a big part of the appeal is the way the cocoa is presented. Even the tastiest hot cocoa is going to look unappetising in the wrong vessel.

This is where Trenton’s crockery ranges hit the sweet spot.

Modelled on the rustic, artisanal style that’s seen a huge rise in popularity in recent years – especially among Gen Zers – these gorgeous beverage sets provide a comforting home for that most comforting of drinks.

What an ideal combination to finish off the winter. www.shop.bunzl.com.au/trenton
