Just when you thought we'd reached peak chai perfection with our Melbourne Chai blend, we infused it in rice malt syrup to create our mind-blowing Vegan Sticky Chai.
This blend is exactly the same as our Sticky Chai but with rice malt syrup instead of honey so our vegan friends don't miss out!
Like a warm hug in a mug, this blend is perfect for those who like to live life on the sweeter side.
