Just when you thought we'd reached peak chai perfection with our Melbourne Chai blend, we infused it in pure honey to create our sultry Sticky Chai.
 
Like a warm hug in a mug, this blend is perfect for those who like to live life on the sweeter side.
 
Ingredients:
Puerh tea, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon verbena, ginger, black peppercorn (all organic).
 
Health benefits:
Cinnamon: Known as a digestive aid, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, warming and grounding, antiviral and anti-fungal. Cinnamon is an effective herb for strengthening and harmonising the flow of circulation. Used in Ayurvedic medicine for tooth ache, muscle tension, colds and flus, and is also considered to strengthen the heart, warm the kidneys and promote healthy digestion. A universal medicine that adds flavour, sweetness, aroma and warmth to food.
 
Cardamom pods: They are used for both culinary and therapeutic purposes. They're native to southern India and have been used for thousands of years to assist digestion. Benefits include; appetizer, carminative, stimulant, stomachic.
 
Lemon Verbena: Lemon verbena is native to South America, known for its medicinal effects and qualities as a food additive. Health benefits include: weight loss, strengthens muscles, reduces inflammation, boosts immunity, aids in digestion, relieves anxiety and treats congestion. Lemon verbena has a lighter, less aggressive flavour that other lemon-based plants, best described as lemon perfume. Also used topically on the skin to soften and relieve puffiness.
 
Honey: Honey have as many antioxidants as fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants help to protect your body from cell damage due to free radicals. It’s also a potent prebiotic, meaning it nourishes the good bacteria that live in the intestines, which are crucial not only for digestion but overall health.
