We let our lovely customers suggest which chai blend they’d like to see next and this was the winner!
We took our best-selling Melbourne Chai and added premium raw honey. We then sprinkled deliciously floral lavender flowers and decadent vanilla paste with real vanilla seeds.
The result? A silky, creamy aromatic chai perfect for sipping on a winter’s day.
