What is inside

We make our chai from scratch with organic ingredients where possible. The base uses clove, star anise, cardamom, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon sticks, ginger, tea, and coconut sugar. It is brewed for a layered spice profile instead of a flat premade-syrup taste.

Whole spice base

Clove, star anise, cardamom, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon sticks, and ginger give the chai its warm spice.

Tea and coconut sugar

Tea and coconut sugar keep the flavor rounded, bold, and not one-dimensional.

Hot or iced

Order it hot when you want comfort, or iced when you want the same spice profile in a colder format.

How it feels

It feels aromatic, layered, and handmade, with warm spice from clove, star anise, cardamom, black pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and ginger. Coconut sugar gives it a soft sweetness without making it taste like a generic concentrate.
