Spice Dunes Chai Tea – 100g

Description

Chai Tea – Produced by Spice Dunes 

What is sticky masala chai tea?

Masala means ‘spice/spiced,’ Chai means ‘tea.’

It is a lovingly curated mix of black tea, lightly toasted and crushed whole spices, and fresh ginger held together by raw New Zealand honey.

Yum!

We use honey provided to us by local beekeepers, raw and unadulterated, as it should be. The specific type of honey can vary from batch to batch, depending on what is available at the time. We always let you know which honey has been used for your chai, so you can attribute any slight flavour variances to the different bees or flowers which contributed to each batch!
We reckon this element of the unknown adds to the excitement.

We also use quality Ceylon tea, and spices from our local Indian spice dealer.

Really, you must chai it, then you can chaime in with all the other chai lovers! 😉

For the sake of our beloved and only planet, we use packaging that will break down in your home compost. We are working towards being a carbon positive business, and we have plans to do good for the earth and its inhabitants with a percentage of every dollar we make.
