Chai Black Tea
LEAF BEFORE SYRUP
Black tea, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper. Chai with its structure intact.
A spiced black tea that begins with tea rather than a flavour pump.
The story
Somewhere between the leaf and the paper cup, chai became a word printed beneath six syrup options. This blend starts over: robust black tea, ginger, cinnamon, green cardamom and black pepper. Add milk if you like. The spices have already done the naming.
What this actually is
A black tea blend with ginger, cinnamon, green cardamom and black pepper. Dark leaf gives it structure, the warming spices fill the middle and pepper keeps the finish dry and alert.
Kept for: Black tea · Ginger · Cardamom · Chai before branding
Taste profile
- Base: Robust black tea
- Middle: Cinnamon and ginger

Why choose it
- Product truth: A direct blend of black tea and named spices, with no need for café shorthand.
- Sensory: Dark leaf provides structure while ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper build a dry spiced cup.
- Practical: Drink it plain for firmness or add milk for a softer chai-style brew.
- Identity: For people who want the tea part of chai to remain employed.
Reach for it when
- The café version tastes mainly of its own adjective
- Cardamom should be findable in the cup
- Black tea should be allowed to carry the spice
The sensible bit
Contains naturally occurring caffeine. Check the complete ingredient and allergen declaration on the tin before use. Hot water can scald. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and strong odours. Use by the best-before date shown on the pack.

The syrup pump has been declined
